If I were to be facetious, I'd definitely say that Sylvester McCoy
put the "Tard" into "Tardis". He was highly annoying as The Doctor.

I also agree that (for me at least), Tom Baker is the best; I
especially like "The Pyramids of Mars", featuring Sutekh The Destroyer!

Having said that, I don't remember THAT many Tom Baker episodes because
I was still VERY young when he started (1974?) and quite young when
he finished ('81 or '82?).

I have heard people say many Dr Who fans tend to prefer the actor
who was playing The Doctor when they were kids - probably about 10 years
old or so. Certainly it's true in my case.

"Blake's Seven" (BS) was also good in a rather bare, low-budget kind of way.
Avon and Orac (the irritable, arrogant Perspex supercomputer) were my
favourite characters. Colin Baker featured in at least one episode, as
did Michael Sheard (who was also in Doctor Who IIRC) who was best known
to my age group as Mr Bronson on "Grange Hill". Also David Haig from
"The Thin Blue Line" appeared in both "Blake's Seven" and "Doctor Who".
Also, Servalan (in BS) had sexy shoes on sometimes. Which was nice.
