At the moment, for me it’s Heaven Sent, by a country mile….

@ddoherty95

@janetteB @winston and @JimTheFish have pretty much summed it up. Every actor has brought something different to the role and that fact, along with the vision of successive show runners and writers,  is how the show has managed to survive for so long – because it has evolved and expanded in scop0e.  There can be no universal ‘best’ D…[Read more]

Pretty much what everyone has said above. It’s impossible to have a BEST doctor because they’re all so very different and fulfilled different roles in the show’s history. You could argue Hartnell because he was the first. Or Troughton because his is the template from which the Doctor as we know him now essentially springs. Or Tom…[Read more]

Three answers:

1. Peter Cushing (the satirical response)

2. Everything that @janetteb and @winston said. Because they are right.

3. For me…it will always be William Hartnell, because I was 12 years old when I saw him in the very first episode, “An Unearthly Child”, in 1964 (it was Australia, so we ran a bit behind the BBC) and…[Read more]

@ddoherty95   Best at what though?   Each Doctor has his own style that works for him. The 9th is tortured by what he did to Gallifrey and is guilty, sad and angry at the same time.He believes himself to be the last of his kind after destroying all the rest and  this gives him a disregard for his own safety that maybe makes him seem bravest. He s…[Read more]

@ddoherty95 They are all the best. Each actor of AG Who (otherwise known as “nu who”) has brought something different to the role, has different strengths and should be appreciated for what they have achieved. I don’t ever feel the need to compare and say one is better than the other. We are currently re watching some Ecclestone Doctor episodes…[Read more]

“Splendid chaps, all of them.” 😀

@ddoherty95:

I thought that too, until in one episode I believe the President of Gallifrey admitted that they planted the drums in his head so they could find him…or somesuch

@missy  and @ddoherty95   The matter of a favourite Doctor is always so hard for me. I really like the one I am watching at the time. Watching the 12th is a wild ride that is sometimes fun but also dark and sad at times. While watching him being cranky and sarcastic I think,  “I love this Doctor” and at the time he is my fave. But the other day…[Read more]

@ddoherty95;

Ah, but when he returned the drums had gone.

Missy never heard them. or if she did, no one mentioned it.

@ddoherty95;

Peter Capaldi.

For me he was the most human, whilst trying not to be.

The most compasionate.

Grumpy to hide his true feelings.

The loss of his home, showing so clearly on his very expressive face.

Complex, in a way that the others weren’t.

Funny, in a different way to the others.

He made me feel that the Doctor was a real…[Read more]
