My first Doctor was Tom Baker.  I started watching the show in about
1980 and for a couple of years all we saw was Tom Baker new or re-run
shows.  When we heard through the 'grapevine' that he was going to
regenerate and be replaced we were horrified.  We couldn't believe that
he would be replaced so soon (for us anyway).  Fortunately, they replayed
all his old shows and that made me feel better.

It wasn't until about 2 years ago that I got to see the older Pertwee
shows.  I wasn't too impressed although I wasn't disappointed.  We have
now had a chance to see them twice and I found that I liked him a lot 
better the second time I saw his shows.  I haven't seen any of the
Hartnell or Troughten shows but I now fell that Pertwee is second only
to Tom Baker for me and not by that much.  Maybe some of his shows were
a little hokey but some of the moments were really touching.  I almost
cried when Jo Grant left.  I think Pertwee showed more feeling for her
that Tom Baker did for any of his companions when they left.

I didn't care much for Peter Davison as the Doctor, although I like him
as an actor.  He just never seemed to show enough of a serious nature
even when the scene seemed to call for it.  I hope that some day, we
here in Chicago (a big Dr. Who market) will get to see some of the
older series as well.  Anyone know for sure?
