I like these types of lists because there's always a recency bias. The 7th Doctor was ranked the best in the 90s but now he's viewed much less favorably. I hated the 12th at first and now he's one of my favorites.

Anyway here's Wonderwall

Best - 4th I mean obviously who else could it be?

10th/14th Yes I am combining them

3rd Criminally underrated

12th I absolutely love how 12 is more of a scientist

11th For his first two seasons at least

9th My first Doctor

5th I like the celery bit

1st Bitter old man, it works

15th Too soon to call it but so far so good

2nd Almost as good as the 1st

13th I think Jodie did the best she could with the horrendous writing she was given

7th No strong feelings on him

6th Other than his jacket I remember nothing about him

Worst - 8th That movie was hot garbage I'm not sorry, I don't count his cameos

There are two Bakers, Tom (4, with the long scarf) and Colin (6, with the multicolor dreamcoat).

Tom is a fan favorite. He holds the record for most episodes & seasons as the Doctor, though they were only half an hour then, and NuWho has muddied the definition of seasons with all the specials.

Colin has a more mixed reception. The show’s management was a bit of a mess when he was on the air, and his character was written as brash. His Doctor’s reception has improved with later audio stories.

For old timers like myself, Tom Baker was our first Doctor. He's the bar by which all others are judged by us.
