I literally quit watching the show during Capaldi's second year (jumping back in for Whittaker's first two years before dropping out again), and while that had a lot to do with the approach the show was taking, something that went back to Smith's tenure and represented an accumulation of discontentment on my part, Capaldi's depiction of the Doctor never clicked with me. I don't see what the fuss is about, and he's one of only four Doctors I'd say I don't particularly care for.

I Agree With You! I Think Matt Smith Is THE Doctor! No.1 Too! ❤❤

Peter capaldii as the doctor is the Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes type of performance. As time goes on it gets better and better. Victory feels earned, rather than just "I'm the doctor" *waves sonic screwdriver*. Great ability to both command a room and share a stage, while also bouncing very well off basically every character he interacts with. Incredibly underrated doctor

I think that people often look at the handful of supposedly REALLY BAD episodes in Capaldi’s era like Kill the Moon, Sleep No More, The Eaters of Light etc. (I think those episodes they’re just average) and say that his whole era was like that.

I’ve watched so many Doctor Who ranking videos the one consistent thing all those videos shared was that nobody liked Jodie’s doctor.

When Big Finish is taken into account, the Sixth and Eighth Doctors are the best of the classic era in my opinion. Allowing Colin Baker to play the Doctor the way he wanted and giving him good material gets him to shine. Giving Paul McGann some more adventures really shows his versatility as an actor since he is able to play the romantic, whacky scientist, space hobo, and cold sides of the Doctor with effortless ease.

Yep I agree, Even though Tom was 'my' Doctor, Capaldi was superb in the role. Unfortunately the Beeb thought otherwise and imo his tenure suffered because of it and I will always hold that against them. It also helps that Capaldi is big Who fan (we both contributed to the same Who fanzine back in the day would you believe) and so he genuinely loves this show and It shows in his performances. I still miss him. :(

Absolutely the best doctor...

Pat Troughton is the best Doctor of Classic Who and most certainly of whole Doctor Who. It is a shame that so much of his great acting is missing, probably forever. Ans Chris Eccleston is the one who does best in showing his mood changes within a second, from playfully childish to bitterly serious. Thus, Eccleston is the best Doctor of Modern Who, unfortunately having only one season.

@STNeish

Жыл бұрын

I feel that Troughton was the best Doctor, in large part because he was the one who made the character what we saw from then on. Hartnell's Doctor was very different, being somewhat less curious, heroic and affable. Troughton set the stage for all that followed him. Of course, he also inhabited the role better than any other actor, with the possible exception of Tom Baker.

It's always sad when we have to say goodbye but capaldi leaving hit way harder then any other. He will always be the definitive doctor to me and I'm so glad that others appreciate him as much as I do.

Yes, 12 was great. He was amazing, had depth, and had an amazing multi-series arc.

For me, it goes like this: 14). The 13th Doctor - Jodie Whittaker 13). The War Doctor - John Hurt 12). The 5th Doctor - Peter Davison 11). The 6th Doctor - Colin Baker 10).

4this mine and always will be, but any list that has him top 5 is always a good one (unless you put Jodie there, then we will have to agree to disagree)

During his era Capaldi was criticized. And now he is worshipped. Jodie Whittaker's era is criticized, but to me she was a great doctor, I will miss her energy, her passion, her warmth, and how emotional she was. The flux was a great season and The Power of the Doctor was a great episode

I've been watching a lot of ratings lately and I'm so thrilled to find another that has 12 in the top spot!! I can't express how much I love Capaldi's era.

