That looks like the good EMH of Voyager and the good doctor of Enterprise.

Do I get a cookie?
Nope, only half a cookie. That's the the Doctor from Voyager and the Seventh Doctor from Doctor Who.

Or were you just making a joke that whooshed over my head...?

My first thought, when seeing the picture, was that it was Robert Picardo & John Billingsley.

But then, I'm not as familiar with Doctor Who.

Not a joke. I see a resemblance. An older version of John Billingsley.




The person in the image Caete posted is Slyvester McCoy who played the 7th doctor on Who.

Hartnell, Troughton, and Pertwee. Then came the clown who took every ounce of gravitas in the role of the doctor and burned it, ate the ashes, and pooped them into a London fatberg. Also, K9. Oh god, K9. WHY?

Quickly followed by the bystander Doctor who just went to planets, watched the people there get killed off and then would leave for the next snuff show. Colin's was saddled with bi-polar rage and and a clown wardrobe. Despite McCoy's buffonery and the BBC's hatred of the show, the new mysteries of the Doctor's past renewed my interest.

Hartnell - I watched his stores much later on and he's great as a caring yet stern grandfather. A great choice imo.
Troughton - His version was saddled with trying to keep the viewer's interest in a new take on the established character. A very tough job but he did it. His Doctor's hijinks aren't quite my taste but it works as he's not trying to imitate Hartnell.
Pertwee - The first Doctor I actually watched, back when it was on the air on the local NBC affiliate at the end of their broadcast day, before PBS got hold of DW. Stuck on Earth for budget reasons but more action oriented, it was a great hook for me.
Arsehole McGee - Most people's first Doctor. While we got more Sarah Jane and Leela (non cyclops version) we also got a lot of wtf.We got robodog macguffin for those times the writers were overusing the sonic screwdriver. We got to see the Doctor make Romana waste a bunch of her regenerations until she got an appearance that he liked ( a serious wtf to me).

I've met Pertwee and Colin and McCoy and all 3 were charming but Pertwee really made me feel special and important when a young me talked nervously to (in my brain) the first Doctor!

I'd take K-9 any day over Adric, Turlough, Tegan, Mel or Donna Noble...

I never got to watch most of the series so Tennant, Smith and Capaldi.

Special recognition goes to John Hurt.

Interesting perspective. In my mind, Tom Baker is THE Doctor. Not because I'm a Dr. Who fan, but because my only exposure to the show -- back in the day -- was when he was cast. Also, a friend of mine who was a fervent Who fan absolutely adored him.

Out of sheer desperation to watch something while Mrs. Beebo was immersed in the NFL Draft*, I selected Dr. Who on HBOMax. They start with Eccleston, and so far I'm enjoying this incarnation. Apparently David Tennant is next, and I'm looking forward to that. (The series also makes good use of my HBOMax. In a fit of madness, I subbed for the entire year. What was I thinking?)


*We usually watch TV together in the evenings, so the trick was to pick something that would not appeal to her. Since our tastes are pretty similar, that can be challenging at times. Dr. Who turned out to be a good pick because she has zippo interest in the show.
