Which one would you like to travel with?

Personal logo Saber6 Supporting Member of TMP Fezian14 Nov 2022 10:08 a.m. PST

Tricky question. All have thier benefits and drawbacks.

4th, 10th and 12th (Tom Baker, David Tenant and Peter Capaldi) would be my inital picks

Hal Thinglum Supporting Member of TMP14 Nov 2022 11:50 a.m. PST

There's only one Dr. Who, Dr. Tom Baker!

abelp0114 Nov 2022 12:24 p.m. PST

Tom Baker, of course!

Royston Papworth14 Nov 2022 12:34 p.m. PST

Pertwee or Baker…

DisasterWargamer Supporting Member of TMP14 Nov 2022 1:07 p.m. PST

Tom Baker hands down

epturner14 Nov 2022 2:10 p.m. PST

Tom Baker, for sure.

But I also really loved David Tennant as the Doctor.

Eric

Mollinary14 Nov 2022 2:17 p.m. PST

William Hartnell, first, best, unparalleled!

Jason O Mahony14 Nov 2022 2:19 p.m. PST

Tom Baker is the man.

After that Peter Capaldi and David Tenant.

#1) Catherine Tate. DoctorDonna all the way.

#2) David Tenant. Based on the concept that as Dr. Who, why couldn't he travel to the "alternate universes" in which David Tennant had a role. It's fare from the most outlandish thing the series has done…

#3) Peter Davidson. Best safety record. Not that he'd win any OSHA awards; it's a relative measure.

The H Man14 Nov 2022 3:00 p.m. PST

Rowan Atkinson, as I like sitting on sofas.

In the real world John Pertwee.

"There's only one Dr. Who, Dr. Tom Baker!" As he's the 4th that makes no sense.

It would be more appropriate to say Hartnell is the only one, as he was for a few years. Or Peter Cushing as he was in his universe.

Try saying it while watching brain of morbious. Or the five doctors.

Of course anything on TV after the 8th is just fan fiction.

The H Man14 Nov 2022 3:04 p.m. PST

"Best safety record"

Tell that to Adric.

That's probably the part up for grabs and all.

Modern tat not doctor, Martha over Donna. And for red heads Liz over Donna. Ha she's 3rd and all, I'm on a roll.

Eumelus Supporting Member of TMP14 Nov 2022 3:37 p.m. PST

Isn't the answer basically dependent on which companion's knickers you'd like to get into? I mean, who knows how long it is between materializations, the Doctor is distracted and Tegan's getting bored, and it is a cruise ship after all…

The H Man14 Nov 2022 3:52 p.m. PST

Tegan? Good luck Sir.

Personal logo piper909 Supporting Member of TMP14 Nov 2022 3:57 p.m. PST

Anyone that brings me close to Amy Pond…

or Clara.

The H Man14 Nov 2022 3:59 p.m. PST

I'd love to get close to Clara, but for other reasons.

Polly's probably your best bet.

Hey You14 Nov 2022 4:00 p.m. PST

I would first like to know the average life expectancy (ALE) of each companion for each Doctor. Then I would like to know the ALE for the various extras that were in the Doctor's mists. All things considered, I would probably be safer not being in his/hers/theirs general vicinity.

SpuriousMilius14 Nov 2022 4:00 p.m. PST

My pick is the Doctor who never was: I think that Zoe Wannamaker would have been great in the role.

The H Man14 Nov 2022 4:03 p.m. PST

Can I cruise with the Daleks? You know, Jo Grant and all?

Or is that, not all ;)

Deucey Supporting Member of TMP14 Nov 2022 6:59 p.m. PST

Favorite doesn't matter. Which one would you pick if you had to / got to travel in the Tardis.

Personal logo Parzival Supporting Member of TMP14 Nov 2022 7:47 p.m. PST

Does it really matter? Whatever the appearance, there literally is only one Doctor. Personalities differ marginally, but he's still the same strange dude.

Oh, alright. Matt Smith's portrayal. Because I like Matt Smith as an actor, and I liked his character.
And fezzes are cool.

The H Man14 Nov 2022 11:29 p.m. PST

If we aren't picking on favourite, what other criteria do we use?

There are several doctors.

TV classic, modern tat (either extension of classic or ignored), Cushing, parodies.

I assume TV classic and modern tat is the idea, though it's not stated.

Actually, going by the title they just want a series (Tv, Cushing, other) as he's not (usually) called Dr Who in the show.

DrSkull15 Nov 2022 4:54 a.m. PST

Pertwee, Venusian Kung Fu.

forrester15 Nov 2022 4:56 a.m. PST

Have a look at how many companions ended up back home where they started from and unscathed after their exciting adventures. Particularly post 2005 where some of them have some very strange destinies.
Enter that blue box at your peril!

Jon Pertwee scored three out of three for companions back on their contemporary Earth safe and without wiped memories-though strictly speaking Liz Shaw didn't actually travel. And you've got those jolly exciting UNIT stories as a bonus.

BillyNM15 Nov 2022 7:10 a.m. PST

It would have to Tom Baker if only for the chance to meet Leela.

Eumelus Supporting Member of TMP15 Nov 2022 9:19 a.m. PST

+1 Team Leela

Personal logo Flashman14 Supporting Member of TMP15 Nov 2022 1:17 p.m. PST

Only Baker has Jelly Babies which I am otherwise able to procure stateside at World Market – yum!

The H Man15 Nov 2022 3:43 p.m. PST

I hope your a fan of Janis Thorne.

'cause that's all you'll be getting.

Personal logo miniMo Supporting Member of TMP15 Nov 2022 5:20 p.m. PST

For most entertaining journeys:
4th Doctor

2nd choice, 2nd Doctor. I've picked up several of the resurrected story arcs, Troughton is quite good!

The H Man18 Nov 2022 2:45 p.m. PST

Interesting picks.

Out side of the modern tat, they are the two who would be bouncing off the walls. Sure to drive one (as) nuts after a short while.

"No, I don't want another bleeding jelly Baby!"

"Will you cut out that infernal racket and put the recorder away!"

And this only hours into the trip.

Entertaining to watch, yes, from a great distance.

JoLeCaliPout28 Dec 2022 10:30 a.m. PST

Either Sylvester or Jodie.
The most dangerous time would have been with The War Doctor, I expect.
