Ranking Doctor Who #2: The Doctors! 

Apologies about the intro guys, don't know how it messed up as it was fine before I uploaded it!

" if you do happen to disagree, I don't care." bloody legend. 😂😂

My favourite doctor is Patrick Troughton because he had the biggest job of making a regeneration working and I love him he's so clever but can play the fool which tricks them

My favourite Doctor is Tom Baker but sometimes William Hartnell's Doctor is also my favourite. I like the Dr to be eccentric, dotty and alien. The first 4 Doctors were born to play this part and I can't imagine anyone doing a better job. Colin Baker I think is very underrated.

I completely respect your opinion, but I’d argue that Ten’s arrogance is an interesting trait of the incarnation, rather than an unappealing one. I’d argue it was an appealing character flaw because it showed the doctor as imperfect, as fallible. In doing so, you have far more of a rounded character who makes mistakes and who can be wrong. This makes his victories, his arcs and his moral choices all the more fulfilling for audiences in my opinion

Well presented and well reasoned.

My wanking sorry ranking: 12: Colin Baker 11: Paul McGann 10: William Hartnell 9: Sylvester McCoy 8: Peter Davison 7: Peter Capaldi 6: Patrick Troughton 5: Jon Pertwee 4: Christopher Eccleston 3: David Tennant 2: Matt Smith 1: Tom Baker

My order: 13) John Hurt (8/10) 12) Christopher Ecclestone (8.5/10) 11) Colin Baker (8.6/10) 10) Peter Capaldi (8.8/10) 9) Matt Smith (9.2/10) 8) Sylvester McCoy (9.3/10) 7) Paul McGann (9.4/10) 6) Patrick Troughton (9.5/10) 5) William Hartnell (9.6/10) 4) John Pertwee (9.7/10) 3) Peter Davison (9.8/10) 2) David Tennant (9.9/10) 1) Tom Baker (10/10)

Me seeing my doctor, 10th at second last: oh😔

I don't really have a list (As i'm still getting through Classic Who), but so far Jon Pertwee is my personal favourite.

Sylvester McCoy, Colin Baker and Patrick Thoughton are my faves. Capaldi is my favorite from NuWho by far

Great video and thank you for not feeling obliged to love the tenth doctor like other doctor who fans do

Of course Tom is the best. To me, he's the definitive Doctor Who. Whenever I think of Doctor Who as a whole, he is the one who comes to my mind. He's like Sean Connery as James Bond, he's that iconic.

My Pics: 1. Peter Capaldi 2. Tom Baker 3. David Tennant 4. Matt Smith 5. John Pertwee 6. Christopher Eccleston 7. Patrick Troughton 8. Sylvester McCoy 9. Paul McGann 10. William Hartnell 11. Peter Davidson 12. John Hurt 13. Collin Baker 14. Jodie Whittaker

My list... 1. The doctor 2. The doctor 3. The doctor I do not have a favourite, or a least favourite, they are all special in their own way] Hartnell was the grumpy grandad but extremely warm and you always feel safe when he is around. Troughton was fun but could also trick any enemy and some of his stories are the best of the 60s. Pertwee was the stern father figure but a friend to all with everyone’s best interest at heart. Tom Baker was the wacky mad professor type who could entertain in a white room. Davison was the “human” doctor who was easily approachable and made the tardis always feel like a home. His heroism in Androzani was pure gold. Colin Baker was the clown but the one I would want to see if I walked into the Tardis and always confronted head on. Mccoy was the schemer who would have the enemy dead before they even met. I can not choose one.

Capaldi is my doctor.Tennant was a bit to arrogant on screen for me especially in series 4. Matt Smith was far too comedic and silly for a doctor and I could never take him seriously when he tried to be serious.

Jon Pertwee is my favourite Doctor. I love his costumes, his hair, his companions, UNIT, Venusian Aikido, Bessie, there's so much to like. Tom Baker is a very very close second. You're right; the guy IS an alien. I'd have to have a good think about where I'd put the rest, but I know I'd probably put Tennant in the bottom five along with Hartnell.

The Tenth Doctor also seems to have fallen from grace for me too. But I'm putting the Eight Doctor higher because the other media there is for him. He stands out as the one who has to constantly regain his identity and shows the most compassion for his companions without having to fall in love with them, but just that's just my opinion. I hope to God that McGann get's a second chance on TV.

