I think it's fitting that anagrams of Amy Pond are MAD PONY and DOPY MAN, sort of sums up the new series so far :)

Looking ahead to the next one, how about Michael Caine or Morgan Freeman.

Maybe they've already picked Alex Kingston!

I agree with Richard Bridge. The earlier incarnations of Dr. Who were level-headed, thoughtful, relying on brains rather than brawn (read military might) to solve problems.
They were ethicists of sorts given to reflective yet creative solutions.

The new Doctor has too many temper tantrums to suit me. (Needs a diaper change?)

Karen Gillan suggests to me a Scottish Valley Girl.

I think that Billie Piper and Catherine Tate added dimensions to their roles.

Have to say though that my fave was Lalla Ward.

I like Karen Gillan. I remember her as a schoolgirl in "Rebus".

I was never convinced that Billie Piper was acting.

Bring back Katy Manning (and the dalek).

And whatever happened tom Susan? (last seen sneaking into Bob and Thelma's room in "Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads" thinking Terry was there)

I think Rowan Atkinson would make a better Doctor than the current lad.

which one was the early curly headed guy in the 70's?. Those were my favourite ones for sure.

That is all!

Tom Baker and Christopher Eccleston were my favorites although David Tenant grew on me as the writing improved. When I think of Doctor Who, I do think of Tom Baker first.

I think that Dr. Who is a good model for a new kind of hero, not one wed to solving problems with weapons or military excesses but one who thinks creatively, with compassion, a sense of proportion and a willingness to share a highly-developed brain for public good. I like it that he doesn't use guns.

Yes, and he has the advantage of living in a complete fantasy world which behaves however the writers see fit of course.

The new guy doesn't do it for me, though he has his moments. Tom Baker was always "my doctor," though I liked a few of the others. Then David Tennant came along, and I was incredibly impressed. I still miss him.

I like Amy Pond very much, and feel that she carries the show right now.

Well, Matt Smith has grown on me as the Doctor, although still not in the same league as David Tennant and Tom Baker (or even, to my mind, Jon Pertwee) but I'm not so keen on Amy Pond. The last few assisstants had something about them which I don't think she does. She seems to be there mostly as eye-candy. Actually, she reminds me somewhat of Joe Grant. But I still think it's the best show on TV.

I like his antique police box ... I wish I had one ... I think it is really cool .. now if it came equipped with a time machine also ... I figure I could do some pretty good things for the world ...

Not to mention I would have a pretty good guitar collection also :-)
