Blood for the Baron!

There is a site called "Vote for the Worst" that can have a massive effect on online polls, and almost certainly had a huge effect on American Idol a couple of years ago, when a truly dreadful performer (but fair do's to him for giving it a go) got through to the last few. I wouldn't be surprised if they were behind Colin Baker's high standing.

I agree with that about the underlying plot, especially the need to somehow tie everyone together that ever appeared in it during the last 5 years. However I thought that some of the one-off episodes were cracking.

Late posting to this topic! I have to go with Peter Davison partly because I grew up with him playing The Doctor and always remembered stories like Earthshock, Ressurection Of The Daleks and Caves Of Androzani. He had some great stories in a short period.

I do like Tom Baker who played him excellently and a friend of mine, who is a huge fan of Doctor Who, has recently got me watching Pertwee, who I have also enjoyed. David Tennant was good and Matt Smith isn't bad, but it's not real Doctor Who is it? Bring back stories that ran for weeks . . . I know they were slow sometimes, but they had charm