Out of new who mine r 5.John Hurt 4.Peter Capaldi 3.Christopher Ecelston 2.David Tennant 1.Matt Smith

My favourite would have to be capaldi the man was a speech machine Anti war speech Where I stand is where I fall And of course his regeneration speech Were my favourites

My rough list: 12) McGann 11) Pertwee 10) Capaldi 9) Hartnell 8) Davison 7/6) C. Baker/McCoy 5) Smith 4) Eccleston 3) Tennant 2) Troughton 1) T. Baker

Pertwee always my favourite with Baker & Capaldi right behind. It is such a shame that the writing of his era was so bad. Plus, I cannot stand Clara. Leela's would have killed Clara for her treatment of the Doctor. Anyway, good list.

Great video. My favourite Doctor is Capaldi but I make the distinction between favourite and best. I don't think I can ever rank the Doctors. Like you, I've enjoyed each interpretation of this character and I think if any one of them had never been given the chance to be the Doctor the show as a whole would be poorer for it.

Hey wingy could you rank the dalek stories soon? Great content as usual, inspiring me for my channel as ever :D

1. Troughton (who I'm dressing as at Bath Comic Con, by the way) 2. Tennant 3. Smith 4. T Baker 5. Eccleston 6. McGann 7. Capaldi 8. Davison 9. Pertwee 10. C Baker 11. Hartnell 12. McCoy

This is a great list! It's not quite the same as mine, but that doesn't matter. I like how some of your picks are predictable, while others go against the grain. A very honest look at the Doctors. Agree about Capaldi, and I love to see Pertwee and Davison get some love. All of these terrific Dr. Who lists inspire me to post some of my own.

Well done sir, this list and how and why you ranked the doctors the way you did has inspired me to go back and do a list myself. Bravo.

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 great video keep up the good work

My list: 14. War Doctor 13. 6th Doctor 12. 1st Doctor 11. 7th Doctor 10. 9th Doctor 9. 8th Doctor 8. 5th Doctor 7. 2nd Doctor 6. 4th Doctor 5. 13th Doctor 4. 3rd Doctor 3. 11th Doctor 2. 12th Doctor 1. 10th Doctor

Tom Baker is brilliant! Definitely the best. I haven't watched all the new ones yet, I'm at series 2, but Tom is still the Doctor!

12. Matt Smith 11. Paul McGann 10. Colin Baker 9. Sylvester McCoy 8. William Hartnell 7. David Tennant 6. Peter Davison 5. Jon Pertwee 4. Peter Capaldi 1. Tom Baker 1. Patrick Troughton 1. Christopher Eccleston

Tom baker wasn't only the best doctor, he had the best stories, the best companions

Wow, my list is so different. Also, am I the only person who really liked series 9?

Our top three are the same! Except rearanged for mine, with the 12th at first, the 3rd at second, and 4th at third. I strongly disagree with what you said about Capaldi's writing however. In my opinion Twelve's era has the best writing certainly from the new show, possibly the show entirely.

Totally agree on Pertwee and his badassery! He is sooo cool! Also agree on Capaldi and that he would work at any part of the shows timeline! Fascinating, I hadn’t thought about that! But yeah, Capaldi was great...

Wingy: Puts two of my favourite doctors at the bottom Me: A surprise to be sure but a welcome one

I have to say, I really like this approach. This is the first video of yours that I have seen, but you were way more respectful then most others that I have seen, and even though I disagree with some of your rankings, you were just nicer about it than a lot of the people who discuss DW.

Nice ranking. 😀👍 My ranking in reverse order is... 13) The War Doctor 12) Five 11) Ten 10) Eight 9) Six 8) One 7) Nine 6) Two 5) Three 4) Eleven 3) Seven 2) Four 1) Twelve

Great video, I don't necessarily agree with you on all your choices but how you explained your reasoning was completely coherent and just made sense to me.

I absolutely adore Peter Capaldi and William Hartnell. My two favorites.

My favourite is the 10th (yeah I said it come at me) I get the "too human" criticism and the end of time (yeah that was a disgrace to him), but he funny, charismatic, serious when he has on to be, the characters around him, most of his episodes are enjoyable (even love and monsters if you don't take it seriously and end of time NOT included), his era really brings a smile to my face and memories of how good new who was during it's golden age.

