Tom Baker
Tom Baker will always be my favourite. Christopher Eccleston is a close second. Peter Davison will always be my least favourite. The rest move around a bit in the ranking.

I'd be curious to hear why Five is your least favorite; I've never actually read about a really negative reaciton towards Davieson before. In my (limited) observations it seems like if a person isn't a big fan of him they're pretty indifferent and he just falls somewhere into the middle.
 
Honestly, I cant put my finger on it. I don't know whether it's the character or the actor but the Fifth is my least favourite. Just one of those "feelings" I guess.

I think I'm in that middle. I don't dislike, but I don't like. I have some nostalgia kick in when I see him, but he just didn't click for me.

I dislike the Third, but am often treated like a heretic for saying that :lol:
 
As part of my policy of voting for someone different every time this poll comes up, I went for the eighth Doctor.
 
Troughton is my favorite, and that's not likely to change.

I love William Hartnell, Tom Baker, Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant.

Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Paul McGann are ok.

I can't stand Jon Pertwee or Sylvester McCoy.
 
My rankings vary a bit depending on who I've just seen (and whether they were on good form in that story!), but...

1) Troughton
2) Tom Baker
3-5) Hartnell, Davison, Eccleston (But Hartnell's ahead a bit now)
6) Tennant
7) McGann
8) Colin Baker
9/10) McCoy & Pertwee (Pertwee is currently a bit ahead).
 
I can't choose. For years, Tom Baker was The Doctor for me. Then Christopher Eccleston came along and blew me away in ways too varied to mention. Now Tennant has been doing a fabulous job as 10. Added to the mix is Jon Pertwee who I've been getting to know better since UK Gold showed his stories and I've been buying the dvds. So, one of those guys, then. (But probably 4 if I absolutely had to choose).

I'm the same, sometimes I think McCoy is very good, other times quite poor, similarly Tom is awful in some stories and it's so clear he can't be bothered.

Ahh, Sylvester McCoy. A really, really, really nice man, but as the Doctor... I think he's just getting it in season 26 (so he might have been superb in a fourth season), but his performance in most of season 24 and some of season 25 is dreadful. He's not awful, he was getting there, but someone's got to come last - and there's five Doctors who're in close competition for my top spot, and three more who I feel awful about putting outside the top half...

I hear ya. Baker was my first exposure to Doctor Who, in the 70's.....and while I enjoyed the show, I wasn't a fan......still he defined Doctor Who for me for a looooooooong time. Eccleston made me a FAN of Doctor Who. (I enjoy Tennet as well, but re-watching the entire run of nuWho recently reminded me of just how awesome Eccleston is and why it was HE who made me a fan of Doctor Who.)

Thanks to nuWho, I've been, over the last eight to ten months, been buying up classic Who like mad. And I'd have to say that Hartnell has become one of my all time fave's.
It's the original, and it's got it's own cool vibe.

Love Troughton, just wish more survived.

Pertwee....don't see what all the fuss is about, to me he's the most un-Doctor like. Still enjoy him though.

Davison....don't really have too many DVD's of him just yet. The Five Doctors, where he's overshadowed, Black Orchid an enjoyable, but short adventure and Castrovalva where he's all nutty from regenerating. Looking very much to seeing more of this Doctor.

Colin Baker....Outside of the shitty outfit, and "meh" stories, he's really not bad. Much to my surprise, my roomate, who has become a Who fan, (but doesn't really give a shit about sci-fi) like's Colin the best of the classic Who's.

McCoy.....I have a couple from him, and he's very intriguing because he's just so different in many ways to what I consider "Doctor material".....but unfortunately, all I have is "Survival" and "Ghostlight".

"Survival" is just awful and "Ghostlight" is just an incoherent mess. "Battlefield" just came out and I believe (more like hope) this is a good McCoy ep.
