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?
Mine is Sylvester McCoy, and he wasn’t the first Doctor I saw, but he was the Doctor when the show sort of ‘clicked’ for me and I got properly into it if that makes sense.
