[quote=“technogeekagain, post:22, topic:11476”]And there’s an imprinting effect; we tend to judge all the other actors playing The Doctor by how well they fit the personality we first encountered him as.[/quote]I must be an oddity, then - the first Doctor I saw was Tom Baker, and he eventually turned out to be one of my least favorite Doctors. Recently, I recently went back and watched the entire series, missing episodes and all (audio + stills on those), and found that of the original eight Doctors, Pertwee was my favorite. He comes across as one of the best Doctors to me (the episodes he’s in, not so much - but then, most of Hartnell and Troughton’s episodes stunk, too).
