I have a theory, the current doctor when you started watching is your favorite doctor. Would this apply to you?

Excelston was my first but I feel like the show really hit its stride with Smith and Tenant and theyre sort fo tied for my favorites

Nah, started with Eccleston, but Tennant is the best Doctor.

Tom Baker was my first and remains my favorite, so much so I actually cried when he appeared as the curator. For me it was a really emotional moment, stupid I know but it was like a direct road back to my childhood which for me , luckily was a largely happy time.

As a child that was the case for me, Tennant was what really captivated 12 year-old me back in the day. But now I have kinda gravitated toward a few.

2, 6 (in Big Finish), 7, 8 and 10 are my favourites out of all of them.

I have a weird problem. I start out not liking the new Doctor, but by the time they switch, they have become my favorite. Every time.

I absolutely hated Capaldi at first, but after the infinite loop prison episode, I couldn't imagine any other person ever being the doctor again.

Now I feel the same way about Jodie. She was such a fun Doctor that I'm actually sad to see Tennent back.

Nope. 4 was my first, faves are 12, 2 & 5. Hubs first was 9, but 10 is his Doctor.

I think this applies to a lot of people, but I don't like to pick a favourite, especially after listening to Big Finish stuff, coz each Doctor has their own quirks and whenever I try and settle on a choice, I get conflicted. If you forced me to pick thought I would say 4

Your theory kiiiiinda works for me. I started watching Classic Who, and the actor I started with is my favourite - Tom Baker.

I've been watching Nu Who from the beginning, and my favourite out of those actors is Peter Capaldi.
