December 29th, 2014 - 9:57pmFor me it is a close competition between Jon Pertwee and Christopher Eccleston, but Jon Pertwee just wins for me. My third favourite is Patrick Troughton.

December 29th, 2014 - 6:34pmTom Baker. The best of the best. Without a doubt. My earliest memory of watching Dr Who was the Green Death with Jon Pertwee.

December 29th, 2014 - 5:38pmThat’s the problem with the “your favourite XXX” type of polls: I actually adore the Sixth Doctor, but he’s not *my favourite* Doctor. Now if I named my five favourite Doctors, Six would feature in the list: Nine, Four, Two, Six, and either Eight or Seven.

December 29th, 2014 - 4:40pmJon Pertwee, best performance, best actor and the stories in his era are the best. My second would be Patrick Troughton and my third would be David Tennant.

December 29th, 2014 - 4:06pmThis is the toughest vote yet… I was torn between four different Doctors, these being my reasons:
Jon Pertwee – The incarnation to introduce me to Classic Who, this Doctor’s personality was just great. I loved his relationship with UNIT, his love for gadgets and science-y stuff and his enthusiastic yet strict traits.
David Tennant – Despite Eccleston being my first Doctor, Tennant is just ‘My’ Doctor. He made me love the show even more and he had some fantastic stories (Particularly Series 4, and a good amount of episodes ranging from Series 2-3). I was sadenned by his departure announcement back in 2008/9.
Matt Smith – This man has to be one of the most brilliant actors I have ever seen. Took me a few episodes to like his incarnation though. Recently I’ve been looking back on to his era: the episodes, companions, merchandise… And I’ve realised how much I missed it. Memorable mentions to Series 5 and 7.
Peter Capaldi – One of the very few Doctors which I liked right away. After Deep Breath had finished I remember saying to my friends that Capaldi is already in my top 5 Doctors… As the series progressed he was amazing, and featured in some of the best episodes of all Who, including my all-time favourite, ‘Mummy on the Orient Express’.
Eventually, I struggled very much… But I narrowly chose Capaldi over those 4. 🙂

December 29th, 2014 - 3:31pmFrom the classic series I loved Tom Baker’s Doctor and from the new series I’ve enjoyed Peter Capaldi’s portrayal the best!
DOCTOR WHO ONE
December 29th, 2014 - 3:27pmYes, there is actually 14 Doctors officially.
John Hurt is the real 9th Doctor, making Christopher Eccleston the real 10th Doctor.
David Tennant is the real 11th and 12th Doctors. His 11th incarnation lasted between ‘The Parting of the Ways’ up to ‘The Stolen Earth’. His 12th incarnation lasted from ‘Journey’s End’ to ‘The End of Time’, this does NOT include his Meta-Crisis incarnation who is seperate. It may also have been the 12th Doctor seen with John Hurt and Matt Smith’s Doctor’s as well when you hear him say “Regeneration, it’s a Lottery”.
Matt Smith was the 13th and final incarnation of the original 13 Doctors, so Peter Capaldi is really the 14th Doctor, the first of a new generation of Doctors thanks to a new life cycle of regenerations –
DOCTOR WHO – THE NEXT GENERATION 😀

December 29th, 2014 - 3:02pmDavid Tennant has to be my favourite personally, but I also have really enjoyed John Hurt’s darker Doctor and Jon Pertwee’s Doctor with all his gagets too.

December 29th, 2014 - 2:19pmDavid Tennant, of course!!! He’s a classically trained Shakespearean actor, and IMO, is the most talented actor ever!!! I do like Christopher Eccleston and Peter Capaldi; but David Tennant’s portrayal of the Doctor never fails to amaze me with his brilliant acting talent; and he will forever remain my favorite!!!
