Out PBS station won't have the new series until next year. While I envy you getting the new series so soon, you're welcome to the Jon Pertwee series. For my money he was the worst Dr. Who. I have been watching Dr. Who since the first epsiode (which I can still remember) in November 1963. I still think the first Doctor (William Hartnell) was the best. I was home in England at Christmas and saw 2 episodes with Peter Davison. I thought he was quite good. With a little more experience in the role I think he will develop into a very good Doctor. His character draws heavily on 2 earlier Doctors: #2 Patrick Troughton and #4 Tom Baker. He draws especially on #2.
