Ten go in! One comes out!
For Nerd Nite 1.2 I am going to settle once and for all who the best Doctor is, at least until Matt Smith becomes the Doctor starting April 4. In the spirit of March Madness I have constructed a bracket and have seeded the Doctors based on how many stories aired in their reign.
#1 – Tom Baker (Fourth Doctor 1974-1981) – 42 Stories
#2 – David Tennant (Tenth Doctor 2005-2010) – 36 Stories
#3 – William Hartnell (First Doctor 1963-1966) – 29 Stories
#4 – Jon Pertwee (Third Doctor 1970-1974) – 24 Stories
#5 – Patrick Troughton (Second Doctor 1966-1969) – 21 Stories
#6 – Peter Davison (Fifth Doctor 1981-1984) – 20 Stories
#7 – Sylvester McCoy (Seventh Doctor 1986-1989) – 13 Stories
#8 – Christopher Eccleston (Ninth Doctor 2005) – 10 Stories
#9 – Colin Baker (Sixth Doctor 1984-1986) – 8 Stories
#10 – Paul McGann (Eighth Doctor 1996) – 1 Story
Now, you vote. Argue, convince, rant in the comments below, but send your official votes to doctorwho@ironic1.com.
First up, brackets 1 and 2: Sylvester McCoy vs. Paul McGann and Christopher Eccleston vs. Colin Baker. I’ll be taking votes on these until noon on Sunday and then I’ll post the next round. To find out who makes the Final Four you will have to come to Nerd Nite 1.2 at the Teatro Zuccone this coming Wednesday, March 24 at 7:30.
Let the nerd fight begin!