Great video wingy, Tom & Patrick excellent first rate Doctors, can you act Wingy you could be a Doctor in the future. Thats some hypnotic intro shit you were using wingy, YOU WILL OBEY?...

McCoy will always be my favourite Doctor

TRIGGEREEEEDDDD Lol jk. Tennant fans are triggered though😂

Absolutely amazing list! Not too far off from mine - but it's so lovely to hear a guy give each Doctor a fair and analytical going-over. SUPER happy to hear you say such good things about 6, 2, 12 and 5, and I agreed with absolutely everything. My list would be: 12. McGann 11. Smith 10. C. Baker 9. Hartnell 8. Eccleston 7. McCoy 6. Tennant 5. Pertwee 4. T. Baker 3. Capaldi 2. Troughton 1. Davison

and Tom Baker may well be the funniest man on earth.

Hey, where did you get the desk in your background?? Want to buy one for myself but can't find one

She’s some people’s favorite because she’s a waahmyn.

Great video man! As much as I politely disagree with a few choices and positions you still made it convincing enough for my to agree with you!

1 Peter Davidson/Jon Pertwee 3 Sylvester McCoy 4 Paul McGann 5 Matt Smith 6 Tom Baker 7 Colin Baker 8 William Hartnell 9 Patrick Troughton 10Peter Capaldi 11 David Tennant 12 Chris Eccleston 13 Jodie Whittaker

"Some of the BEST stuff, consistently, weak after weak... Wait... Week after week!" BTW, could you make a video related to Big Finish (if you ever heard the stories, they're great!)? Maybe companions, like Evelyn Smythe (the best). Great videos, love your channel!

Tennant is my favourite Doctor, but I understand people's problems with him. Yes, he can be a bit of a 'wingy' (pun intended) person, and can sometimes come off as too human, but I think his overall charm, wittiness and the era that he was in, makes me feel he's the best.

Totally agree! Great analysis!

William Hartnell is one of my favourite of the classic era because I found his silly cheap monsters terrifying in black and white. It’s also refreshing to me because the vibe is so different from any other era it could be a whole other show. Makes me appreciate how far it’s come.

Great video

Top 5: 1. Pertwee 2. Troughton 3. Smith 4. T Baker 5. Tennant Also Wingy do ranking of Doctor Who aliens/villains

Best to worst - Tom Baker, Troughton, Hartnell, Pertwee, Capaldi, Eccleston, Smith, Davison, Tennant, Baker, McGann, McCoy. Pertwee and Capaldi could switch places easily. Same with Tennant and Davison. IMO. - Capaldi could have been great ... Eccleston could have lasted longer.

Love ur top 10. Ot has inspired me to do one as well.

How about a version of this for the known incarnations of the Master/Missy

Where would you place the Valyard as played by Micheal Jayston?

A fantastic ranking, and I enjoyed the heck out of this! So pleased to see Pertwee rank so highly.

I haven't seen enough to rank all the Doctors. Tom Baker was the Doctor when I first encountered the series years ago. I wasn't aware of previous Doctors then; I did not follow subsequent Doctors after him. Our local public television station carried the series for a short time. In the early-mid 2000s, I started watching Doctor Who on DVDs after a fellow doll enthusiast mentioned the series. I started with Tennant as "my" new series Doctor then returned to Eccleston and on to Smith and Capaldi. After viewing your vlogs about the series, I want to revisit the Tom Baker stories and some of the other, old series. Thanks for sharing your opinions and for explaining them here.

Could you do a video on Big Finish? I really want to hear your opinions on it.

10 used to be my favorite, but Peter Capaldi pushed him down the list a bit (though not as far down as yours).

I've seen quite a few of these Doctor rankings, this one probably comes closest to my personal list. As with most things in life, it comes down to how you experienced each actor at the time they were the Doctor.

You really need to do more skits when you dress as the Doctor, the one with adric made me laugh out loud!! :)

How would you w/rank the Cybermen stories?

You finally did it

wow I personally find the 60s the best era

I think hating Tennant has become more popular than liking him in the internet fan community.

I COULD DO SO MUCH MORE IT'S NOT FAIR God 10 was annoying.

I really like matt smith

True. Every time I see a title like 'ranking' something I wonder if it's a typo. Just for a second.

