| + | |||
| + | Christopher Eccleston has a big telephone booth to fill when he regenerates as the new and officially ninth Doctor this week. The first Doctor to hop through time in his TARDIS was William Hartnell, a scowly actor who played the role from the 1963 premiere of Doctor Who until 1966. Patrick Troughton played the Doctor in checked pants until 1969. The third Doctor was Jon Pertwee, who took a more flamboyant and hedonistic approach to time travel from 1970 to 1974. Curly-haired Tom Baker, most Who fanatics' favourite Doctor, battled the Daleks from 1974 to 1981 with his long trademark scarf and toothy grin. Next up Peter Davison (1982-1984). The sixth Doctor was Colin Baker (1984-1986), whose controversial portrayal of a seemingly bipolar Doctor nearly led to the long-running series being scuttled for good. Sylvester McCoy, a stage comedian who was the show's most enigmatic Doctor, played the role from 1987 to its cancellation in 1986. The eighth Doctor, Paul McGann, appeared only in a 1996 made-for-TV movie. J. Kelly Nestruck, with information from www.whosdw.com | ||