Peter Capaldi is brilliant and I am thrilled you put him first. Young teenage girls didn't like him because they wanted to keep the youthful eye candy of the previous two incarnations. Capaldi's acting is sublime and he is so unique from the others. He cared more than any before despite what people say. Everything that makes Capaldi brilliant is what is lacking in Whittaker's characterisation. He has such sincerity, is so authentic and not a caricature. He had both beauty (not romantic but the real thing) and power in his personality without the arrogance that other carnations sometimes overindulged in. His speeches were delivered with such ferocity and passion that you can't imagine many of the other incarnations coming close. As you stated Capaldi was so brilliant he could even make crap scripts watchable. With Bill and Nardole we had a Tardis team equal in liking to Sarah, Harry and Tom. in his season nine the compassion he showed for Clara (who I know many didn't like, but I thought she was a delight) was incredibly moving. What I loved most was between these two characters is that they portrayed what genuine love in it's purest state is. It is caring about the other so far much more than yourself. It is a notion that is not easy to convey on a television show and there is a danger it will come across as weird, even inappropriate. However the two leads pulled it off beautifully. They showed that substantial lows, if overcome can only lead to a stronger connection and that really is what I mean by the word 'love' in this posting. it is a powerful connection, an understanding and value for someone you care about deeply. Capaldi brought such an abundance of emotions to the screen. His final episodes he really shone. For those who did not like this incarnation i would recommend you give him a second try. I think if I had to choose one word to subscribe Capaldi's Doctor is 'depth'. A depth of every emotion yet could also could be lighthearted, But no other actor has been able to pull off the depth of the character better than Capaldi. At the middle age of 51 years and he will always be my favourite Doctor.

I would say the 11th and 12th were more or less equal in terms of quality. Both had their own quirks that they made a great portrayal. But yes. The hell bent episode was crazy and the best episode of the entire show.

The story itself should have been written in such a way that this would be disclosed at the weakest point of the doctor and all they did was hang her in a bunch of circles sitting and hearing a story and even after that all it took was just a so called mind blast along with writing a situation in the story where they showed her slightly cowardly to the point an old man blows himself up.

11th doctor is the best doctor. We will always remember when the doctor was him.

My ranking would be... 1. Tom Baker by lightyears.... if that man tells you he is an alien, you believe it, no doubt 2. Paul McGann/ Sir John Hurt , also both had only audio Series, but just wow. You can see the Doctor infront of you thats how good they are 3. Peter Capaldi, 4. Sylvester McCoy, 5. Christopher Ecclestone the audios wow. To me "Girl deconstructed" is one of the best Doctor Who storys ever / Colin Baker, the Audios are awesome, he nails the part,they improved so much of the 6th Doctor, and show how good he is, given propper material. 6. Matt Smith, 7.William Hartnell 8. David Tannent, WAY to overrated, way to human 9. Jon Pertwee 10. Jo Martin She clicks almost on the spot, thats the Doctor no doubt! I hate the Tmeles Child BS, but her Doctor is awesome. 11. Patrick T. havent seen much of him, maybe higher next time. You can flip this and 12...not sure yet. 12. Jodie Withaker Again, she is not bad! But she never clicks, hope she gets Audios too to show her potential with people who CARE about the show and give her propper material to work with 13. Peter Davison....he doesnt click for me, mostly because there is no good chemestry with companions, most of them are annoying tbh.

Thank you some understands twelves character and I loved him for his character development. I like his nature of always trying to do the right thing, he cared about people. I hope we see more of him one day.

Actually finally seeing someone have legit criticism for Jodie's doctor is something I appreciate very much instead of the usual overdramatic answers people give. Anyway, my favorite is McCoy due to his manipulative persona and he has some of the best stories in books also I disagree I think he is dark in season 25 too the clip you showed from the greatest show in the galaxy(one of my favorite stories) is not like that to be childish but mostly to show the the doctor not winning the higher-ups(the audience and the BBC higher-ups in this case) with his iold tricks and then trying something new and they would still not be pleased but in the end he survives anyway the same way the show managed to survive for another season during it's worst time and how it managed to go on even in the wilderness years and then it got revived.

My top 3 doctors are Baker, Tennant, and Capaldi. Awesome video! Amazing this show has been around for more than half a century!

I'm perpetually back and forth between 10 and 12, and that probably won't ever change.

