69Doctor Who - The Ninth Doctor
After sixteen years off air, Doctor Who returned to BBC in 2005 with Series One of what would become the regenerated franchise, with writer and producer Russell Davies at the helm. Christopher Eccleston is a well known British actor who took up the role when the series finally came back in 2005. Unlike many of the previous Doctors, Eccleston was not a Doctor Who or science-fiction fan before being approached about the role in 2004.

75Doctor Who - The Tenth Doctor
Perhaps the best-loved and most recognisable Doctor since Tom Baker's famous Fourth, the Tenth Doctor David Tennant has proven that the success of Series One was not a fluke. In fact, if anything, the young and handsome Doctor has brought in fans from all across the spectrum. NOTABLY - Women!

73Doctor Who - The Seventh Doctor
After the sudden departure of Colin Baker's Sixth Doctor, a new regeneration appeared in 1987. The Seventh Doctor, played by Scots actor Sylvester McCoy, plays a very different sort of Doctor and has the dubious distinction of being the only Doctor to have been cancelled.

71Doctor Who - The Sixth Doctor
At the beginning of Doctor Who's third decade on the air, at the end of 1984, Peter Davison was leaving his title role as the Fifth Doctor. The UK's seemingly endless pool of good actors produced Colin Baker to take on the part. The new, seemingly more unbalanced than usual Doctor was portrayed amid a long decline in support for the show from both the public and the BBC.

76Doctor Who - The Fifth Doctor
With a new producer and a new Doctor, the series fully entered the new decade in 1982 with a young cast and an updated look. Very much unlike his predecessor Tom Baker, Peter Davison was already something of a star when he was selected to become the Fifth Doctor in 1981. Not quite yet 30 when he accepted the part, he is the second youngest actor to play the title character.

67Doctor Who - The Eighth Doctor
In a partnership between the BBC and FOX in the US, a television movie was commissioned, featuring an eighth incarnation of the Doctor in San Francisco, California. It did not, as some hoped, bring the weekly television serial back to the air in the UK, but did provide fodder for a whole bevy of new stories until the series returned nearly a decade later.

70Doctor Who - The Fourth Doctor
When Tom Baker took up the mantle of portraying the still immensely popular and influential Doctor in December 1974, no one knew this Fourth Doctor would wind up in the role for longer than any other actor, and possibly become the iconic incarnation of the Doctor Who character, worldwide. Taking over from the Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee, Between then and his subsequent departure in 1981, Tom Baker transformed the role into one of the most influential rationalists in media through much of the 1970s

69Doctor Who - The Second Doctor
One of the greatest tragedies in TV History - loss of the Second Doctor footage The failing health of William Hartnell (the actor who portrayed the very First Doctor), led to one of the major keys to the longevity and continual interest caused by the Doctor Who series – regeneration. By 1966, the producers of the show had to come up with some way to keep on air.
