Because of my being an Army brat, I didn’t always have access to Dr. Who growing up, so there are gaps. I was introduced to the books first, having bought a stack of them on a trip to London when I was a kid. Most of them were Tom Baker & Pertwee era stories, plus a couple of Troughton.
So Tom Baker is my #1, followed by Pertwee. I’ve had only spotty exposure to the prior doctors, but I did really enjoy what Troughton I’ve seen.
Beyond that? Colin and Davidson are almost unseen. I’ve seen most of the modern stuff, but for some reason, my DVR decided to stop recording Dr. Who partway through the Capaldi run, and I haven’t seen ANY of the woman currently in the role. I couldn’t convince the machine even by canceling and reprogramming it that I REALLY wanted to watch the show.
However, when the DVR died in late 2020, the replacement understood, and just in time! There was a big marathon of the more recent stuff, so I’m catching up on Capaldi’s run and the next actor’s run is fast approaching,
I have to say that there have been some things that the newer stuff has done really well. The Weeping Angels were brilliant. The romance of Rory and Amy was well done. The Water of Mars and

I learned nerd for this.
I remember it being on public tv when I was a kid late at night. It was the strangest thing I'd seen. I still can't get into some of the older ones. I signed up for a 7 day free trial of Brit Box. They have a lot of the classic Who. There are place holders for some they don't have. I know many episodes were lost. I know I'm not going to get through many of them in 7 days, especially when I'm also watching Titans.
I think I was about 12 when I saw my first couple of early episodes- not a whole season- and that first movie. But I had read the books 3-4 years prior, and didn’t realize they were related. They weren’t the ones I knew from the books.
I didn’t see my first whole seasons until a couple years and a move later, and that’s when I made the connection to the books- the actors were depicted on the covers, and I was finally seeing the stuff I had first seen in London.
But after that came college in a different city where it wasn’t aired, and the episodes I got to see on break were different actors again (Colin, Davidson). Then law school took me to yet another Dr. Who desert. By the time I got out and returned home, it wasn’t airing there anymore, either, except for the occasional marathon of a dozen older episodes or so. So I got to see a LOT of the Pertwee & Tom Baker episodes more than once.

I heard someone say he has started drinking a shot of olive oil daily for it's health benefits. Can we think of any reasons why this is a bad idea? It just sounds wrong. And since the guy is a dumbass to the nth degree I would hesitate to believe anything he says is a good idea.

My Doctor Who experience is limited to a few random older episodes and some of the David Tenant run, as well as some of the Sarah Jane Chronicles, or whatever that one was called.
