I started watching Dr who when the reboot was 3 seasons in, I think David Tennant was the greatest doctor. A few years later I finally got wife to give it a shot as I started a fresh rewatch in preparation for Matt Smith’s second season, she was ok with Eccelston and Tennant but Matt Smith is far and away her favorite doctor. Does this pattern hold true for any other Dr fans?
Started watching before Tom Baker’s Dr. Who, but it only clicked when he became the doctor for me.
Tom Baker. Then Peter Davison (Tristan!) celery on the lapel and all. Then Eccleson. Then Capaldi.
Me too - Jon Pertwee was my first (older siblings) but Tom Baker was the one when I reached the right age I think
