Without a doubt, Davison to Colin Baker was the best. We actually saw 5 go through the process of dying, not just conveniently falling off a gantry or absorbing theTime Vortex by kissing his companion or spending half an hour looking up his old mates, and 6's first words really added to the occassion (shame the following story was such a letdown!).
![]() My second fave is the Eccleston to Tennant though, because I adore Eccleston in that last scene, it's beautifully acted and very poignant, and Nine has, for me, the best final words of any Doctor to date. |

My Favorite is Tom Baker to Peter Davidson, which I thought was very good regeneration of all the regenerations so far in Dcotor Who.

{ PS: the worst one IMO was Jon Pertwee into Tom Baker - a simple phase into a new face }. |

Tennant To Smith is powerful, but it's sort of a let down that you don't really see the morph happen properly.
Maybe they got the camera angles off when they did the seperate shooting, and had to botch it in the edit. |

I've got to go for the regeneration from the Fifth to the Sixth Doctor. You got to not only watch the regeneration, but to see how the Doctor himself experienced it.
The Sixth Doctor era turned out to be largely not very good, but that doesn't obscure the brilliance of the regeneration. |

It's all a bit fuzzy when you're talking about how long a Dr lasted, and I don't really want to derail the thread going there, but Pertwee appeared more often across his tenure than McCoy did (not that that was Sylvester's fault
) |

They really should've got all that watcher confusion cleared up BEFORE The Doctor fell, not halfway through his regeneration! |

It seems a bit un-doctorish to scream when you are regenerating, unlike The Master for whom the manic scream worked perfectly! |

That was spoilt for me by (a) the fact that he was shot by a street gang, very un Doctor Who (b) it was in such a crap story.
The Doctor has been shot by a 'gang' before, although that proved to be a false ending - remember The Caves Of Androzani Part 1? Yeah, I know it was a firing squad, but the similarity is there. And yes it was very Doctor Who in the TVM. The movie may not have been the best Doctor Who but it certainly wasn't the worst - remember The Trial Of A Timelord? I loved the bit when the Doctor and Grace speed through two moving lorries. Well I love that kind of chase which we haven't had in Doctor Who before. It really moved along. There is no way you are ever going to please everyone, in fact I think some Doctor Who fans are beyond pleasing - there's always something wrong somewhere. But my favourite regeneration was definitely DT to MS - the stirring orchestra, the moving moment when he 'died' alone and 'reborn' - definitely Doctor Who's finest hour. |

Actually I disagree with you about the McGann movie.

Davison to Colin Baker was a triumph - sadly not lived up to in the subsequent writing/stories. The regeneration itself and then Colin's appearance and performance in a few short seconds. the very polar opposite of Davison's warm, gentle characterisation. massive dramatic impact, especially after the trauma of Androzani when you would expect to be comforted by some cozy doctor love. fantastic.

Tough call really.
Jon to Tom was quite upsetting-I was quite young.Jon was like a older family member. Good through and through. Tom to Peter was momentous. We knew it was the end of era (in fact it was the begining of the end really ) Chris to David was very impressive. David to Matt was quite moving (although I was ready for David to go-'I dont want to go'-'no, please do, no second chances ')-but my eye's did well up.

No, the star of the show being shot by an LA street gang may belong to an American cop series but definitely not to Doctor Who.

5th to 6th Doctor (but I may be biased as the Caves of Androzani is one of my favourite stories).

Baker to Davison, was the best imo - the watcher twist was a genuine surprise and added to the moment, Baker was and still is my fav Dr so it was also really sad, even though i knew he was leaving.

I think I like the epicness of the Tom Baker to Peter Davison regeneration best. The Watcher stalking the Doctor throughout the whole morbid story Logopolis, then at the end the Doctor falling to his death from the radio tower, with clips of his enemies wanting him dead and then of his companions calling his name, then the Watcher finally joining with the Doctor's body. It always gives me the shivers.

Jon to Tom is a bit lacklustre. They both have an enormous Whooter, and I just find myself focussing on the nostrils.

Die!" ... once the smug one had gone, Matt's chirpiness immediately won us over. For me it's a tossup between CE to DT because of the way the Doctor talked to Rose, or TB to PD, just because! |

Oh yes it does. Because you can do absolutely anything you like with Doctor Who and it would still be Doctor Who. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree here.

I totally agree-that scene is great, because it's just so unexpected.
