    Yeah I've seen a few. I watched 'Doctor Who and the Daleks' which was an ok film and some others on Daily motion. It's a shame really. Living today, I'm so used to such amazing special effects and computer animations, then I see a cyberman who looks like he's made out of tinfoil I can't fully appreciate it
    You need to overlook that! Some of the monsters are laugh worthy, but the storylines are good! You should watch some episodes with Jon Pertwee.


    I find it annoying that people say they are doctor who fans but have only watched the last 3 doctors.

    I've also watched Ecclestone and Tom Baker and I'm just about to watch Davison to see what he's like

    Also your poll misses out the 8th Doctor.
    I love Peter Davison, the episodes with Adric are especially good in my opinion!

    Also about the poll, it was intentional!

    I think we should have a poll for the companions as well

    David Tennant, he's much better looking and he played the role really well

    Oh it's the Adric ones I've been watching, I really like him. I've ordered the E-Space trilogy from Amazon so I can fin out how he joins the Doctor (although I have a rough idea). I think Adric and Tom Baker's Doctor have a really entertaining back-and-forth going on, it always makes me laugh

    And Baker has just regenerated so I'll be watching a Davison-Adric one this evening

    (Original post by lyrical_lie)
    I'll always prefer David Tennant, but I have enjoyed Matt Smith too. I've watched all episodes of both of them. I may have skipped a few Martha ones however because she annoyed me so much.
    Same here, she was such a pest. I got so sick of her pining over the Doctor and the unrequited love.

    I think we're overdue a main male companion, watching the females fancying the Doctor is getting a bit old, which is one of the reasons I liked the Donna episodes so much.

    To be honest I think Captain Jack would make a good companion

    Matt Smith wasn't great to begin with - he felt too much like Tennant, but now he's got his own character and it's working well imo.

    A few (really) good Peter Davison episodes are : Earthshock
    Planet Of Fire
    Resurrection Of The Daleks
    Four To Doomsday
    Caves Of Androzani
    The Five Doctors

    I like his first ever one as well!

    ...I like Martha.

    Very true, there's always an exception!

    Just pop this in spoilers for those who may not have seen the end of series four with DT and Donna...
    Spoiler:

    I'd quite like to see the Tenth, and possibly Rose, come back from their parallel universe for a two-parter. A well written episode with two Doctors would be brilliant!

    David Tennent by far. I haven´t heard anything from Doctor Who in ages, so much that I forgot it even exists.