My opinion obviously love to here if u agree or disagree and love to know why 🙂

Your ranking (specifically your top 5) is LITERALLY the same thing I have and for most of the same reasons too, so I'm genuinely SO HAPPY that someone 1) agrees with me 2) loves 12 as much as I do! edit: actually I love the second doc so much I'd prob put him 3rd for personal fav, but overall for what i'd say are the best doctors minus sentimental value I'd prob say this ranking too 😂

I love 11 but that’s the Doctor I started the show with, I was there to see 12’s entrance and exit live so I’m attacked to him, and I overall just love 10’s performance.

The last two seasons of Capaldi are amazing and among the very best of all Doctor Who

I’ve only watched Modern Who and here’s my ranking and reasonings. I’ll start from worst and end with the best 13: Whittaker does improve overall, but my god is she incredibly weak in her role. Not much to say otherwise 10: Yeah this might be an unpopular Opinion but tbh the gap between 13 and everyone else is massive but that doesn’t mean 10 doesn’t have problems. I love his run, and Series 4 is spectacular. But if you were to boil him down to a single sentence here’s what it could be: “Boy do I love having Rose with me and I’m so sad and upset that I can’t get over the feeling because I’m constantly missing her” Like, everything else is great, but the Romance has got to go 11: I put 11 above 10 just cause he doesn’t do romance except with Clara. But even then it’s handled WAY better than 10 and Rose. 11 is fun, awkward, quirky, and he has a lot of heart. He is the shining star in his sort of messy run. 9: One series, one run. 9 is absolutely Fantastic and RTD knocked it out of the park. He is mostly higher than 11 just cause 11 has minor flaws but tbh Eccleston to me does so much with how little he had. I love him and wished we had more. 12: Is it even a competition? (Yes it is but come on we all agree Capaldi is THE DOCTOR) Edit: I forgot to mention River exists so… there’s that for 11. Their chemistry is a bit overrated but it just works just because they’re husband and wife. It still makes my point valid as outside of his own wife, he only really has chemistry with Clara. So his ranking doesn’t change

Definitely not equal parts of them, but taking the qualities of them that are most compatible with each other and blending them so seamlessly. I can revisit his era, especially in series 10 and can tell he’s the same person as all that came before. I feel like my take might be popular or agreed with😅

I totally agree, Capaldi has always been my favourite Doctor, but I personally love Sylvester McCoy, not sure who hasn't been praising his audio dramas, but I've always found people rate them higher than his run on TV. Take a look at The Architects of History, A Death in the Family, UNIT Dominion, The Enemy of the Daleks, The Fearmonger, The Two Masters and the utterly phenomenal 'Master'. These audio dramas know what makes McCoy great, it's his cunning, Machiavellian, borderline evil nature.

He wasn't a regeneration that happened to choose to give in to the temptation to fight. He didn't have a choice. McGann's Doctor was in the unusual position of being able to choose how his next regeneration would go and he chose a warrior.

Capaldi without doubt was the best doctor. The worse is the current one. She is too ditzy.

Plus, he was able to pull off a retconned Doctor who wasn't supposed to exist during the most important milestone in Doctor Who history whilst sharing the screen with 2 of the most popular Doctors of all time AND having Tom Baker waiting in the wings. There's no way Peter Capaldi could have managed that.

