For purposes of this poll, the War Doctor is not considered to be in the numbering, largely because I don’t feel like messing up the numbering after him. David Tennant’s severed hand/the MetaCrisis Doctor is also not considered a numbered Doctor.
You can vote for up to three Doctors!
William Hartnell (1st Doctor)
Jon Pertwee (3rd Doctor)
Peter Davison (5th Doctor)
Sylvester McCoy (7th Doctor)
Richard E Grant (9th Doctor/Scream of the Shalka)
Rowan Atkinson (9th Doctor/Curse of Fatal Death)
Christopher Eccleston (9th Doctor)
Jim Broadbent (11th Doctor/Curse of Fatal Death)
Matt Smith (11th Doctor)
Joanna Lumley (13th Doctor/Curse of Fatal Death)
Jodie Whittaker (13th Doctor)
Ncuti Gatwa (15th Doctor)

Easy because 3, 9, 11 are basically my top three anyway. Big love to 7 and 1 also.

I’m going with three, seven and thirteen, who are also generally my top three some of the time (it changes often) eleven comes close

Not having the even Doctors to pick from made this a lot easier. Seven 100%, but I love Three and Eleven.

Eleven and Three. Funny, since they couldn’t be more different.

Three, Nine, and Eleven. I also really enjoyed the Shalka Doctor but it’s a bit difficult to vote for him when he only has one story.

I do honestly wish I could have seen a season of Atkinson’s Doctor traveling with Emma and going up against Pryce’s Master a few more times…

Yes please!
I genuinely have a soft spot for Rowan’s Doctor ~ he pitches it just right, considering it’s a spoof.

Yeah, it’s a shame he didn’t get a chance to play it a bit more straight.
And Pryce did a good job as the Master, and feels a little more like a continuation of Delgato/Ainsley then Simm, really. To me, anyways.

Look at me! I’m obligated to pick 11!
But also 7, of course, because he’s great.
And I’ll pick 9 as well, but not the one you’re expecting. I’ll explain later…

Love Seven– one of my very favourites. Love One, love Five (on audio if not so much on TV!).

I’m waiting patiently for the ‘even Doctors’ pool to see the massacre wrought by Twelve and Eight

Is this just so people can’t say 4, 10, or 12, Doctors who are frequently popular?

True, he is, for the more into the expanded media types like the people on forums or discord for Doctor Who, but more generally to most people, he’s just that guy who didn’t get a full series.

I chose 15, 11 and 3. I haven’t seen much of 3 but from the very few stories I’ve seen he’s fun.

5 is my third favourite Doctor overall, and what little I’ve seen of 7 has firmly established him as a favourite. 11 is there because Matt Smith nails the Old Man in a Young Body vibe, and (while this is Dudman) the 11DCs are utterly brilliant.

You might even say you wanted to… even things out.
