    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 don't have any experience with pre-Eccleston Doctors so out of the three, Matt Smith does it for me in all the right ways.

    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.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Karl Urban
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    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.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    Baker will always be my favorite, although Tennant was damn good.

    This guy knows. Baker was easily the best!
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!
