I'd better post the results to last week's poll asking who you thought the best Doctor Who is, was or will be, seeing as aficionados will have better things to do later this evening. On a good turnout of 130 votes...
Outright winner: Tom Baker - 34%
Honourable runners up: David Tennant - 22%; Jon Pertwee - 18%; William Hartnell - 13%
Also rans: Christopher Eccleston - 5%; Patrick Troughton - 5%; Paul McGann - 2%; Peter Davison - 1%; Colin Baker -1%; Sylvester McCoy - 0%; Matt Smith - 0%.
I couldn't help noticing that there is a strong correlation between the number of years each actor was in the rôle (taken from Wikipedia) and the number of people who voted for him, as illustrated by the following X-Y scatter graph:

What! No Peter Cushing?
Okay he wasn't a proper Time Lord as such but then Sylvester McCoy wasn't a proper actor and yet he was included in the poll ;-)
Personally feel John Pertwee was a better Dr Who than Tom Baker but I guess it depends on people's ages. We all grew up with different versions... same with James Bond, Star Trek too I guess.
JP: "Personally feel John Pertwee was a better Dr Who than Tom Baker but I guess it depends on people's ages."
I must admit that puzzled me. The prime Doctor Who watching age must be between 8 and 14 (median age 11) and Tom Baker was in to bat from 74 to 81 (median year 77) so people who voted for Tom Baker must have been born around 1966, i.e. slightly younger than me. I had always thought that my average reader was rather older than I am.
