   i really liked Tom Baker as the doctor... i don't think any others have come   
   close... having said that, though, i do want to go back to the beginning and   
   see them all... i've seen a few of Jon, PeterD, and Colin but missed others up   
   until Christopher and have caught all of them since... i'm still undecided   
   about PeterC... i didn't like him in "Torchwood: Children of the Earth" but he   
   played a good politician and played it how i tend to see many politicians... i   
   just didn't like him in that role and i see the same or similar in his   
   rendition of the doctor and i'm just not sure i like it either...   
      
   Clara, on the other hand, like many of the past companions, is welcome any   
   time her heart desires ;) O:)
