Who's your favourite Doctor?

X always makes me think of someone I knew in High School who always irritated me a bit LOL I DO like XI though... and in my more random, slightly manic moments I can be a lot like him.... it kinda wears you out though.... LOL

    I'm more Old School.... My favourites are Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, and Peter Davison.

    Definitely Christopher Eccleston. :-)

    The first Doctor I remember is Pertwee, but I really grew up with Baker and Davison. I was never a Who fan at the time, but we used to watch it sometimes as I ate my ham sandwiches on a Saturday night in England LOL

    mom9198 - so you're the one :P I didn't mind him... I just think it's a shame we never really got to know him... curiously, a lot of fans would love to see VIII and IX make an appearance during the 50th Anniversary (including myself) but the last I heard there were no plans for them to come back...

    I was kind of bummed that Eccleston only did one season - he could have done so much more. :)

    I totally agree... he made for an interesting doctor - quite different from X and XI. Did you know that Eccleston announced his departure from the show right after his first episode aired? Bummer LOL

    My Uncle made me watch Doctor Who with him when I was a little girl. That was Tom Baker but I don't really remember it well.
    I started watching it with my husband on Netflix last Fall. I had no idea what it was about or what was coming. I was horrified when 9 regenerated after only one season. I had to take a break before watching again. After a few epsisodes David Tennant grew on me. Now he is my favorite. He is the perfect blend of 9's seriousness and 11's silliness. He also does not remind me of anyone like 9 & 11 do. Christopher Eccelston reminds me of a smaller Chef Robert Irvine and Matt Smith reminds me of Blaine from Glee with a Lyle Lovett pompadour.

    :laugh: Never thought of that combination. I just thought he was a goofy child.

    LOL loril13... I see what you mean about Eccleston... and I totally agree with you there :)

    As for XI, I can't say I know the character from Glee, so I don't have any comparison there...

    David Tennant reminds me a LOT of a friend I used to have... he even looks a bit like him... alas, he used to irritate me sometimes LOL I don't mind Tennant, but I'd rather watch XI. I can see how XI can be annoying though.

    Matt Smith doesn't annoy me. I just never connected with him as The Doctor. The show also seemed to turn into more of a nighttime soap with his doctor. There was just sometyhnig about season six that rubbed me wrong.

    Eh, I still love it. I'm even creating new Whovians of friends I met on MFP.

    X was the lover, wasn't he? I'm a girl, he was always be the Doctor that I hope appears in his Tardis to whisk me away.

    But XI is actually more fun! He's grown on me so much that I think when he regenerates I might just cry more than I did when X regenerated.

    Crikey Charlie!

    I guess the big question is... will XI cry more than X did when he regenerates??

    "I don't want to go..." *whimper*

    Ever see the out-takes of David Tennant saying that line? They filmed three... one with not much emotion, one where he blubbers and somewhere in-between... they used the middle one...
  • Definitely Christopher Eccleston. :-)

    I loved him!

    Baker... I love him... but if we are talking new Who. I love Eccleston and am still sad he only got one series. I loved Tennant but only because he had SO much energy... Smith is wonderfully awkward . Really I love them all but I think Baker is my favorite.

    This is really funny as Matt Smith and Darren Criss are my two celebrity loves! I adore Smith. He is my favorite Doctor, and just an awesome actor and person.

    So my favorites, in order: Smith, Tennant, Pertwee, Tom Baker, Eccleston. I also really love Paul McGann as the Doctor, but with his new garb that he never actually got to film in. I really want them to make a flashback of him fighting the Time War.

    I remember seeing a pic of Matt Smith before he started as the Doctor and thinking, 'oh no, another pretty one' but he's soooooo gangly and awkward, which is perfect. His first ever episode is one of my favourites of all time.

    I'd love to see something of the Time War... but then, you have to wonder... would you find it disappointing? I mean, it's like the Clone Wars in Star Wars... you heard whispers of it in the original trilogy and then... well... you found out it really wasn't that exciting after all LOL

    My first Doctor was Sylvester McCoy (who's now a friend of a friend of mine :-)) but my favourite is still X.

    Why?

    David Tennant spent his whole life dreaming of playing The Doctor and was a total Whovian so that came through in his performance. Heck! He's even gone and married the 5th Doctor's daughter to keep it all in the family... Do you think his step-son (her son) will be a Doctor down the line?

    Don't get me wrong, I'm really warming to XI but it's a job for him rather than an absolute passion.

    Anyone else excited by what they have planned for Clara?

    I'm a recently converted Whovian by a fellow MFP member. I just started Season 2 with David Tennant. But I still love Christopher Eccleston. I would say that he's my favorite. Maybe because he was my first Doctor.

    Lol Eccleston was my first too but still NOT my Doctor.

    I am trying to catch up on before the series starts up again, so watched Asylum of the Daleks last night. I cried. :( How sad is that?

    Eccleston was my first as well, but Tennant is my Doctor.

    Not sad at all crying. I was not happy at the end of that episode. We just got all caught up a couple of days ago. If you are not there yet, just have tissues at the ready.

    That was an awesome episode... like it a lot. Didn't like the other eps as much... or at least, not until The Angels Take Manhattan. I felt the other three could have been Star Trek episodes and no one would have noticed the difference LOL
