Here's the info asked for regarding the Doctors:

1) William Hartnell - First episode of Dr. Who broadcast
	23 November 1963.  Hartnell was the Doctor for 3
	seasons.  Left in 1966 due to ill health.

2) Patrick Troughton - Played the Doctor for 3 seasons.
	Left due to fear of being typecast.

3) Jon Pertwee - 5 seasons as the Doctor.  The death of
	Roger Delgado (the first Master) in a car crash in
	1973 was a major factor in Jon's decision to leave.

4) Tom Baker   - The record holder - 7 seasons.  Left to
	pursue other challenges as an actor.

5) Peter Davison - The youngest of the Doctors and the first
	to grow up as a fan of the Doctor.  Spent 3 seasons.

6) Colin Baker - will take over as the Doctor beginning with
	season 22.

which I highly recommend for all fans craving info on the Doctor.
