Who is YOUR doctor?

[Flyboy]

Everybody has their doctor... There's 10 to choose from afterall. It's not really about which Doctor you think is the best, nor is it the one you saw first... (I have vague memory's of Tom Baker in Revenge of the Cybermen and an ever vaguer memory of Jon Pertwee on Skaro...) it's the doc you sort of grew up with and recognise as the doctor above most others. For my parents it was Patrick Troughton... For me, I'd say Paul McGann, I saw that film when it was brand new, and I thought he was a perfect doctor. He fitted my scheme of the doctor (which Troughton, Davidson, Colin Baker and McCoy didnt, which is strange as I'd never seen Hartnell... so it was a combination of Pertwee and Tom Baker.. hmm), in any case. I digress.

My point is, which Doctor did you grow up with? New Who fans will have to say Eccleston really... unless they got into Who at series 2/28... but for me, definitley Paul McGann. He's my Doctor, and I recognise him over all others.

For me it was a combination of the 4th to 7th Doctors as I watched them as UK Gold, which wasnt the most reliable for playing them in order. Hartnell and Troughton I've caught wherever I can, and JP I have managd to watch on UK Gold now that they actually play his era. But out of all of them, I assosiate Tom Baker with the Doctor more than any other, possibly because it was him that I watched the most.

Me? 10...cos I've only just got into Dr Who

#4 is my doctor, always will be.

[in circles]

I watched the tv movie when it was on and the odd repeat but it has to be doc 9 for me.

I grew up with numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4. I think number 2, Patrick Troughton, will always be my Doctor, although John Pertwee (number 3) is a close second.

#2 for me. Such a funny character

#4 and 5. Tom Baker because he was the one I grew up with and Peter Davidson because his are the stories I remember the best

[yaaayoubetcha]

Most definately #4, Tom Baker.

He's my fave, the longest lasting and for me, the most memorable.

Troughton was such a wonderful Doctor. It's a shame most of his episodes don't exist anymore. Pertwee was one of those men who just stepped right into the character without needing any lead in time. That amazed me about him. Tom Baker, well, he was the Doctor I first watched growing up, so I have a bit of a fondness for him...

Heh. 7th. I didn't exactly grow up with him, my childhood was kinda between the old and new series. But my parents had 4th through 7th on tape...all of it. And 7th in Battlefield was the first one they showed us kids. I will always remember it! ^_^

[Reefgirl]

I think my daughter's will be 9 and 10, she surprised the hell out of me yesterday when she said she wanted to watch it with me and then insisted we watch the 9th Doctor on DVD (We only got as far as the first ep tho) It's such a shame I have to work next week, this is mother and daughter bonding at it's best. Now if only I can get her to watch Stargate

Now if only I can get her to watch Stargate

One small step at a time....^_^ I just got my roommate to watch Atlantis and some of Doctor Who, but she's still resisting much more than that.

Well, the first memory I have of Dr Who was Jon Pertwee. It was his final series as the Doctor, and he regenerated into 'my' Doctor, No. 4 - Tom Baker.
