What can I say about Doctor Who? It has been one of my favorite programmes for ages and has been a vehicle towards meeting some of the kindest and most interesting people I could ever hope to meet. A short breakdown of the original show - It starred seven wonderful actors in the title role each of which played the mysterious Doctor with their own special twist. William Hartnell played him cranky old man, incredibly secretive about his past, and a paradox of self importance and genuine compassion. The Second Doctor, Patrick Troughon, was the classic cosmic hobo who was often scared of monsters, and used an air of stupidity and clumsiness to lull his enemies into a false security. Jon Pertwee played the earthbound gadget loving dandy version. The most popular Doctor was Tom Baker the strange, comedic, scarf wearing bohemian. Peter Davison played a very human, pained Doctor with bad taste in friends. Often seen as passive he actually was the one who was most likely to use a gun to solve problems. Colin Baker was the egotistical, schizo Doctor with a bad wardrobe. Finally Slyvester McCoy was the Scottish Doctor with a weird sense of humor and a dark streak always hiding behind his manipulative plans. After 26 years on television Doctor Who enjoys a large and well deserved following.
