Great thread - I shall continue hijacking it.

As a little boy, I recall Patrick Troughton as being the earliest Doctor that I remember.
(If I'm honest, I only recall hiding behind the sofa as I was so scared.)
Tom Baker was definitely the best (imho).
I stopped watching it for many years but started again when my boy was old enough to enjoy it.
He grew up with David Tennant as the Doctor. It renewed my interest and Russel Davies' writing was just perfect for the time and a new generation of viewers.
(Matt Smith was pretty good too, I thought.)
I've struggled with Mr. Capaldi though, after a pretty dire first appearance. I have recorded all the latest series to date but can't find the impetus to get started watching them.
Anyone want to suggest why I should?
