I'm pretty sick of him as doctor. But it's really quite impossible to say which doctor is the best. Each one has particular good points and bad. It's also hard (for me anyway) to separate the doctor from the general quality of the scripts at the time. I think there are a lot of low quality Baker scripts out there, and the Davisons are overall much better. Pertwee has his ups and downs, but there aren't so many downs if you don't mind the Unit days. So I cannot choose my favorite, but my least favorite is Tom Baker. I haven't seen enough Hartnells, Troughtons, or Colin Bakers to have an opinion on them, but I will probably like each one best as his episodes are shown. I really like the changes the show goes through as new doctors appear. One last word in favor of Davison: he is clearly a bettor actor than Tom Baker; Baker always acts the same (on Dr. Who), and Davison is able to have more different emotions and behave more different ways.
