vivdunstanI've been a member of Doctor Who fan forum Gallifrey Base since it started. And before then its predecessor Outpost Gallifrey. As part of my profile there I listed my favourite Doctor etc. And thought that might be of interest here too. Some of my answers fluctuate with time, but most are pretty stable.
My favourite Doctor is David Tennant, specifically the Tenth Doctor version rather than the Fourteenth Doctor, who I felt was pretty unnecessary, albeit likeable, and also handled badly re the bi-generation after. My second favourite Doctor is Tom Baker. Followed by Paul McGann, due purely to the Big Finish audios.
My favourite companion is Sarah Jane Smith. Others I'm fond of include Romana I, Ace and Clara.
My favourite Master fluctuates, but - and again in part due to Big Finish audios - is currently Derek Jacobi. Even if he was barely on screen in that specific role.
My favourite Classic Doctor Who story is City of Death. I watched this on original UK broadcast in 1979, at a very young age, and was awestruck. It was many years before I saw it again, but I had a vivid memory of a spaghetti-faced man and witty goings on in Paris.
My favourite New Doctor Who story is the two-parter The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances. Though I also have a very soft spot for The Girl in the Fireplace, Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead, Blink and Human Nature / The Family of Blood. Yup, I really like the original David Tennant era. And also early stories written by Steven Moffat.
