If The Doctor were real, and not a fictional character, and you could be his assistant, which Doctor would you want to travel the universe with?
Hmmm... much as my favorite Doctor is Jon Pertwee, I think experiencing the sheer joy and exuberance of travelling with Tom Baker would have to win.
Remember, you have until March 31st. so ask away!

Date: 2010-03-07 07:55 am (UTC)Tom Baker is my favorite Doctor.
After that, it's Jon Pertwee, then, David Tennant.
Funny, as we pull away from Tennant's reign of
having been the Doctor, I still adore his episodes.
But, it's the classic years (1963 to 1981) that
I love best, as these were the episodes - the
first four Doctors - that I saw first.
I watched those episodes - and recorded them - on PBS
during the 1980's.
Watching them all for the first time was one of the
many things that made being in my 20's memorable.

Date: 2010-03-07 10:57 pm (UTC)Who.. I found it on PBS.. watched part 1 of " The Sontaran Experiment." I didn't like it, and didn't watch again.
Until fall of 1983. My partner at the time, George, saw how upset I was at events unfolding in my life back then.
" Get in bed and stopping carrying on. We can watch tv for a few hours."
" What's on?", I asked.
" I think Doctor Who is on now."
" Oh, no! I saw that once! It sucks!", I told him.
" C'mon. Give it a chance. Get in the bed.", he demanded,
pulling the covers off the side of the bed that I slept on.
I got in bed, our two cats joined us, and George turned on PBS -
channel 12.
Doctor Who was just coming on.
The episode was " The Time Monster.", starring Jon Pertwee, as the 3 rd Doctor.
I didn't like it at first. I had decided not to.
A third through the 2 hour plus episode, I began to like it.
Halfway through, I liked it more.
" How did you like that?", George asked me, right after the episode had ended.
" I loved it! Can we watch Doctor Who again next Saturday?" I asked, excitedly.
" Sure, but I thought you hated Doctor Who?", George smiled. He was very good at subtle sarcasm.
" Don't be such a cunt!", I said, and we both laughed.
That's the story of how I came to like Doctor Who.
" The Time Monster" will always be very special to me.
It was my first episode.
