5th Doctor

[Easter Lily]

Well, I'm watching Peter Davison's turn as Dr Who on Australian telly at the moment and I'm really enjoying it. He's adorable and very sweet. Like Pertwee, he adds an emotional layer to his portrayal of the Doctor.

Just finished the Arc of Infinity story and wondered the whole time where Leela was...

So you beat creed462 to it.

Davison brought vulnerability and fallibility to his character. I always thought his character was short-changed in the writing aspect of his tenure...too many stories were under par, but I really enjoyed his character...and Nyssa and Turlough as well.

She was hiding in pure terror from Leonard Sachs' terrible acting.

I've always like the fifth doctor. He had some of my favorite traveling companions and his relationship with them was more a partnership than any of the others. I especially love the Turlough's first episodes, though the Black Guardian could have been better. Honestly, how scary can you be with feathers on your head?

Hehe, I had a big crush on Peter when he was the doctor, well it started when he was in All creatures great and small and just continued to the Doctor.

I liked his portrayal very youthful and heartfelt. When they did the Five Doctors I thought he was brillant, I thought that whole story was brilliant. Shame we will not see it here during these re-runs.

I loved the outfit the Celery sure it's cheesy but it's also fun. He continued with the hat wearing too.

Can someone tell me when he first incounters the Daleks (I haven't missed it have I?) Loved him with the Cybermen.

Although the Daleks appeared in The Five Doctors, Peter's Doctor didn't encounter them until Resurrection of the Daleks, Season 21. It's already been released on DVD.

I did give it a suitable waiting time before jumping in...

Leela and hiding in one sentence?! An oxymoron if I ever heard one. Maybe she killed him and was condemned to death...

He was kinda cute... one of the few men who could match her in er... stature...

He's one of my favourite doctors. Just a shame he had to put up with some less than great scripts and that outfit.

[Metarock Sam]

Did you know he was the first doctor to have the ? on his costume it was on his collars .
He was an ok Doctor but I just found him not as great as say Tom Baker or Sylvester McCoy. There was something missing but I think its just cos I think they portrayed him too youthfull. Turlough was great (Black Guardian Saga was the first set of episodes I saw in a group together after seeing Trial of a Timelord) but my fave companion is Chameleon because he can change appearance and bvoice how you want him to although its a shame he only appeard in 2 eps .

Tom Baker has the question marks on his collar in his later seasons. I wish they'd never introduced them into the costume. It looks stupid.

[Metarock Sam]

I think theyre great. Adds more mystery

Leonard Sachs played Borusa in Arc of Infinity.

Andred (played by Chris Tranchell) did a much better job, believe me.

JNT...great logistical producer and publicist...not so great costume designer, script commissioner, or acting coach...

Despite his flaws...still gotta love him.

Liked this Doctor think he suffered from having to many companions, one on one works for me (did he peak at four or five at one stage?)

Oh... okay... I thought you were referring to the fella she stayed behind for... Whose name escapes me at present...