realistically 7 and 8 are by miles the "darkest" incarnations in large part because they are by miles the most complicated yet well fleshed out characters out of them. Granted this is largely down to their 90s/00s material but 7 was fully formed in season 25 (yeah not sure why this guy thought the "darker" version only started in Battlefield but hey) and y'know the vast majority of 8 is outside of the TV show (which, being pedantic, actually means the TVM and the modern series since they aren't the same show, they are different productions). I also don't agree at all with the "new who character development driven classic who adventure of the week" thing, that's more just the 70s/early-mid80s seasons. There are two very different versions of Doctor Who, the version new who is based on (the 4th Doctor era is the best example, it's adventure based and pushes the whole 'quirky' thing and so on) and then there's 60s Who and the McCoy-McGann eras (obviously with McGann this is down to the books and novels). That version places far more emphasis on being lost in space and time, the vastness and the weirdness of the unknown around them. It has more of an emphasis on the horror elements and it does have relatively character driven plots (Ian/Barbara, Seven/Ace, Susan's development, the Second Doctor and the Time Lords, etc.) as opposed to the average 4th Doctor story, but it is still about travellers lost in space - not a "lonely god" and his companions of prophecies like in New Who. And because despite being fundamentally based on 70s/early-mid80s Who, New Who is another totally different version down to it's soap elements and it's very dramatic stories and it's almost total divorcement from being lost in space being scared and lost and having a Doctor who was a danger to the companion, as opposed to the cuddly best friend or love interest. My point being, I don't think things like "13th Doctor can't command the room" or having a more romantic Doctor are really great points against or for different Doctors. To each their own and all the rest but I think rankings like this almost always "suffer" from being based on any given fan's individual perspective of what Doctor Who is or should be that isn't generally accurate to the different versions of the show that do exist. Which is why we ever got a revival of the 60s Who fundamentals with McCoy in the first place, because those making that era didn't watch 70s Who and only remembered the 60s originals. Side note, totally personal, I think the 10th Doctor era is incredibly mediocre outside of series 3 which is great.

For Me born in the 70s there's only Tom baker Christopher eccleston and David Tennant that have a mix of warmth and power that make a human being watching feel safe. I preferred Kimba the white lion as a child, my brother and my mum who agrees with with me, she's 73 so she's pretty much over the years seen them as part of her life since the first doctor, oh and she had a massive crush on Paul magann* I loved John hurt as the doctor, straight away you look into his eyes and want to know him. But I stand by my 3 choices David Tennant for me as feeling safe when he was there, oh and Tom baker getting my attention as a child because he was funny and nice, Christopher eccelston for being so powerful and sweet. For my mum it's the first Doctor then Christopher eccelston Paul magann then the others. But for my grandchildren, they started watching David Tennant with me, but they loved Matt Smith, and now no one even thinks about it, which is pretty sad considering how long it's been in my mums life my life, it's not recognisable anymore, not to us. I'd like to know how English kids feel about doctor who. But I'll always thank the UK for introducing us to Doctor who 💞💞💞💞 Christopher Eccelston didn't want to keep playing the doctor 😒🥀🕯.

I love David tenner and he will forever be my favorite doctor, but i do gotta admit Peter was a really good doctor

My list worst to best 13. 13th 12. 12th 11. 6th 10. 5th 9. 7th 8. 8th 7. 1st 6. 3rd 5. 9th 4. 4th 3. 11th 2. 2nd 1. 10th

My favourite doctors are 5 11 10 7 3

Ok for putting the war doctor so high full respect he is my third favourite

Interesting. I never watched the Capaldi series so I’ll have to give it a watch

Pertwee is the best

I need to watch the 12th doctor again.

11)David Tennant(He had a chance not to be the last. Season 29 is my all-time favorite season, but season 30(my 2nd least favorite season, 1st least favorite season 18,3rd is 28) happened). 10)Peter Davison 9)Matt Smith 8)Jon Pertwee 7)Christopher Eccleston 6)William Hartnell 5)Colin Baker 4)Patrick Troughton 3)Sylvester McCoy 2)Peter Capaldi 1)Tom Baker

I really think the 5th Doctor could have been better if he started to have some traumatic effects from Earthshock. Like after Adric dies, he starts becoming somewhat overly protective in regards to his companions and less forgiving/more pessimistic towards his enemies.

