:D:D
My favourite (and only in coincidence my first) Doctor was Christopher Eccleston. He balanced the dark and mysterious with the witty and daft all at the same time. Tennant added too much soap-opera, and Smith doesn't pull off the angry scenes as well as Eccleston ever did.
For me, Smith would be a solid runner-up to Eccles, whilst in terms of classic Doctors my favourites from what I've seen are Hartnell and Pertwee.

However, why has no one mentioned Peter Cushing, as Dalek Invasion Earth was excellent?
Oh god, NOW you've definitely done it!
I'll be in the fallout shelter
I guess if this thread doesn't deliver I may start one entitled - 'Why my fave Doctor is much better than yours'.
lol just kidding.
wait...there is no option for REG? Outrage!
Mods! Destroy this haven of heresies!
I'll be rounded up and turned into a Roboman. Actually this was quite a good film and Cushing seems influenced by William Hartnell.
For Pertwee to "save the show and bring it up to date" probably very much needed to happen back then, but now, to me anyway, his era doesn't seem like "proper" Doctor Who. Being exiled to modern (or near-modern) day Earth and being unable (for most of his tenure) to use the Tardis to travel elsewhere and elsewhen just feels wrong to me.
Peter Cushing played a human scientist named "Doctor Who" and not an alien called "The Doctor" in two films versions of Hartnell TV stories. So good as Peter Cushing was in those films, he is not part of the official canon and should not be included in this poll.
