Well, the most obvious answer is a match between the 2 fan favorites: Tom Bakker and David Tennant. I'm not exactly an avid follower of the show, but I'd be fascinated to hear your opinions on thisFirefilm said:

No Right Answer: Best TV Doctor
- Thread starter Firefilm
- Start date
(my vote is for Tennant.)
As with everyone else who has commented so far I immediately assumed The Doctor would at least be mentioned.
I was severely disappointed until they mentioned my next favorite character: Dr. Cox!
Seriously, he is the only reason I watch Scrubs and one of my favorite characters on TV. I call the argument invalid by viewer fiat. Dr. Cox is the best.

That would be a refreshing break from the incessant Tennant vs Smith. Blugh, what a stupid argument; that shouldn't even be a contest. Tennant.Dr_Horrible said:Well, the most obvious answer is a match between the 2 fan favorites: Tom Bakker and David Tennant.

Obviously, it's The Doctor.
Sometimes I wish that they'd kept it going after Sylvester McCoy's run...with talented, dedicated writers, of course.

Compared to all the posters here, I feel alone in realizing that it was going to be Dr. House before the video even started. And I really like Doctor Who, but that didn't come to mind until I saw this thread.
Oh please...His tenth incarnation was a pretty emo boy with two emotions, at least eleventh has some guts, and some damn good lines.Zaverexus said:
As was said before, if you're asking "Who is the best Doctor?" then "Who IS the best Doctor."synobal said:

Nah, go for a really tough one, like Ecclestone versus Colin Baker, Or Troughton versus Pertwee.
Or the Master Battle, Simms vs Degaldo vs Ainley vs Jacobi.
Personally I'd do the one all the Doctor Who Fans want to know, Daleks vs Cybermen.
Who is the best TV doctor?SomeLameStuff said:You're BOTH wrong! The best doctor is of course, this guy.
Yes, it's true.
Though I'm still only at the first one.
Eccleston (Despite Baker being the only one that could fix the Chameleon Circuit?)TimeLord said:
Pertwee (Despite Troughton actually being able to travel in Space/Time?)
Simm ( Personally I'd rate Jacobi over Simms for that one line...and I thought Sam Tyler was awesome. Ainley hammed it well, but Delgado played it with real flair. Really tough one this)
Cybermen (YOU ARE SUPERIOR IN ONLY ONE RESPECT. YOU ARE SUPERIOR AT DYING)
Fixing the Chameleon circuit has never been a problem, I seem to recall that Eccleston said himself that he could fix it but wouldn't (Boom Town if I recall correctly)The_root_of_all_evil said:
Pertwee may not have been the best pilot in the world but oh well.
Simm displayed a real insane evil for the Master beyond being a cartoon villain (I mean come on, a weapon that makes your enemies smaller and kills them... compared to a weapon that is the very opposite of the Doctors screwdriver, that is also a laser)
And,
Cyberman: We have been upgraded.
The Doctor: Into what?
Cyberman: The next stage of mankind. We are human point two.
Also, that's exactly why Tennant wins. Tennant would never let his comanion kill anyone un-necessarily and try to save everyone. That is, and should be, the very core of who the Doctor should be. Killing everyone is easy. Saving everyone is hard.The_root_of_all_evil said:
The Tissue Compression Eliminator versus a rip-off that doesn't even make sense?TimeLord said:
TCE turns people into dolls by crushing them. The Laser Screwdriver reads DNA and then accelerates the time around it? C'mon...that's beyond stupid.
*ahem* Family of Death, the Slitheen, Madame Pompadour, Dave, The Other Dave, Miss Evangelista... not very good at saving people, is he? The 4th Doctor let the DALEKS live because he didn't think he had the right. He rescued the Daleks because he didn't want to kill them.
Tennnant murdered his way through species because they got in his way. That's why the word for Doctor is the same as Warrior now.
And he had a cool scarf. Scarves are cool.
Yes but at least it had context. It was created from the Lazerus tech that the Master funded as Saxon. And it's not like ageing things was it's primary function, unlike the doll maker.The_root_of_all_evil said:
Do not mistake blind pacifism with acceptable retaliation. The Family of Blood were hunting him across time and space to kill him and use his energy for whatever they needed it for, probably the destruction of the galaxy. The Slitheen tried to destroy him and the Earth for money. Madame De Pompadour didn't even die for him, the Doctor didn't alter time by inter-fearing with her life and she didn't die because of him. Everyone in the library were killed by his enemy, not by him, he still tried to save everyone in the end. Whether he could or couldn't is irrelevant, he still tried.
I'm not saying everyone should live by his hand, but there is a line between blind pacifism and acceptable revenge. Especially when your life and the life of billions and/or the entire galaxy is at stake.
EDIT: Also, the 10th Doctor exiled his own duplicate to a parallel world for genocide of the Daleks.
I know he dosen't practise medicine, he could probaply not cure my illness, but he calls himself a doctor, so it fits within this debate...
I'd want The Doctor to take care of me, i don't care if i could easily have been cured by an ACTUAL doctor, i want The Doctor.
