Doctor Who

I started watching while Matt Smith was the current Doctor. However, I watched starting with the 9th Doctor and watched the seasons in order. Tenant’s 10th Doctor is and forever will be my favorite though.

That all said, it’s been a while since I actually watched any of Doctor Who. Watched into early Capaldi and then kinda fell off.

Holds for me. Started with 9, still stan 9.

Nah, started with Eccleston, Jodie Whittaker is my favourite by far.

Started with Tom Baker and yeah, he's my favorite. Tennant is a close second though.

I'm worse: Whichever Doctor I watched most recently is likely to be my current favorite, if asked.

I love all the Nu-Who Doctors for different reasons. The fact that there are so many takes on the same character is just fun.

Stated while Smith was in his last season, I'm a tenant girly through and through.

He did an interview show where he got up and told everyone that everything was gonna be okay, and even with his natural brogue it felt like the doctor saying it. The man was born to play the doctor

Started with Tennant, dropped the show at the end of Smith's run from the burnout, then came back ten years later only to realize Capaldi's my favourite.

I think the break had a lot to do with me reevaluating the show in general though, my tastes have changed.

Whenever I use a cordless electric screwdriver I hum 11's tune.

This is like choosing a favorite child, I love them all. I did start with Eccleston and followed the new series from there. For me 10 is still my favorite, with 12 close behind. Haven't watched 13 yet but starting on Jodies series now to catch up for the 60th anniversary.

No. Although I love the Fourth Doctor, it's the Eighth Doctor that I've enjoyed the most (in books and audios of course).

I wonder if there's a difference between younger and older fans? Younger fans, who've only seen the rebooted show, seem to have an affection for "their" first Doctor.

If I'm honest, these days I find myself thinking about the Doctor as THE Doctor rather than get caught up with any one incarnation. I tend to like particular adventures rather than particular personalities. Some adventures have been great, others less so. I tend to prefer classic Who to the reboot and like stories told over a number of episodes rather than "done-in-ones".

I started watching with 11, but my favourite is 12. 7 and 3 come closely behind. And Big Finish 6. You know what? I love nearly all of them with a few exceptions.

As a child that was the case for me, Tennant was what really captivated 12 year-old me back in the day. But now I have kinda gravitated toward a few.

2, 6 (in Big Finish), 7, 8 and 10 are my favourites out of all of them.

Nah, started with Eccleston, but Tennant is the best Doctor.

Nope. 4 was my first, faves are 12, 2 & 5. Hubs first was 9, but 10 is his Doctor.

Nope. Started with Eccelston but Capaldi is my favourite.

Started with classic Who as a kid -- but that was a long time ago, so I can't really be certain which Doctor was my first. Tom Baker will always be my favorite classic Dr, but honestly, Matt Smith has probably replaced him as my all-time favorite. I particularly enjoyed the dynamics between Smith, Karen Gillian (as Amy) and Arthur Darvill (as Rory) and the various long-running plots that came from their seasons.

I also greatly enjoy stumbling upon a former Dr Who actor/actress in a non-Dr Who role, like Tennent showing up as Barty Crouch Jr in Harry Potter or Gillian as Nebula in Guardians. That kind of thing always makes me smile broadly.

I started from the beginning when they ran reruns prior to New Who. My favourite is Pertwee, then Tennant. Does not apply.

Started with Tennant and I like them all and so my SO share the same sentiment. We both think that Eccelston was a good choice for first rebooted series and he could roll into at least 1 more season. We both think that Tennant took the lead perfectly and bring show to the masses. We also agree that Smith was a good follow up paired with Moffat crazy ideas, and that Capaldi had his tenure most of the time hijacked by Clara due to trends that started to appear in the media. We both weren't that much interested Chibnall series because show changed too much, while Whittaker's 13th tried to be like Tennnant's 10th. That completely didn't fit this more dark and down to earth theatrical-big screen-streaming style of DW. We had nothing against female Doctor - we didn't liked the producer who clearly works better around drama series.

This does apply to me. Eccleston was my first and always will be my fav, can't beat the leather jacket. I should give the newer docs a chance, didn't make it through smiths run. And watch classic who too at some point!

I think my main initial intro was Baker as a kid, but overall Peter Davidson, especially from old Who.

New Who centric, Capaldi 1000% it's a damn shame he got jerked around through all the transitioning and couldn't get good writing to save his life. Same with Jodie, I think she'd make a killer doctor actually but the writing's just been total garbo. Even the most extreme lib "we should all be loud all the time" type people I know were just like "JFC we get it SHUT UP ALREADY AND BE A TV SHOW" lmao

Your theory kiiiiinda works for me. I started watching Classic Who, and the actor I started with is my favourite - Tom Baker.

I've been watching Nu Who from the beginning, and my favourite out of those actors is Peter Capaldi.
