How things have changed

The Guardian has an article ranking all the different Dr Who’s: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/article/2024/may/03/the-greatest-doctor-who-ranked

At number 17 is a link to the video of a wonderfully silly Comic relief skit from the 1990’s which has cameos from Rowan Atkinson, Richard E Grant, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant and Joanna Lumley all playing Doctors. Jonathan Pryce makes a splendid Master. All good fun but I don’t believe it could be made now….

spoiler alert

as it pokes fun at men taking on female body parts and the feelings of men turning into women. TRAs would complain vociferously. Watch to the end, and decide for yourself.

I haven't watched the video yet, but they have the wrong doctor in the No 1 spot.

They do indeed!

Dalek bumps

Absolutely. Tom Baker for the win. And Matt Smith should have been no.2

I’d go with Capaldi at number 2, but I think we can all agree that anyone who doesn’t think Tom Baker is number one clearly isn’t worth taking seriously 😁

Edit: Jo Martin was the female Doctor we all hoped for but didn’t get.

Agree!

I can agree to that. Loved Capaldi too. And tbh, preferred Clara to Amy and Rory.

I'm glad to discover that I'm not the only one who believes Tom Baker should be in the No 1 spot!

The bit that struck me was the reaction of the Joanna Lumley Doctor. Firstly by not realising the regeneration had been into a woman’s body, presumably as that was unthinkable. Then by rubbing his/her hands lustfully up and down his/her body and saying “I’ve always wanted to get my hands on one of these” - plainly still from the male point of view he always had been. Malaga Airport or what?

BTW, I watched Dr Who from the start and my favourite Doctor is Patrick Troughton.

Mine too

Happy with Tom Baker for one, of the new doctors I liked Eccleston the most, by far. Carpaldi would have been great but the scripts were dire.
