I could never get into Dr. Who.
Colin Baker's tenure on the show itself was mostly terrible, as he himself would be willing to admit, but that's mostly due to the huge amount of executive meddling and nothing to do with his abilities as an actor. He was supposed to have nine seasons and a very well developed character arc that would change his Doctor from a bit of a jerkass to a much more sympathetic character, but this was aborted because the head of the BBC at the time didn't like him (it didn't help that he was sleeping with Baker's ex-wife). He was fired purely for this reason after two seasons in which he hadn't been given much autonomy in the first place.
However, his tenure on the Big Finish audio dramas is so well-loved that in a recent poll over people's favourite audio Doctor, Colin Baker won by a landslide. So make of that what you will.

I like Eccleston the best, I wish he'd stayed a little longer.
That said, the episode with Madam de Pompadour is amazing and that's Tennant's series.
I have never watched Dr. Who but David Tennant is handsome.

I really struggle to watch Dr Who as I can never quite tell whether the hammy acting and script is deliberately meant to be some kind of tongue in cheek tomfoolery, or whether it is actually just bad.
The hammy acting is definitely deliberate, at least in the new show. I suspect the scripts are too.
Need to watch Dr Who more considering the fact I've loved everything I've seen of it. Some of the old seasons used to air on the telly a few years back and even that was great.
