Ok, that was cool, didn't know they had done those. I always thought I was a bit of a weirdo for liking Davidson's Doctor.

Not a weirdo. Davison's Doctor was my favorite before Tennant too.

I wasn't a big fan of Davidson until I had the chance to see all the available episodes pre-Baker. Then watching his schizophrenic regeneration made a lot more sense. He had all his previous incarnation impressions pretty much dead on. Had a lot more respect for him afterwards. But I'm weird. I also really liked Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy. They were brilliant in their own rights as well. The writing and production had just become so shitty at that point that I don't think anyone could've saved the show from cancellation. Colin got the worst of it. At least McCoy's run had some moments of brilliance in the scripts, most notably The Curse of Fenric. (I'm a computer nerd so I might be biased there) |

As a 'merican, Tom Baker was always 'the' Doctor when I was a kid (though I hated Adric with a passion). Having seen more on DVD now, First Doctor is probably my favorite (until Eleventh, that is). I like that he's almost the villain.

Be fair, Adric was only in a couple of Bakers run.
And then Davidson killed him.

Ooo, I missed that. I never saw the Baker stuff contiguously, I was a kid back when kids didn't sit home watching tv. Lots of repeats and I'd maybe catch half an episode most of the time.

Davison didn't kill him, he got all noble and went down with the ship. And there was much rejoicing. Easily one of the most annoying, loathsome Who companions ever. You know which companion people hate that I think could have worked well, though--almost did work--was Turlough. Spiky, brittle, sarcastic character wrestling with whether to betray the Doctor, that's potentially interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing the contemporary Doctor pick up a more damaged, flawed person in whom the Doctor sees some potential. Burnt-out ex-soldier, alcoholic scientist who thinks he's a failure but who has always actually been on the verge of some major discovery, that sort of thing. |

I'm all a tingle waiting for Ironwood's comment!
That said, I did wonder about this - Is it possible to make the Daleks more hateful? I believe the answer is "yes, just show them this commercial".

Donna was my favourite companion. Her lack of attraction for the Doctor was a welcome change after the previous companions. She deserved a better fate.

been watching season 4(?), the series with Donna *sigh* she was awesome. Amy Pond is a step backwards in my humble opinion.
