[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8179758, member: 19675"] 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.

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 [/QUOTE]
