The scary thing is, I did hear it in David Tennant's voice. Well, his real name is David McDonald. If you're wondering about that, many actors go under stage names due to the way the actor's union, Equity, works there.

I have to say that my favourite Doctor (a controversial choice), on consideration, was Sylvester McCoy (aka Percy James Patrick Kent-Smith), especially during his last two seasons as the Doctor. He combined whimsy with darkness in just the right measures.

Then, David Tennant. He really brought life to the role of the Doctor. After that, Tom Baker, and then, Patrick Troughton.

BTW, pop quiz: which other Doctor Who actor (that I haven't mentioned yet) works under a pseudonym? Hint: He changed it partly because it sounded like the name of a director he worked with on the show he was famous for before Doctor Who.

Peter Davison
Bingo. Peter Davison, aka Peter Moffett. He changed it because there was a director called Peter Moffatt who directed Davison on All Creatures Great and Small, as well as Davison's Doctor Who adventures The Visitation, Mawdryn Undead, and The Five Doctors.

Favorite Dr Who

That is tough. Dr Who was one of my favorite shows as a little kid - despite it being several years out of date as it took that long for the CBC to show it. (Canadian Brodcasting Corporation)

My traditional favorite is Jon Pertwee - because he was my first.
I too have a soft spot for Partick Troughton though - it's the penny whistle and the haircut - oh and Jamie - I loved that accent.

I have a soft spot for Christopher Eccleston as he is linked to the resurection of Dr Who (so to speak) - as for that drecky drivel about the 8th Dr - well, they should have known better than to let the Yanks in on it.

1. David Tennant
2. Tom Baker (a VERY close 2nd)
3. Christopher Eccleston

I'm afraid I only watched the first two episodes of Matt Smith - just to give him a chance. I quite liked Amy Pond but Matt Smith left me completely cold.

I was just so gutted about him not being David Tennant I think.

Totally agee...

I was in hospital once for a week last year... I asked my 23 yr old daughter to bring me in something to read. When she came in empty handed I asked where the reading matter was. She rolled her eyes and picked up my phone. "Mum! Please! Now I am blue toothing some stories to your phone for you. Enjoy!" :laugh: Later when she had gone I opened the stories in my phone.... They were fan fiction from a Dr Who site. All of them with David Tennant in them. I almost choked on my stewed rhubarb! They were all verbal porn of what every Dr Who fan would do with Mr. Tennant if THEY had him to themselves in a tardis. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Bloody daughter!

Thing was.. I was hooked up to a heart monitor that reported to the nurses station .... nurses popped their head in to check why my little beepy things were "elevated"..... "No! I'm fine! Everythings fine here! Must be the rhubard repeating on me. :laugh: "

:rolleyes: What an imagination! :laugh:

Davison's my least favourite doctor - very weak indeed, although I've liked him in most of his other work and managed to get over the vet typecasting easily enough. Some of the concepts during his tenure as the Doc were v. good though (his first one with the dodgy adaptation to his regeneration that had the people living in a realisation of one of Esher's mazes to (not) name one - forgotten as usual! :rolleyes: ), but then the writing's never been a problem with the series :laugh:
