27. It's hard to pick a *bad* Doctor.

David Tennant is up there on my list, along with Tom Baker. Part of it too is the script writing. Douglas Adams wrote a number of scripts in the Tom Baker era.

Sylvester McCoy IMO just had rotten luck to be the Doctor at the end of the first era with tiny budgets and not as good scriptwriting, Paul McGann had worse because Doctor Who never got recommissioned from the one-off TV film.
