Alright Whovians...two questions

[Docreed2003]

Who is your favorite Doctor?

Who would you like to see as the 13th Doctor?

My favorite is the Tenth.

I'd like to see Richard Ayoade or Olivia Coleman. Also, I wouldn't mind Kris Marshall, who has been rumored for the role.

[pkdu]

1. Tom Baker - not even close....and

he is still doing voice-overs


Here is an out-take from one for furniture that is pants-wettingly funny.

NSFW

[Docreed2003]

2. Tom Baker is awesome...

Thanks for the video...hilarious!

[Archae]

3. Agree 100%!

I even met Tom Baker, briefly, at a Milwaukee Whoovian convention back in the early 1980's.

[get the red out]

4. Good memories

I would watch him as The Doctor in reruns on PBS when I got home from school as a kid. I have loved The Doctor ever since!

[shenmue]

10. Me too!

[First Speaker]

8. Well, I'd *like* Benedict Cumberbatch...

...but he ain't gonna be it. Diana Rigg might be an interesting choice, if they wanted a mature doctor. Roger Allam--Fred Thursday on "Endeavour"--would also be a neat choice. Derek Jacobi would probably be best of all.

[pressbox69]

12. I seem to remember

Derek Jacobi playing The Master in an episode.

[Docreed2003]

15. Correct....

Jacobi played the Master in the Season 3 episode "Utopia"

[TDale313]

28. Yes. Although of the new Who Doctors, I do love David Tennant,

And can't help feel we didn't get quite enough time with Capaldi (maybe I'll feel a little less that way after this coming season)

They have all been very good in their own ways. I don't have real strong feelings about who should be the next Doctor. I think a female Doctor could be very interesting. I'll be open to giving whoever gets cast a fair chance.

[Cadfael]

46. I vote Baker as well.

Nobody did it better.

[MuseRider]

5. I am very new to this

but I started watching toward the end of Matt Smith, Raggedy Man, and I adored him and the entire story with Amy Pond and Rory. So quirky. I also like David Tennant a lot and I like Peter Capaldi too. I did see some old episodes with Tom Baker and liked him just fine as well. I guess I am not terribly picky since I have not been watching for years and years.

I think it would be fun to see a woman in the role. I was not overly fond of Catherine Tate and I think she was one of the choices they were talking about. I just thought she was not right for some reason but then what do I know? LOL

I do so enjoy watching it though and John Barrowman is always fun to watch. I wish the Torchwood they tried here had lasted more than the few episodes they did.

[Docreed2003]

6. Never too new or too old!

Excellent point all around. I agree that a female Doctor could be an interesting shake up, especially with the right actress. Agree on Captain Jack as well. He was great in his appearances in the first season of the new Doctor series, and I've always enjoyed his followup appearances in the series as well. Torchwood had such potential, it's a shame it never really took off.

[MuseRider]

7. Torchwood was awesome!

I loved it. I have not watched the British version yet but I loved the shows they tried here. I adore John Barrowman anyway, really talented. Oh well, it is a shame.

My husband has been slow to appreciate the Doctor but I think he is coming around. He gave me a Tardis backpack last year and bought me a space heater that I swear looks so much like a Dalek that I cannot go into my closet without hearing "Exterminate" and laughing every time.

Dr. Who has just the right amount of wacky and campy to be such fun. Every time I watch it is just another romp through the Universe with the Time Lord of the time. How could you not just love the fun. Thank god for the BBC America channel.

[pkdu]

9. Yep - BBC America , worth the whole Cable Bill. nt

[MuseRider]

11. I SO agree! n/t

[pressbox69]

13. My favorite Doctor

was Tom Baker. I think he was the first Doctor here in the States, with Howard De Silva introducing the episodes. Hard to believe that series debuted on the B.B.C. the day after JFK was assassinated. All regular programs were preempted by news specials and updates for four days.

[TheMastersNemesis]

32. Baker Is Who I Started With. He Was The Longest Running Dr. His Record Will Stand.

[area51]

14. I like both Drs. 10 and 11 best.

Not sure who I'd like to see as the next Doctor.

[IrishEyes]

16. David Tennant.

I would love to see Richard Ayoade as the Doctor. He is great in pretty much everything I've seen him in. He would be great choice. I can imagine Olivia Coleman doing a wonderful job as well. You didn't ask but my favorite companion is Rory.

[Docreed2003]

21. David Tennant is one of those actors...

That I immediately feel a connection with. Like the good friend you could share a pint with and talk about what's going on in your life. Sounds cheesy....but that and the fact that my own personality is very much like the 10th doctor, he'll always be my fav! I too think Richard Ayoade could be amazing in the role, as could Oliva Coleman. Rose Tyler is my favorite companion though, with Sarah Jane and Rory as close 2a 2b

[scarletlib]

17. I love all the doctors.

My sentimental favorite is the 3rd Doctor--The "Dandy"Doctor played by John Pertwee. Loved all the episodes with U.N.I.T.

