Welcome to the Doctor Who Thread for all things relating to our favorite time traveler.

I got introduced to Doctor Who by the pinball game of the same name and then my first Doctor I watched was Tom Baker followed by Sylvester McCoy and so on. I still have some of the old classic Doctor Who on VHS's . My favorite actors who played the Doctor are:
1: Peter Capaldi.
2: David Tennent.
3: Sylvester McCoy.
4: Tom Baker.

I remember Doctor Who from when the original series was on back in the 70s. That was during Tom Baker's run. For the longest time, he is who I always thought of as The Doctor.

My favorite Doctor has to be David Tennant though. He brought such passion and empathy to the role, that I felt he was a real person. I still remember "I don't want to go." sad.gif And of course Allons y!

I loved Peter Capaldi as the Doctor. But unfortunately the writing in his era is not what it was in previous times.

I really liked big ears Christopher Eccleston. I wish they had given him more than one season. He was fantastic in the Dalek episode.

Strange as this may sound, I am a big fan of Paul McGann as the Doctor too. I have never seen the movie he starred in. I only saw him in a little short that came with the 50th Anniversary disc, where he dies and the War Doctor is born. But I have always been a big fan of his in other things. His voice is incredible.


Oh, and Bad Wolf!

I watched the first two Doctors in black and white back in the 1960's and remember when he regenerated from b/w into colour at the start of the third (Bill Pertwee). Almost as if that changeover was part of the story.

That was also when they had the star of the entire franchise - Bessie!

I haven't seen any Jon Pertwee episodes other then the Peter Davison The Five Doctors special, I heard he was a Doctor of action.

Trivia: Did you know Jon Pertwee was married to Jean Marsh aka Queen Bavmorda from Willow.

Right, Bill was his cousin and acted in Dad's Army. I always mix those up.

And Peter Davison was married to Trillian from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. (Sandra Dickinson)

I am a William Hartnell man myself. He defined the role. He brought the quirk we came to love and expect of every doctor to the role. Ok, he went senile at the end, but even that fit the role to a degree. In his era also fell the struggle of the series to find itself, to decide if it wanted to be an educational program for children (teaching about history and all that) or more of an adventure programme.

I also really like Tom Baker because he really made the best of a difficult time for the show - when watching the episodes of his time you can really tell how much budget cuts had affected the show. That's why so much of it suddenly took place on Earth, in our time.

I also have a place in my heart for Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee, they each brought something of their own to the role.

The modern ones I think are okay in their own right, but I have a hard time thinking of this new show as the same show as the original. The pacing is orders of magnitude faster and in my opinion this ends up sacrificing too much of Doctor Who - but that's just my two cents.

Only thing I don't understand (or maybe I do all to well) is why they decided to make the Doctor female now. Regenerating from one body to another is typical for Time Lords but to change sex? Sure the Master turned female but he could also have stolen Missy's body as he's known to do, the Doctor on the other hand...I have an idea on why the BBC is doing this and well....To quote Marlon Brando in Superman "I shall remain silent...".

New Doctor Who Trailer.

Okay I'm a little intrigued to see how this new female Doctor is going to be. I'll watch the first episode and see if the rest is worth watching.

I am looking forward to it too. Jodie Whittaker is a good actress. I liked her in Broadchurch. It looks like her Doctor might be more upbeat and happy than many of the others. But then most of them start out that way, and it get more doomy and gloomy as they constantly see the people they care about die all around them.

I am more excited to see a change in showrunners. The writing in the Steve Moffat era was rather subpar. That eventually made me stop watching, even though I thought Peter Capaldi was a great Doctor. So I will give the new season a try.

New intro.

I don't like the music I feel like it doesn't fit. I think this theme would have worked better especially with intro animation.

I really wish this politics in entertainment comes to an end someday.
