Jon Pertwee looks like Nick Lowe

 

Tom Baker, hands-down.

 

I had been a Tom Baker fan, but looking back, the episodes are just not as re-watchable as the newer ones, so I've moved to Matt Smith.

 

Who may have been around only 50 years, but he's been busy. Popping up everywhere. Or so I've heard.

Here...



There...



...and Everywhere.



Even at Gort HQ...

 

If you'd asked me in the eighties, Tom Baker. Now it's David Tennant. He's been the best actor on the show IMO and has had some of the best stories.

 

all of them ! but they guy in my pic is pretty cool

 

This ^

 

Tom Baker, but every once in a while I saw a rerun of a Pertwee era show and loved them when they did

 

and man did he look pretty ill.

 

Great picture!

 

I'm seeing a shades of "The Castles Of Dr Creep" and "Lode Runner's Rescue" in that game.

 

Tom Baker, but I've only watched his episodes.

 

After seeing The Night of the Doctor, I wish I'd seen more of Paul McGann playing Doctor Who. He could potentially have been one of the greats.

 

Anyone watch the special 50th year episode tonight? It was a nice surprise to see a former Doctor show up in a cameo...

 

yea I Just came back from the cinema here in Australia ! very good indeed ! they even gave everybody a pack of Dr who cards ! won't say anything else in case people have not seen it yet!

Yeah, slightly surprised there isn't more discussion about this*. Watched it with my 11 year old son. We both loved it. My son kept saying "this is amazing, don't delete this whatever you do", which was nice as he didn't really watch much of the last series.
I'd need to watch it again, but I was impressed that it wasn't overly sentimental or overly CGI'd like some of the big stories. I think they got a really nice balance between the elements of the story and it wasn't over the top, which isn't always the case. Good job BBC,(and I'm glad I watched the prequel with Paul McGann and would recommend it before watching The Day of The Doctor).

Baker - but I always thought Pertwee had some of the best stories.

 

As a kid I was glued to the screen when Tom Baker was The Doctor. As a rule I was terrified by the endings when (in hindsight) rubber-suited monsters blundered their way through carboard sets....
I like the madness of Christopher Eccleston (who gets very little credits or airtime these days and wasn't present at the little ''reunion'', what's going on there?). Some of the best writing and inventions (the kids with the gasmasks, the weeping angels) were during the come-back season, I think.

 

For me, back in the day it was Tom Baker. However, he has been surpassed by both Chris Eccleston and David Tennant in the modern era.

I'm not a fan of Matt Smith, and look forward to seeing what Peter Capaldi brings to the table.

I'm only a casual Doctor Who fan, if that makes any difference.

 

Not a Dr. Who fan. That being said, back in the '80s, I always had to set up our VCR to tape Dr. Who for my sister. During this time, they always showed the Tom Baker episodes. Watched a few, but didn't 'get' it.

Whenever I think of Dr. Who, I always think of Tom Baker.