I really have no idea who should take over as the new Doctor. I'm sure I will be happy whoever it is.

[sakabatou]

18. 10 and 11 are my favorites

As for 13... I dunno. Maybe one day he WILL be a ginger.

[Docreed2003]

20. Kris Marshall would be a ginger doctor...

I've also seen rupert Grint's name mentioned

[LongTomH]

19. I started watching with Tom Baker, so I guess I can still say he's my favorite......

......but, I've loved all of them!!!!

Same goes with companions; Sarah Jane will always be my most beloved companion; but, I love them all.

[fNord]

22. Obviously Tom Baker in OTS....

But in NGT
It's Allways David Tennant

Those are Star Trek acronyms....don't know if that translates properly to British, but to hell with it, I'm a nerd on two continents.

Anyone for a cupa? With bourbon?

And as to the second question...... Stephen Fry

Best Doctor ever!!!


Can I get some love on that?!!?

[progressoid]

23. The Doctor?

How about favorite companion....

Billie Piper

[Docreed2003]

24. My absolute favorite!!

Rose "Bad Wolf" Tyler was amazing in her role and I still tear up seeing her on Bad Wolf Bay talking to the Doctor's hologram.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

25. My favorite is Tennant. With Eccleston a close 2nd.

His first lines to Rose were perfect.

The Doctor: I'm the Doctor, by the way. What's your name?
Rose: Rose.
The Doctor: Nice to meet you, Rose. (holds up the bomb, shaking it slightly while grinning.) Run for your life!

I do have a soft spot for Paul McGann, as he was the first one I ever saw. Loved the design of the inside of the Tardis, too.

As for 13th?

Hayley Atwell.

[Docreed2003]

36. I adore Hayley Atwell...

I think she would be magnificent in the role.

[pressbox69]

26. Has everyone seen this?

[Docreed2003]

37. That would be hilarious!

[Crunchy Frog]

27. Twelve, with Eleven a close runner up.

I'm not sufficiently familiar with British actors to say who I'd want for the next Doctor. I would like to see a woman get the role, though.

[annabanana]

29. I am the most fortunate Whovian on the Planet!

I saw a couple of episodes - DECADES ago. Time and life precluded my watching them like I would have liked.

So NOW, retired and at the ripe old age of 67. I have nearly the entire universe of Dr Who to enjoy and explore for the very first time.

It's like discovering a wonderful author with an enormous oeuvre that you never saw before. And now, with Amazon Prime, I can access episodes I wouldn't have been able to before the age of the internets..

[TheMastersNemesis]

30. I Have Virtually ALL The Episodes Shown In Denver On Disc Or Video Tape.

I could watch Dr. Who For months because I have a pretty complete library of tapes. I also meet Peter Davidson in person many years ago in Denver.

[fNord]

33. Oh how I envy you....

I'd love to watch them all again for the first time

I <3 <3 the Doctor

Welcome to the whovian family.

[pansypoo53219]

35. our PBS channel just wrapped up dr 3. pertwee. next week w/ be tom baker.

[Docreed2003]

38. My son is seven and over the past six months...

I've been introducing him to Dr Who thanks to Amazon Prime as well. It's been fun going back and rewatching the newer seasons. He loves the show and is the biggest Seven year old Whovian I know!

[TheMastersNemesis]

31. I Still Favor Tom Baker And Also Liked Tennant & Smith.

I really liked all the doctors because each brought a unique quality to the Doctor. The rejuvenation idea was pure genius and has served the program well. Not only is it the longest science fiction show it is probably the best. Many science fiction series have borrowed from Dr. Who.

It is great fantasy and escape in this terrible time. And the show has covered a lot of themes pertinent today. Mr. Trump is the kind of villain the doctor has faced throughout the series.

[Docreed2003]

42. Exactly...it certainly is pertinent

I refuse to be a Trump Cyberman!

[pansypoo53219]

34. i love the current one, but i love matt smith, tom baker AND the 2nd. we did not get enough of the

1st + 2nd. but i saw enough. or the 1st reboot, my uncle got me into it thru tom baker. he will only watch tom baker. pete davidson would be my 2nd fav.

[Docreed2003]

39. No love for the War Doctor???

I thought John Hurt was incredible in that role!

[fNord]

40. Ahhh....

One of the best specials ever....

R.I.P. Mr. Hurt

[Tikki]

41. I have no favorite Doctor...luv them all.

OK now...I wouldn't mind James Murray as the Doctor.



Tikki

[Bucky]

43. Horace

Wait no, that's Whovilliagers I'm thinking of

[Jose Garcia]

44. It would be interesting for there to be a non-British Doctor

[PufPuf23]

45. I tend to favor the Matt Smith / Karen Gillan years,

the 11th Doctor Who and Amy Pond.

But probably because I like Karen Gillan as Amy Pond.
