Greetings! This is my first post on Lemmy and excited to see a DW sub already exists.

TL;DR - recently hit a second wind with Classic Who and really want to finish it before New who’s return in November

I’ve been a fan of new who since I was around 10 or so. Started off with Tennant and worked my way through 11 and ended up at 12th first season which just finished airing at the time. It fell out of my interest for many years only to be picked up again during flux. Not flux itself, it only reminded me how much I miss 9-12. During a rewatch it really got me thinking about classic who. Soon after I started watching that too! Started with Tom baker then jumped from timelord to timelord. Eventually I got burned out of classic who and put it on the shelve for awhile. With hype building for doctor 14 & 15 it got me thinking of the classic series again and how much I want to finish it before November. I’ve kept track of my watch progress with this excel document

Would love to hear who your favorite doctor is from either new or classic who

Tom is by far my favorite classic doctor. His portrayal is very unpredictable which kept me interested for most of his run with leela also being one of my favorite companions. I’ve also taken an unexplainable liking to Peter Davison which is a complete 180 from Tom’s betrayal. If you ever find yourself wanting to rewatch it I’d highly recommend watching a story a day or even just an episode a day. I did this when I first picked up the show and actually became a part of my day I looked forward to.
