Tom Baker was no Jon Pertwee either. Each "Dr" brings something different to the series. Some for the better, and some for the worse. I thought Tennant did a reasonable job with the character. At least he didn't treat it like it was serious TV. He had about the same attitude as Tom Baker. Nothing like Colin Baker *<[:op .
I'll see your Pertwee and raise you Peter Cushing, from the movie, IIRC. :) Tennant has this gushing "Wow Humanity" thing going on that Baker didn't, and where is the trademark apparel (scarf? jellybabies?)?
I thought Cushing was "ok", but.......................................... Who was that guy that did the [ I think it was Fox ] movie about the turn of the century. Didn't care much for him either.
Which one, the "old" Doctor or the "new" doctor. Oddly enough I thought he might have been tapped for the new serial, Eckleston was ok,but is accent was tough to cut through at times.
Back about 2000 I think Fox made a Dr. Who movie [ made for TV ] about the change in Millennium. I can't remember who played the Dr but I think it was an American. Anyway, the movie was "opk" but......................................
Those were only trademarks of Tom Baker.Did you notice that as his stint as the Dr. his scarves got longer? [ I think Jon Pertwee did use a white scarf though, may be wrong. ] Colin Baker had a sprig of parsley as his decoration. Never saw any of the fellow that came after him.
I had not noticed that about his scarf, but I do recall that one Dr. Who Comic book had the instructions for knitting one just like it.
If I recall a documentary I saw somewhere the last scarf was something like twelve feet long. Made for Tom by a fan. Said he hated the thing cause he was forever tripping over it.
I think all the Dr's had an all abiding love for humanity.
Certainly it's a reason for them to be around humans so much, but his has gone over the top, IMO.
Real aliens probably wouldn't work for scale. *<[:oD -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
