Welcome John.
Good to see we now have a genuine southern Irishman, rather a pretend one who's actually from Reading.

Yeah, it stops with Peter Davison as far as I'm concerned!

That said, I do think David Tennant was a very good Doctor; sure it's a different sort of series now but he had a great balance of comic timing and time lord rage.
Tom Baker cannot be surpassed, however

If I had to choose I'd probably opt for Troughton, a wonderful actor, though I love all the first five. Baker © and Ecclescake are the only ones I actively disliked.

Hartnell.
Although I quite like Matt Smith. Tennant seemed to overact the angries a bit and looked too pouty when he was trying to be serious and ragey. Matt Smith was brilliant in the last few episodes

I wanted to hate Matt Smith. I thought he was funny looking and had too much head. TwoForeheadsMan. But I think he's played it brilliantly and I like him much better than Eccles and Popeye Tennant.
And he's right. Bow ties and fezzes are cool.
Welcome to the site John and Sam. Both added to the index.

I'm like you Keith, really didn't want to like Smith, but I feel he has played the part so well. I also preferred Eccleston to Tennant, but I thought they were both good. However, the person who cast Catherine Tate needs firing.

And the person who cast Karen Gillan needs more praising
