Who's your favourite doctor from the British sci-fi television series known as "Doctor Who". Mine's David Tennant mainly because the only other doctor I've watched is Christopher Eccleston, although I do hope to

eventually see all the Doctors so I can decide on my favourite depiction of the character with a fairer basis.

I can't decide between Tennant or Smith; I mean, they're both good, although Smith suffers from poorer scripts than Tennant, but I think Matt is the hottest of the two and i'd probably do him over Tennant given the chance...

Difficult decision, very difficult...

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Matt Smith's funny moments are better but Tennant is better overall and his funny moments are still pretty damn entertaining.

Because he was the only Doctor in "the Simpsons". No, but seriously I think he was one of the most iconic doctor's.

Between Sylvester and Matt for me, due to some of the storylines I've enjoyed I'll vote Smith, but its really damned close.

I have a feeling if Matt gets to a fourth series, by then, he'll be stand out in front for me, but for his two, I've been very impressed.

Don't say that over at the Doctor Who based fan boards.. it'll get bloody it will. Hehe.

To be fair, I do like the two Cushing movies, but there is some pretty vehement opposition to him be classified as a Doctor from some quarters.

..I wasn't aware that Cushing was disliked in the role..learn something new every day...
@ RatBot...If you want to check out the two Cushing films, they're called " Dr Who and the Daleks" and " Dalek Invasion Earth :2150 AD"..

Perhaps I will do this. I just picked up a 4-pack DVD of Hammer Horror films with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee and they're friggin' awesome.


Really, Peter Cushing could've played the Doctor in a commercial for "Dr. Who-Os Frosted Fruit Cereal" and he'd still be the best Doctor.

I base this on the fact that Peter Cushing is made of 100% pure win.

It's mainly because he's Human, and he invented the Tardis as noted in the first film.

Like I said, I don't have any issues, but you put him in a poll like this on certain boards and the poor thread will die a flaming death as a inferno of nerd rage rises.


On a side note, I really need to check if they've brought out the Hammer Horror collection on Blu ray yet. edit - sadly no, still waiting, after the improvement to Zulu, I'd love to see some of the Hammer classics in HD.

I may have that same DVD, four of the Cushing/Lee " Dracula" films?...Great stuff.
And ..personally I thought Cushing made a great Dr. Who...but of course...I'm an American with limited exposure to the overall genre.

Meh, I've watched two films ( as I enjoy B- Movies) and perhaps a dozen episodes back in the 80's...Dr. Who was never " my thing"...
Of course...I've never understood the appeal of Dr. Phil either...the man just seems devoid of even the slightest bit of testosterone ...of course..perhaps that is his appeal.

I chose David Tennant as he amused me when he guested on Mr. Fry's stellar show of interestingness and drollity.