Colin Baker is much better than often listed: he made a completely new fresh character regenerating from the somewhat dull 5th doctor. Of course his coat is…. But the reason he wore it was explained. I love his arrogant whit combined with his witty arrogance. Pro: arrogance, whit, humour, original approach, dark side, his voice , his treatment of texts, constant character, outer space looks. Contra: suit, bad directing, weak companions, cheap decor sets…… god he’s so much better than said.

Capaldi is also my #1 to the point that for me, the final line by the Doctor of the whole franchise is "I Let You Go". There has been nothing of major interest for me in the Doctor Who series since him, and that includes the 2023 reboot stuff. But where we differ, is that I have Matt Smith as my #2, and you had him way down in your list. A lot of what I loved about Capaldi, (and Tom Baker), is also in Matt Smith in spades. Troughton as well. I like alien doctors, and particularly ones who can make me laugh and cry within seconds of each other. Plus Matt had Amy and Rory, and River who are nearly as endearing to me as some of my favorite doctors.

Instant like when you said you don’t like the Timeless Child, great video anyway👍

Did anybody? I loathed it and I think the majority did too. I hope the show never sinks that low again.

Was surprised to see Capaldi at number one but wow. I agree he is THE Doctor. Even if I do have to forget Kill The Moon. The word for Capaldi is 'gravitas'.

I admit I am biased towards the classic era. 14 Jodie Whittaker 13 John Hurt 12 Paul McGann 11 Sylvester McCoy 10 Matt Smith 9 Christopher Eccleston 8 Peter Capaldi 7 David Tennant 6 Patrick Troughton 5 Jon Pertwee 4 Colin Baker 3 William Hartnell 2 Tom Baker 1 Peter Davison.

14 - Colin Baker 13 - Tom Baker 12 - Jodie Whittaker 11 - Peter Davidson 10 - John Hurt 9 - Paul McGann 8 - Christopher Eccleston 7 - William Hartnell 6 - Sylvester McCoy 5 - David Tennant 4 - Matt Smith 3 - Patrick Troughton 1&2 Peter Capaldi and Jon Pertwee. I’ve nothing to separate them. They both play a Doctor who I think is fantastic, interesting, and feels real. Full of contradictions and yet definitely the same man every time. Pertwee is my favourite classic Doctor Capaldi is my favourite modern Doctor And I’m not even going to try and place one over the other anymore. I’m aware many may have stopped reading after my placement of Tom, but he’s just so brutally unkind to his companions who rarely deserve it.

Can't argue with that number 1 choice. Capaldi is incredible, even in his poorest episodes he makes them so watchable.

14 doctors REMEMBER PETER CUSHING two movies more than paul mcgann

I feel like they did a wonderful job of giving us a sense of Ruth's characterization with extremely little screentime. I very much hope they write the character consistently, going forward.

Although Ruth's character was good I feel like a lot of the timeless child will be retconned as another charecter who used the doctor as a way to hide who they truly are or just ignore it as many people dislike it.

GRANT : THE ANIMATED DOCTOR (2003) This how I rank my doctors but to be fair and I quote "THEY ARE ALL GOOD!" and I have been a big fan since I first set eyes on the show back in 1979, which I think I would off been 5 turning 6 then and I still love it today. It will be interesting how the next doctor will be in the list. I have left a ? question mark in number 17 because, I did not want to spoil or reveal the surprise and Mystery to anyone watching around the 6th Doctor's era.

Your doing to much

Loving your choice for Number 1 🙂👍

If you want a great 7th Doctor audio drama check out Robophobia a sequel to the 4th Doctor's Robots of Death and it introduces Liv Chenka who has become the 8th Doctor's companion to this day. I just finished Dark Eyes and I highly recommend it. He starts very low after the death of his prior companion Lucy Miller and tries to regain a sense of hope. The 8th Doctor of the Time War would not be who he is without the pivot point of Dark Eyes.

Capaldi was fantastic. I am a hard core 10 fan but totally respect your views.

Would flux and the other specials change your opion on jodie?