1. tom baker 2. jon pertwee 3.matt smith 4.Sylvester mccoy 5.peter davison 6.David tennant (the reason hes so low is cause the end of time sucked 7.patrick troughton 8.colin baker 9.william hartnell 10. peter capaldi(cause of clara and steven moffats crappy writing) 11.christopher eccleston cause he only did 1 season 12. paul mcghan

Finally - someone who doesn't think that Tennant is the best doctor and can point out his massive flaws!!!!

I hadn’t really watched Classic Who over the years but I’ve watched a lot of Pertwee recently and now I feel my favourite will change every day

I haven't watched yet but tennant last Tom baker first

For me Jon Pertwee's doctor is my favourite because he is the first one I remember seeing on television back in 1973. I like Tom Baker too. When was your first memory of the seeing the show on television?

I hate 10th doctor...

Top three 3.7 (season 25 and 26) 2.2 1.4 “What awonderful Butler he’s so violent”

In my Opinion David Tennant is still number 1 for me.. because he was so human like .. he was scared of dying and imagine you would've been in that Situation when he had hope that he would live and then his hopes were crushed by four knocks i would be desperate and pissed off too tbh but thats just my opinion

My top five are Seven, One, Eleven, Three and Six. (And I loved Six even before Big Finish, the audios just cemented it.)

My mate’s mum was old enough to remember when Troughton took over from Hartnell so I asked her what she thought of him and she replied “I hated him.” She said he grew on her eventually and she ended up liking him, but at first the idea of replacing Hartnell didn’t go down very well. Looking at him now, 50 years later, I think he’s not the biggest personality but he fits his own era perfectly, an easy going, low key and fun Doctor who can be a total boss when he needs to be. Apart from him, my fave is Peter Davison. He’s so underrated it’s criminal.

4th Doctor all the way. Subbed!

Yo wingy. The intro messed up! D: But the video was awesome

My list is very different but that's what the show is about. Love how how put your opinions across. 😊

Great video!!! Whovians are awesome! 😂😂😂

5. Patrick Troughton 4. Jon Pertwee 3. David Tennant 2. Tom Baker 1. Matt Smith

I haven't seen everything from all of them, and some of them I haven't seen anything of (I'm steadily making my way through the classic series, currently on The Key to Time) but here's my ranking from what I have seen: 9. Paul McGann (Only seen Night of the Doctor, so really can't put him any higher) 8. David Tennant (Like you said, End of Time really sours his era) 7. Peter Davison (I've only seen Warriors of the Deep) 6. Colin Baker (Trial of a Time Lord) 5. Christopher Eccleston 4. Matt Smith 3. Jon Pertwee (Everything) 2. Peter Capaldi 1. Tom Baker (His first four seasons, plus The Ribos Operation and The Pirate Planet)

Great video, but I actually like the weird green intro :)

Has anyone else taken the liberty to notice that he has a classic doctor and a modern doctor as both the worst and best, much more varied than most other youtubers who dogmatically favour the new or classic series. Still i'd probaby have your list almost backwards but still.

Just started the video and i think (judging by the title) Tom might just be number 1 Love your videos though, keep up the great work

If you like Tom Baker, watch Nicholas & Alexandra, a movie made in 1971. It won Oscars and Tom Baker plays Rasputin - to which role he brings great intensity. A Doctor Who aside, Tsar Nicholas II is played in this film by Michael Jayston, who was later to play The Valeyard opposite Colin Baker’s 6th Doctor. Do try and watch it sometime, I’m sure you’ll enjoy Tom’s performance as Rasputin... in some ways it’s a little bit like his performance as the 4th Doctor...😀

YES🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Much respect. Ive come to the conclusion that i have no favorite doctor, although i am partial to David Tennant because he was the Doctor when i started watching. But i respect your opinion

Hey. Did anyone know that Wingys 6th favourite Doctor is going to be Macbeth in the Royal Shakespeare Thingimajig? Just me? Cause I'm excited to see it.

See tennant is probably one of if not my favorite doctor but i can still see your reasoning.

Would be nice to see a top 5 stories from each doctor

My list: 1. Matt Smith 2. David Tennant 3. Jon Pertwee 4. Tom Baker 5. Christopher Eccelston 6. Peter Capaldi 7. Patrick Troughton 8. Peter Davison 9. Sylvester Mccoy 10. William Hartnell 11. Paul Mcgann 12. Colin Baker

Nine is and will always be my favourite Doctor.
