I only have three, so this choice wasn't that hard.
Eccleston
Tennant
Smith

Favourite Doctor
- Thread starter Starkers
- Start date
Eccleston's finished. Smith's going to do more, so (god forbid) he might mess up later rather than getting even better.
I'd rate Pertwee a lot higher if he'd only done season seven and never developed his 'patronising uncle' streak; similarly, even though I still put McCoy bottom, there's a world of difference between the buffoon of season 24 and the dark presence of Ghost Light. And I've got fan friends who love early Tom, but hate the goggle-eyed clown of his later seasons.
A Doctor ain't over till he's over. Fingers crossed, Matt Smith might move from bronze to gold..
i only voted for Ten, but Eleven would be #2 and... argh, i dunno who'd be 3rd... Pertwee? Pat? Sly? Paul?
I only voted for Colin.
You made the right decision!
Davison, McGann, and Eccleston, the three best-- and not coincidentally, I suspect, three who have achieved status as actors outside of their Who work. Hartnell, Troughton, Tennant, and Smith are all bubbling just beneath.
You voted for the wrong Baker ... C Baker = great! T Baker = he's just ok.Baker was my first Dr.Who so a vote for him.
I only just began (bought the dvds yesterday) NuWho with Eccleston, so he gets a vote too
Favorite: Jon Pertwee.
Runner-up: Richard Hurndall. (Yes, you read that right. )
Runner-up to the runner-up: Peter Davison.

T.Baker is just nostalgic for me. The scarf was grand in the early 80s
Troughton is doing so well because he was a great Doctor. What a shame so many of his episodes are gone forever. But I know I might just have to get comicon tickets for next year and dust off my award winning Troughton costume.
Quite right. But he often loses out in Top Doc polls because he's the second favourite Doctor for masses of people.
Definitely Tennant, followed by Eccleston. Can't even rank any of the others - well, Tom Baker might be third.
Well that was my thinking behind making people choose more than one, well not directly that Troughton would get loads of votes (though I suspected) but I thought we'd get a better spread. Given how little of his era remains it says an awful lot that he got so many votes though
Good point...now you've made me worry though, what if he goes rubbish!
That is a v good point about McCoy though.
Still Pertwee, and still by a considerable margin.
The more Troughton episodes I see, though, the more I wish more of those episodes still existed.
Davison is still my third favourite.
Then Hartnell, Smith and Eccleston, more or less level pegging.
I don't much care after that. Tom Baker featured in a number of my favourite serials but I never much cared for his interpretation of the role, particularly toward the end. Colin Baker had too much crap to work with and one telemovie wasn't enough to properly assess McGann.
McCoy was awful and Tennant was even worse. Both of them made Who unwatchable for me.

Silly me jumped in and just voted for Colin before noticing I had three votes. The other two would have gone to McGann and either Trout or Tom (probably Trout).
I think my full ranking at the moment goes:
Colin
McGann
Trout
Tom
McCoy
Smith
Pertwee
Hartnell
Tennant
Davison
Eccleston
As I say, Trout and Tom may sometimes switch places, as is the case with McCoy/Smith and Pertwee/Hartnell/Tennant.