My list: 1. 11th 2. 10th 3. 12th 4. 4th 5. 9th

I actually think you are 100% right. I would probably put Matt Smith lower but has more to do with the abysmal quality of some of his era and not really the doctors fault.

I agree. Capaldi is the best new who Doctor. However I think Tennant lacks character development as there’s nothing that shows his alien side (he is too human) compared to 12 I think he had the right balance of human and alien. Tenant is my least favourite doctor. I think 13 has had character development as the timeless child and the flux. Has given a lot of character development not the best but not the worst either. 11 is the opposite too alien and 9 almost had the right balance. I believe the doctors should all have character development and a equal balance between human and alien. 12s doctor I can relate to a lot he was the first doctor I saw. However his era also helped me through the end of school and college a lot. As I struggled a lot back then etc... I also hope he did eventually join big finish too.

It's hard to choose a BEST, as they all bring something different and pleasing. For me #1 = 9th, 10th & 11th Doctor. Tom Baker was good too. I just realized last night that a potential perfect Doctor #14 or #15 --

This is a great ranking of the Doctors. Of course no one will agree with the rankings, but all should agree on the reasoning behind it. Terry @ Tardis Spider

I don't agree with your rankings, but I appreciate how well thought out they were. Mine: 13: 13 (just awful characterization) 12: 7 (bad writing really hurt this doctor) 11: 5 (he had a tough act to follow and didn't really work for me) 10: 9 (I'll get crucified for this, but I didn't love the writing in this era) 9: 1 (also crucified, but I don't think it aged well for me) 8: 8 (night of the doctor redeemed him for me) 7: 6 (I liked the attempt at darkness) 6: 3 (he was really fun, almost bond like for me) 5: 12 (I didn't love him at first, but his last season solidified it for me) 4: 10 (uneven quality but when it was great, it was great) 3: 2 (loved space hobo) 2: 4 (also loved the comedy) 1. 11 (again, I love a space hobo comedy) I don't really count the war doctor because there's not enough in the tv series to go by.

My current ranking 1. Patrick Troughton (2nd Doctor) 2. Tom Baker (4th Doctor) 3. David Tennant (10 Doctor) 4. Sylvester McCoy (7th Doctor) 5. Jon Pertwee (3rd Doctor) 6. William Hartnell (1st Doctor) 7. Matt Smith (11th Doctor) 8. Christopher Eccleston (9th Doctor) 9. Peter Capaldi (12th Doctor) 10. Paul McGann (8th Doctor) 11. John Hurt (War Doctor) 12. Peter Davison (5th Doctor) 13. Colin Baker (6th Doctor) 14. Jodie Whittaker (12th Doctor)

Going into a video like this and expecting to not getting upset is a fools errand and I am a fool

I love Peter Capaldi and he’s up there as my favourite but I do see him as the doctor we got after the failure of the sixth doctor. Rather in a similar vein to James Bond actor’s Timothy dalton and Daniel Craig. The latter being praised a lot more highly. It shows that Colin baker and Timothy dalton were the right actors with the right ideas just the wrong time to present them. Both Capaldi and Baker’s doctors have horrendous tastes and are grumpy but they mellow and we began to like them a lot more. Not just proving the audience that they were wrong with their assumptions of said character but that the character too was also wrong behaviourally and therefore develops

Yeah I agree peter is my favorite both because of nostalgia as he was my first and just because of his great series I also love David Tennants episode as I'm sure I don't have to explain which episodes of his were jncredible

As much as I do love matt Smith's doctor so dearly, I realize his series along with Moffatts writing are full of holes past Series 5. Moffat can write great stories sure, but there are many moments where Matt Smith's doctor are spoiled by Moffatts.. sometimes rather Greasy writing. Especially in the Clara years. Im however really glad you placed capaldi so high, his doctor is extremely under-rated and is possibly one of the most well trained actors that have taken the role, and succeeded with it. Even if there are some.. rather bad stinkers such as The forest and kill the moon.
