And the show dies(Blame John Nathan Turner)! The first 4 Doctors were all great but Tom Baker is the best ever. He was the complete package and I think more people could relate to him. And yes, I'm a knowledgeable Who fan that has seen them all and their best stories. NO ONE touches Tom Baker in that role! His image, his characteristics, his sarcastic adlibs, his facial expressions. He was born to play the role and will always be THE definitive Doctor.
@kamwrites, well if that's the case you must not have seen much of the Tom Baker era or Jon Pertwee era for that matter. Like I said. I've seen 'em all and no one touches Tom Baker and most knowledgeable, informed fans of the show agree with me. If Davison is your favorite...you don't know "WHO"...obviously. Just being honest, my friend.
@MetalheadJay78 I've been a fan of Who for over 20 years. I've seen all the Doctors, way before this new series. Peter Davison remains my favorite. Allow me my opinion, please.
@kamwrites, I've been a "Who" fan for over 25 years and know many other knowledgeable fans like myself. I don't think I've ever heard one of them say that Davison was their favorite. It's just hard to understand him being your favorite when Tom Baker is there with his definitive portrayal in the role and all his wonderful stories(which are widely regarded as the best too) I'm just saying that it seems to make little sense to me, that's all.
@kamwrites, I do as well. But it can't be just a coincidence that Tom Baker is the most beloved Doctor of all-time, ya know. There is certainly good reason for that. Wouldn't you think? Just do me a favor. Watch more "Who" from the Tom Baker and Jon Pertwee era's and THEN come back here and tell me what you think. I've seen all Classic Who up to Sylvester McCoy. So my opinions are based on having seen the entire classic era.
@MetalheadJay78 Yes, yes, I've seen them all too, I've already said that. But I'm sorry, have I at any point said anything contrary to what you've said? Why are you trying to convince me to your point of view? Davison's been my favorite since the 80's. I'm not changing that to satisfy you. ;) It really shouldn't matter to you one way or the other.
@kamwrites, I'm not trying to change you just trying my hardest to understand how you can like Davison over Pertwee and especially Tom Baker. Again if you've seen ALL of Classic Who, this makes little sense. Mostly everyone knows that Tom Baker was infinitely better than Davison in that role. After all which Doctor has Pop Culture singled out and parodied the most? Yeah...that's what I thought. Davison can be your fave but Tom Baker was the best and definitive. He's my fave and many reasons why
@MetalheadJay78 There is nothing to understand. My initial statement was that Baker may be the definitive Doctor, but Davison is my favorite. That's the end of the story, and unless you actually come up with something different to say, it should be the end of this conversation. In the meantime, do some roaming on You Tube. It may surprise you that many fans have great affection for the other Doctors...and consider these others their favorites.
@kamwrites, well I've clearly explained as to why most consider Baker to be the best. It's quite obvious and apparent to me which is why it's hard to comprehend how someone can pick Davison as their favorite. I have roamed "Youtube" and there are very few vids dedicated to other Doctors especially compared to Baker. The ratio would probably be 90/10 in favor of Baker. So I AM surprised when others prefer another Doctor as opposed to Baker. They haven't seen much of him OBVIOUSLY.
@DoctaWhoFan101 Yea I agree Peter Davison is my personal favorite Doctor as well (But all of them are brilliant in there own way) and hes a very underrated Doctor IMO and his finale story The Caves of Androzani is my favorite Dr who story of all time.
P.S. I think David Tennat has said that Peter Davison is his favorite Doctor as well.

This is a very similar situation to what MAtt Smith will find himself in, a younger Doctor coming in after a very popular actor has left the show!!!
