The First Doctor

The Ninth Doctor

The Tenth Doctor
- Television Adventures
- With a new regeneration and a new face, much of the darkness of the Time War was able to be pushed further aside as the Doctor moved on with the amazing David Tennant at the helm.
The Eleventh Doctor
- Television Adventures
- Blending elements of David Tennant's Doctor with both the attitude of old and new, Matt Smith had a hard act to follow from the previous Doctor but he did an amazing job in the role.
The Twelfth Doctor
- Television Adventures
- Another Doctor that isn't as well liked among all the fans, Peter Capaldi's Doctor was meant to start off a new cycle of lives for the Doctor, so his turn was a riff on the original Doctor, making him more of a curmudgeon than the young explorers of the last few turns.
