Thus far I've seen all of the new series and I'm slowly making my way through the originals... William Hartnell was quite a shock after Eccleston, Tennant, and Smith's versions of the character. A friend of mine is further along in the original series, and she really likes Troughton; in her words, he has "swaggar". She says (and so far I agree) that the Doctor himself is such a great character that she can't really pick a favorite. She just loves the Doctor and all of his faces as a whole. :)
I'd like to know who everyone's favorite companions or side characters are. In the new series, I've come to like Amy and Rory very much- probably more than I've liked any of the other new series companions (even though I've liked all of the main ones- Rose, Martha, Jack, Donna, even Mickey :) ). Lady Christina was interesting, I was sad that she only got the one episode.
As far as the old series, I've only seen Susan, Ian, and Barbara. Susan doesn't ever seem to do anything except giggle or scream and cry, there's very little middle ground. Ian's alright and I do like him, but Barbara is much more interesting. She grows from a stereotypical damsel in distress to a much stronger, take-charge kind of character, even though the Doctor and Ian treat her like she's not capable of much.
Now, I'm torn between Troughton (who, no offense to Billy Hartnell, was the first truly "Doctor-y" Doctor, and the one by which all subsequent Doctors took their lead) and Tom Baker again, though Matt Smith is definitely shaping up to be one of my all-time favorites.
..chicken in town!
Seriously. Who are you people to choose anyone else?
There's this thingy called "teh internet" - perhaps you should look into it.
