I haven't seen any of the other Doctors apart from Eccleston and Tennant but I prefer Eccleston by some way. Tennant is just an idiotic loon, whereas Eccleston was a lot better.

I'm a beginning Who fan, so the only Doctors I've seen so far are Tom Baker and Christopher Eccleston. If I had to choose between the two, of course I'll go with Tom, mostly because Pyramids of Mars happens to be my favorite Who serial. Though I must say, Eccleston is a pretty good Doctor as well.

I've seen Dr. Who on Sci-Fi channel. It's actually pretty good and I enjoyed watching it.

I actually got Scottish relatives to tape the first four episodes of this new series, and bring the tapes over to Australia...

Hey, how does anyone feel about obscure Doctors, like Peter Cushing or Richard E. Grant (the Shalka Doctor) or even Rowan Atkinson (The Curse of Fatal Death)? I haven't seen any of them, but just wanted to bring up the subject.

BTW, The Talons of Weng-Chiang is my new favorite Doctor Who serial.

Hmmm. In order: Tom Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Jon Pertwee, Peter Davison, Patrick Troughton and Colin Baker. I haven't seen a lot of Hartnell, and nothing of Paul McGann.
And, who can forget, the best The Master: Roger Delgado!

Richard E Grant and Rowan Atkinson were good. Peter Cushing was too "human". After all, he was just some dotty professor who knocked up the TARDIS in his own backyard, something I wish I could've done. I'm not saying he's BAD as the Doctor, just not the best.

"Talons" remains one of my firm favourites, but in the new series, the two stories done by Peter Moffat (who also wrote "Curse of Fatal Death") are the best IMNSHO. These are "The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances", and "The Girl in the Fireplace" (which I think should have kept the working title, "Every Tick of my Heart".)

Anyone seen "The Impossible Planet" yet? People are screaming about the fact that a plaent can, in theory, orbit a Black Hole without falling in. However, they fail to realise that normal Black Holes tend to get larger as they consume, and thus, their graviational pull increases. Not only that, but would a planet survive the supernova that creates a Black Hole anyway?

I liked the Manic Charm Eclestone brought to Dr Who, allways seeming to crack a smile even when things where at there Wildest and most gripping. I have to admit I don't remember any of the other doctors that came before him so on the others I really can't make a comment. And David Tennant I haven't seen yet appart from the mini movies from the bbc site. Apparently it Starts on the 7th of July in Australia I can't wait too exited. I will just have to have someself control and moderation by holding all my feelings in by watching the Eclestone season that I got for my birthday in the mean time. Too much exitment makes me hype-o..

July 7th! Lucky you! The season just ended on scifi, and I have to wait a half a year.

It is a really good show. It has something that most scifi series lack. I just can't put my finger on it... It's also a bit of a refreashment after Stargate, which can get so serious at times.
