Who's The Best Doctor?

[woodwardiocom]

Among the classic seven Doctors, it's certainly possible for any one of them to be your favorite. But if it's not Tom Baker, I won't pretend to understand your choice...

Since I've only seen a very limited number of episodes for 1-3, 6 and 7, I'm really not sure I could venture an honest opinion.

I do have a very slight preference for Peter Davidson over Tom Baker, but only because he was my first Doctor.

I'm also fond of Davison, but he suffers from his companions being an awfully whiny bunch.

(Of course, Baker had Sarah Jane, K-9, Leela, and Romana, and that's a very tough act to follow!)

All that, and more.

I was fortunate that my first viewing of Dr Who was Tom Baker/Sarah Jane and so that's who I've measured every Doctor and companion against ever since. Leela was better (imo) in part because I have a thing for companions that kick ass.

Wait, so in the Doctor Who world, the Doctor can only be male, but the Companion can equally well be a human female... or a little robotic dog?

(I hadn’t realized that K-9 was supposed to be a Companion.)

The Doctor has had at least two robot companions (K-9 MkII might count as a separate companion, and Rory might count as a robot), a couple aliens, and maybe a dozen male companions.
