Shame there are not 4 choices, I grew up in the Peter Davison, Colin Baker & Sylvester era, plus I got to meet Peter as a child who signed my annual, so kind of have to go for Peter & Sylv (was not all that keen on Colin) I did enjoy watching repeats though of Pertwee and Baker, Pertwee gets my nod just over Baker.

Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker and Colin Baker. Oft' repeated cliché but Colin Baker in the Big finish audio series has proven himself to be a great Doctor.

I see Jon and Tom are tied. Could that be due to most forum members starting to watch Doctor Who in the '70s?

What about Jodie Whittaker?
It's not even 'early days'. We haven't really seen her in any meaningful way yet. For me; Doctor Who ceased to be credible as soon as this PC-tampering reared its ugly head. Sadly, Doctor Who is now being used as a pawn in a game and I'm not willing to play that game. I have serious reservations about the new 'showrunner' and I for one won't be watching the new series. I suspect that I will not be alone in that respect. Sorry, but I am old-fashioned enough to think that if the Doctor was meant to be able to regenerate into a woman, then it would have happened a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago. They are just pandering to a very vocal minority, which is a shame.
For me, Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee and Baker T. will always be the best. Davison I can accept but I have little time for the others. And NO TIME for Jodie Whittaker!

It's simple. The Producers of Doctor Who from the start of the Pertwee to mid Tom Baker era, Sherrwin, Letts and Hinchcliffe, great directors, great script editors, two charismatic doctors, solid companions, memorable enemies. Always going to be the best. The show has never sustained those heights since on a frequent basis.
FordCapri: No time for Colin Baker's Doctor?

Always going to be the best. The show has never sustained those heights since on a frequent basis. FordCapri: No time for Colin Baker's Doctor? Ah, old 'sixy'. I think Colin Baker had great potential as the Doctor. He is a good actor and I think he genuinely hoped to give it his all. Sadly, he was let down from the start by bad scripts and, in particular, a bad costume. For me, most of his stuff is now unwatchable, not necessarily because of him, but because in every other respect, it is a complete mess. I'll admit that I liked 'The Twin Dilemma' episode 1 and 'Vengeance on Varos' episode 1. Also, I'll admit that 'Revelation of the Daleks' is pretty good in general. Other than that, I wouldn't rate any of his stories as even good. I feel sorry for him. He seems like a nice guy who was more or less used as a scapegoat by the BBC to explain the programme's dwindling viewing figures - when there were plenty of other things to blame. He was the sacrificial lamb, as it were. Colin Baker could have been really good as the Doctor but, as things turned out, he tried and failed (in the face of overwhelming odds and opposition). And here is a photo taken of myself and Colin in, I think, 2015. As I say, I like the guy, I rate him as an actor and I know he cares passionately about the programme - but for reasons many and varied, his particular Doctor is not one that I can watch with much pleasure! Sorry Colin!

Ta. Yes, it turned out well and dear old Colin was a good sport! The photo we are holding (and trying to re-enact) was a candid shot taken in 1991. I think it's fair to say that we have both changed somewhat during the intervening years! I now see that Colin signed it '2015'. If only!!!

Thanks! Brilliant! I will obviously take that as a compliment... as I'm sure would Colin!
Funnily enough, over the years I have been (visually) liked to:
Terry Wogan, Petrocelli, Kevin Spacey, Bob Hoskins.
oh and one or two other things that I can't mention here.
And now Edward Woodard.
Funny how no-one ever says I look like Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise or George Clooney. Oh well.
