It looks odd in colour.
And, it seems that I didn't see your comment, I doubt I was even alerted to it. FB seems to be getting more selective. I’m convinced I’m missing stuff from other people too.

David Harewood: Next Doctor Who should be black or female - BBC News http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-39093558He's always been a white man! This is racist, sexist, fake news... And typical of the BBC! He's already an illegal alien!

I stopped watching during Matt Smith's run. Capaldi as the Doctor would not get me back and none of the mooted choices here would either.

There's no reason The Doctor shouldn't be female, or of some other race. It's fiction after all, and there is precedent within the who universe. But there's equally no reason why The Doctor *should* be any specific race or gender either. It's fiction after all. What The Doctor should be is whatever allows the best stories to be told be that a Scottish elderly man or an 18 year old Asian woman. Tokenism, which is what setting The Doctor's gender or race 'because it has to be' would be, is one of the worst reasons to do anything.

IMO He was one of the worst Doctors. Although the poor standard of the stories during his run might have had something to do with it.

Wobbly sets and polystyrene monsters aside, Genesis of the Daleks is pretty good (though I may be biased )

If I were asked to choose my "least favourite" Doctor, I would say it is Baker. Colin Baker. Never warmed to the character. Maybe that's just me.

I loved Doctor Who as a kid too, but the two Bakers were my least favourite Doctors. Patrick Troughton was probably my favourite.
I think Tom Baker's stories did get better later in his run as The Doctor once he'd managed to finally get off Earth and actually do some travelling in time and space. For me the UNIT years were the worst.
