In this special 1st anniversary article I will go through each Doctor from Hartnell to Capaldi even including John Hurts War Doctor in order of how much I enjoyed watching them and briefly discussing how much I liked them, discussing their good features as well as their bad. As usual these are just my opinions, feel free to post your top 14 Doctors. In case you get confused with all these Doctors and their numbers - check out the updated 'Who's who in Doctor Who' page here link. 14) Peter Davison - The fifth Doctor. I've never really liked him to be honest. His stories are a main factor but also I dislike how kind and un-alien and kind of wooden he is. And also he just incredibly dull in my opinion. On the plus side he is calm under pressure and handles things in a mature way (which is another thing I didn't really like about him). 13) William Hartnell - The first Doctor. Stony faced and sometimes incredibly unkind I find it hard to feel any kind of sympathy towards him. Despite this he still has an air of knowledge and kindness towards his companions. 12) John Hurt - The War Doctor. Since he is the 'War Doctor' it's likely that Moffat wanted to show him as Hostile, so I didn't really like him or I relate to him that much throughout the one episode. Maybe if we saw more of him he may grow on me... But again as I say he was meant to be a negative character played excellently by John Hurt. 11) Colin Baker - The sixth Doctor. Arrogant, loud and extremely rude, this Doctor just isn't for me. His Doctor was taken in the complete wrong direction (although if he's people's favourite some may say this was a blessing in disguise). But with no blame on Colin Baker who didn't really get any say in costume ect... 10) Christopher Eccleston - The ninth Doctor. I don't know why but I've never really enjoyed his Doctor. He just wasn't anything special more an amalgamation of previous Doctors, I especially hate his costume! He is still acted perfectly and the right guy to bring Doctor who in to the 21st Century. 9) Peter Capaldi - The 12th Doctor. Probably slightly unfair to include him on his list since we've only seen a few seconds of him but we've heard a lot about him being a "Dark Doctor" or a "Snarling Beast" so from this I'm not sure I'm going to like him as much as others. 8) Paul McGann - The 8th Doctor. I haven't listened to his audios so I've only seen him in the Movie and the more recent Night of the Doctor and in both of these I loved him, he seemed caring and incredibly alien - he reminded me a lot of Matt Smith in The Movie. If only we'd seen more of him... 7) Jon Pertwee - The 3rd Doctor. The dashing hero, he plays an exciting and active Doctor despite his age, one of his best qualities are he behaviour towards his companions as well as his relationship with The Master and the hilarious banter with the Second Doctor. 6) Tom Baker - The fourth Doctor. Already one of the most loved Doctors, he is funny, witty and incredibly likable especially during his early years. It would be a crime to put one of the most iconic Doctors lower than this, however I felt he began to loose some of this, especially when JNT took over. 5) David Tennant - The tenth Doctor.1 (The parting of the Ways - The stolen Earth). His love for everything alien is what I love most about him, as well as his ability to try and save everyone but with no second chances. David Tennant is brilliant at acting the 10th Doctor, I feel he doesn't really hide his emotions and expresses them but luckily he's mostly happy. 4) David Tennant - The tenth Doctor.2 (Journeys end - The end of time part 2). The 10th Doctor didn't really change in personality after regenerating just his wounds in The Stolen Earth so it's just the same as above. 3) Patrick Troughton - The second Doctor. A complete opposite to his previous incarnation he played the Doctor with excitement and goofiness, this is shown particularly with his companion Jamie who are the perfect Doctor-Companion combination so far. He also has an unbreakable love for travelling through time. Such a shame so many of his episodes are missing. 2) Sylvester McCoy - The seventh Doctor. A rocky start with what is sometimes called Doctor Who's worst season, he totally turns this around in his last two seasons playing a progressively darker Doctor but still retaining some of his goofiness which I love. I especially love his relationship with Ace which is quite odd in a way, forcing her to face her fears but this just showed how much he cared for her, making her a better person. 1) Matt Smith - The eleventh Doctor. Funny, adventurous and not afraid to be who he is. He is kind of like a mix of emotions, most of the time he's funny but sometimes he let's his anger show which is a good thing. Matt Smith also plays him as old despite being the youngest Doctors especially when he's alone. He is also one of the most alien Doctors and Matt it so great at being the Doctor, overcoming a lot of negativity when he first started. So as you can see I prefer Doctors that are fun or enjoy themselves and are not afraid to be who they are, on the other hand I don't really like the more darker or negative or loud Doctors, so I'm still very much on edge about whether I will like Capaldi...

I'm so happy Matt Smith is first! He is my favourite! I'm looking for ward to the new era. Will you be watching the first episode in the cinema?
