I haven't seen enough old Doctor Who to judge, but when I was growing up, I watched the Tom Baker series on PBS sometimes. So he would by default have to be my old favorite.

My new favorite is David Tennant. Christopher Eccleston is also good.

I do think David Tennant is rather cute!

I like the new one, but didn't they just kill him off?

Other than that, my favorite is the curly-haired, google eyed one, probably what Steph said, in her first comment.

Tom BAker added a lot to the character, I loved the way he was always pulling random junk out of his pockets. Christopher Eccleston was quite good as well, but I haven't seen the newest yet, I ca't wait for Sci-fi channel to start airing the new season

"I like the new one, but didn't they just kill him off?"

Christopher Eccleston, the most recent Doctor for US audience, left after one season since he didn't want to be pigeon-holed. His replacement, David Tennant, has dreamed of playing the Doctor since he was a child, so he's probably going to be staying in the role for a long time.

Although introduced to the series during Tom Baker's tenure (and he was a favorite) my personal favorite is the old guy in the black and white episodes, which I'm guessing was either Hartnell or Troughton.

I'm certainly glad to be getting the new episodes via the SciFi channel. Thanks.
there is a moment pretty early on in Tom Bakers run where he sticks a huge old eight inch floppy into a drive the props guys must have gimmicked. Not only does it no stay in but it shoots this bat sized thing clear across the room (set).

The bug eyed look of amazement by Baker locked it up for me.. I miss him.,

I love them all in their own way! I used to be a die hard fan of Tom Baker, until I met him at a convention years ago. In fact I've met quite a few of the doctors and I must say that Colin Baker was one of the nicest. I really like the new doctor David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston was great, I was sorry to see him go so soon! Oh, I'm just glad to have the doctor back again! I sure missed him!

David Tennant is my favorite so far followed by Christopher Eccleston. Did not like Baker at all - so watched very few of him. Loved it when the local PBC would show an old one with John Pertwee in them. But I like the new series much better than the original. Liked Paul McGann in the TV Movie. And the new series did give us the great spin off Torchwood - Capt. Jack is a different kind of hero.

I used to think that nobody could top Tom Baker - until David Tennant! Christopher Eccleston brought the doctor back from the dead, but David Tennant gave him life. He is BRILLIANT!

And I have seen almost all of them, from Hartnell through Davidson. Have most of it on tape, but Netflix has almost everything available.

Tom Baker is my all time favorite and David Tennant is a close second.
