in reply to The best Doctor:

Funny, I didn't know any of them but Doctor Who?, and even then mostly as a cultural phenomenon - which is why my vote was cast on that. And then Dr. House, mentioned by Trizor, but to be fair I've never ever really watched a single episode after all.

If it were for me, the best doctor is The Doctor. Eventually, rumors are that some Perl 7 code is hidden deep inside his holographic subroutines. Probably this is much more relevant to his outstanding personality than is generally acknowledged.

    They are the actors that played the various incarnations of Doctor Who's Doctor.

      No, really?
      :P

      Cannot believe anyone voted for Sylvester McCoy. He was feeble.

      Trivia point - some of Patrick Troughton's great-grandchildren are at school with my daughter!
