I'm surprised that Paul is at the bottom. Have you ever listened to the Big Finish audios? They really boosted his Doctor in my opinion.

Honestly I enjoy the movie because of how cheesy it is.

I love the movie! It was one of the first classic stories I watched and I fell for it. Watching now I can see a few issues with the story, but I love Daphne Ashbrook and Eric Roberts wasn't a bad Master (The Master really came out in his performance when he got into his robes in my opinion!). 

But most importantly, it showed that the 8th Doctor lived up to the character and was brilliant in his own right all in 70 minutes (since he wasn't in the first 20!)

I agree that Eric Roberts was a great master and far better than John Simm. However there are issues with it, and it was one of the last classics I got (I only got it when the blu-Ray came out). Paul and Daphne were both outstanding in the film.

I'm going to have to divide it into New/Old Who.  I'm going to list them with my preferred companions as well where relevant, as I might like Doctor X with A but not with B if that makes any sense!

New:

1. Smith/Tennant - Love them both equally

3. Eccleston (Very under rated in my opinion - he was in it for such a short time and was followed by great performances so it's easy to forget him)

4. Capaldi

5. Hurt (Nothing wrong with his performance, but it was so short in comparison it's hard to compare him to the others)

 

Old

1. McCoy - Love him with Ace

2. Baker, T - most of my favourite episodes were with Sarah Jane, but she only just pips Leela.

3. Baker, C with Peri

4. Davidson with Peri

5. Pertwee

6. McGann (sorry Dalek!)

7/8. Troughton/Hartnell

It's hard to judge when actors are only in it for such a short time like Hurt and when they have rubbish stories like McGann.  Troughton and Harnell mostly passed me by as I was never really that interested in watching the really old stuff.  I think I mostly remember McCoy so he really sticks out in my mind, above the others.  However it's been a long time since I've seen the old ones so I might change the order if I watched it again.

When it comes to the companions the best ones are those who aren't interested in the Doctor romantically (sorry Rose and Martha) and who have strong characters who aren't overwhelmed by his personality.

Wow, interesting to see Tom so low! That's not something that you see very often. :D

I am not a fan of ranking doctors. Me it’s more story to story. The doctor is the doctor no matter who is playing him (or her, not sure what gender terms to use now)

I agree that the character is always that character and all of them are great, I just think that they have have their own traits and personalities which makes it interesting to compare each iteration of the character. Fair enough if you don't like doing it though. :D

I love each and every doctor and don’t think there has been a single actor that was anything less than perfect. Each doctor is great for their own reasons. However this is just the ones I enjoy watching the most ( keep in mind that even my number 13 choice is still 10/10)

1)Patrick Troughton

2)David Tennant

3)Jon Pertwee

4)Tom Baker 

5)Paul McGann

6)Sylvester McCoy

7)Colin Baker

8)Christopher Ecclestone

9)Peter Capaldi

10)Matt Smith

11)William Hartnell

12)Peter Davison 

13)John Hurt
