Lines: 23 Summary: <> I have seen all of the Baker, Davison, and Pertwee episodes shown on our local station, KTEH, and I can't just quietly sit back and take the comments about Davison. His stories were some of the best of the three doctors I have seen, and while he took a little getting used to at first (Baker was my first "real" doctor), I found his episodes to be enjoyable. In his episodes, the other characters often took a more important role than in many of the Baker and Pertwee where the doctor was always the central focus (ex. Tegan in "Snakedance"). This more "ensemble" type show was a little different, but to me anyway, very enjoyable. I also found that the companions were not always fantastic, but their comings and goings played well in the stories, so that Adric's last episode was well done (in my opinion), etc. To my thinking, if the show is enjoyable, and ALL of the doctors have been that way for me, then it has succeeded. --- Larry Laskowski.
