Who is your favorite Doctor?

Personally my exposure to the show limited me to numbers 4,5, 9,and 10.
Of these no.4 (Tom Baker) was by far my favorite no contest. So far I would rate no.10 as my second favorite I am really enjoying the new shows (well, new in the US anyways).

I'd vote for Tenant the crazy spaz (aka Doctor 10).

My rankings of all the Doctors:

1) Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston)
2) Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker)
3) Tenth Doctor (David Tennant)
4) Eighth Doctor (Paul Mcgann)
5) Second Doctor (Patrick Troughton)
6) Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee)
7) Fifth Doctor (Peter Davidson)
8) Seventh Doctor (Sylvester McCoy)
9) Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker)
10) First Doctor (William Hartnell)

Here's my rankings:

1. 9th Doctor (Christopher Eccleston)
2. 3rd Doctor (Jon Pertwee)
3. 8th Doctor (Paul McGann)
4. 10th Doctor (David Tennant)
5. 5th Doctor (Peter Davidson)
6. 4th Doctor (Tom Baker)
7. 6th Doctor (Colin Baker)
8. 7th Doctor (Sylvester McCoy)
9. 2nd Doctor (Patrick Troughton)
10. 1st Doctor (William Hartnell)

Besides TV and the Movie, this takes the Big Finish audio dramas into account; Paul McGann would have been a bit lower and Colin Baker would have been at the bottom otherwise. But both are excellent Doctors in audio plays.

I think my choices generally run from the most "professional" to the least. If I need the world saved, I'd trust in Eccleston and Pertwee to do it rather than bumbling McCoy and Troughton, or doddering and irritable Hartnell.

I'd have to say either Eccleston or Tennant, depending on my mood. I've never been able to take most of the older Doctors that seriously (though the bulk of my experience is limited to Baker, in all honesty).

About the same for me, though I have to say I really enjoy Baker. But something about the two 'new' guys just works really well for me.

Probably because the Ninth and the Tenth have a tragic history to them, being the last of the Time Lords and all. It gives their characters real pathos and depth. Traits which the writers mine vigorously in the new series.

No question. While the latest Doctors have done well, Baker is by far the most popular and in my mind most charasmatic of all the Doctors done so far. Tennent and Eccelson have given the Doctor wider range, and thus to me, grafted themselves into the top 3. But without question, Tom Baker is the best Doctor of all times.

It's like asking who the best Bond is. We all know while the latest ones are good, Connery remains the best.

Can't agree with you - we recently picked up the "Doctor Who: The Beginning" DVD set, which has the first three storylines. I really enjoyed them and found Hartnell to be a consistently interesting character.
