All Doctors ranked
All Doctors ranked
I like these types of lists because there's always a recency bias. The 7th Doctor was ranked the best in the 90s but now he's viewed much less favorably. I hated the 12th at first and now he's one of my favorites.
Anyway here's Wonderwall
Best - 4th I mean obviously who else could it be?
10th/14th Yes I am combining them
3rd Criminally underrated
12th I absolutely love how 12 is more of a scientist
11th For his first two seasons at least
9th My first Doctor
5th I like the celery bit
1st Bitter old man, it works
15th Too soon to call it but so far so good
2nd Almost as good as the 1st
13th I think Jodie did the best she could with the horrendous writing she was given
7th No strong feelings on him
6th Other than his jacket I remember nothing about him
Worst - 8th That movie was hot garbage I'm not sorry, I don't count his cameos

I’m still working my way through Classic. Of what I’ve seen:
- Worst: Eccleston. I liked him a lot, but we just got too little of him.
- Hartnell: There were aspects I liked and his epics were super cool, but he’s just too far from the character and spends half his run being a dick.
- Capaldi: His highs were some of the best of the show, but I found some of his episodes tedious, and his grouchy persona felt like s chore to get through.
- Gatwa: I like him a lot so far, and expect him to move up as he goes.
- Whittaker: I really liked her charisma. Definitely the most optimistic Doctor I’ve seen so far (though Gatwa is catching up.)
- Troughton: He jumps from Hartnell’s grandpa character to a goofy alien and nails it.
- Tenant: No surprise here, he defined the modern era.
- Best: Matt Smith: Feels truly alien, great mixture of funny and serious, and I love his timey wimey plots. Plus, bowties are cool.
Imagine posting to a who forum and not only leaving Baker out of list of best Doctors, but not having him at the top. This has to be the funniest thing I've read in a week.
Did you miss my first line? I’m only on Season 6 of Classic. I’ve heard good things about Baker, but I don’t have enough info to rate him yet.
There are two Bakers, Tom (4, with the long scarf) and Colin (6, with the multicolor dreamcoat).
Tom is a fan favorite. He holds the record for most episodes & seasons as the Doctor, though they were only half an hour then, and NuWho has muddied the definition of seasons with all the specials.
Colin has a more mixed reception. The show’s management was a bit of a mess when he was on the air, and his character was written as brash. His Doctor’s reception has improved with later audio stories.
For old timers like myself, Tom Baker was our first Doctor. He's the bar by which all others are judged by us.
Oh i'm about to get downright hilarious:
Four was my first, and i don't like him.
