I have to be honest and say Tom Baker is my favourite Dr but then he's the one I grew up with. My other half's favourite is Sylvester McCoy and he grew up with all of them because he's ancient..... Tom Baker is also great company in the pub - he can't half drink! He's completely insane! Jon Pertwee was as much a gentleman in life as he was on the screen. Have any of you read the Virgin Dr Who books? Absolutely superb (not for children), and portraying the Dr in a much darker light, particularly Sylvester McCoy's Dr. I remember one of the big events of my childhood was John Pertwee bringing the Whomobile to my school. As to the baddies - I always thought the Daleks were scary but the Cybermen even scarier. At least they could climb stairs which the Daleks didn't manage for a few years. However, Planet of the Spiders has given me a fear of spiders ever since. Bring back Dr Who, the BBC seems to be ashamed of it for some reason. Pushkin
