I think the best man won - David of course! He brings sexyness, charm and charisma into Doctor Who, performing with all the energy he has! And i want to say "Well Done" to him, for persuing a life long dream of playing the Doctor he is also SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sexy i am going to see him do Hamlet on 29th October ... wooooooooooooo

Oh yeah - well I did say I only saw it once - but that's not to say that she won't pop up again, afterall, Rose was gone for ever in that parallel universe and she came back. Didn't she say will I ever see you again, and I'm sure he said no. And how many times has Captain Jack been killed now? Not to mention the Daleks, thought they'd been destroyed at least twice.

she's not part time lord anymore, it would have killed her thats why the doctor erased all the memories from her

she's not part time lord anymore, it would have killed her thats why the doctor erased all the memories from her

Oh yes - passionate or what! Don't they make a great couple?

Incidentally, I've only watched it once, but if Donna is now part Time Lord, does that make her immortal (or at least live for much longer than humans)? If so, what a shame Rose couldn't have got a bit of that too, then when her one heart doctor pops off, the other one's still free. Also, does that mean Donna will reappear at some point? I still say that in the last episode Catherine Tate excelled herself, she actually became Donna - as opposed to Catherine Tate. This show should definitely win awards.

did you watch the doctor who confidential, the kiss between the doctor and rose behind the scenes was amazing i was like wow, they should have shown that one, if you haven't seen it watch it on youtube.

Yes, Catherine was brilliant, more than I can say for Freema Agyeman, she seemed very wooden compared to the talent around her. And Sarah Jane Smith, true to form "I'm sorry, please don't shoot", typical wimp, like the Dr's assistants used to be, always screaming and giving up. However, the acting all round was fantastic, and what a good idea to have two Doctors, so Rose got her man - my daughter doesn't see it this way though, to her it wasn't the 'real' Doctor. I am soooooo glad that the Dr didn't regenerate into someone else - and he's going to be in a Christmas special. Fab! Once again, Catherine Tate excelled herself when she was the Dr Donna - and dear old K9 too. Who could ask for more. I like the way that many of the recent guest stars had connections to all the old series. More please!

Catherine Tate was just great in this - what a pity she's not staying.

Oh my god!! What a fantastic end to a series! I was on tenderhooks all week and avoiding any news/spoilers. That was a killer for me. Absolutely brilliant that David is still with us. I know he'll leave one day but, for the time being, am so pleased that it wasn't last night. I am hoping that, after his spell doing Hamlet, he'll miss doing Doctor Who and decide to come back for at least one more series under the new "supremo" Steven Moffat as he comes from "just down the road" from David in Scotland. When David does decide to call it a day I hope we get given enough notice to prepare ourselves for his departure and that it will be, in his words "a fantastic end". Also, what a wonderful idea to have all the Doctor's friends around the console. Billie was, of course, just brilliant. And so lucky to get the best part of last night's show - what else, kissing David for ages. He's just the best ever!!

david tennant has got to be the best doctor, looking forward to saturdays episode i really hopes he doesn't regenerate, i know he's got to one day but not just yet, not ready to let him lol.

I never thought anyone could do as good a job as Jon Pertwee, then Tom Baker came along and WOW! But even he has to give way to DT! My future husband is just delicious

Jon Pertwee is tops for me. Both he and Tom Baker were fantastic characters, but David Tennant comes in really close behind. Thought Davison was poor and Colin Baker atrocious, but to be fair, they weren't helped by tired plots and cheap sets. Loved Rose and Sarah-Jane, but I'd have to go for Peri as the best assistant because of the way she crammed herself into those outfits. Bloody marvellous.

Dr Who is timeless - well, he is a Timelord. I think it's the concept we all love, but the characters play a huge part as you have to care for them. I seem to recall Billie Piper herself say she had been asked to reappear - who knows. David Tennant is just very likeable. I adored Jon Pertwee - wonder if his son, Sean, every had thoughts of taking the role - they are very alike. I also loved Tom Baker. I don't think anyone can say who is the greatest Dr Who - aside from one or two notable exceptions, and depending on your age and maybe even sex, they were pretty much all wonderful - in their Time!

A fair way to compare and kind of invalidate this poll is to look at the polls of the best James Bond ever polls every time there is a new actor to play the part.

With those it's ALWAYS the current 1 (after they have done a couple of films) that end up being polled as the best ever!. Brosnan was rated as the best ever. I's say we can all be millionaires by putting money on which is the best Bond ever say spring 09 (after Craig has done his second film and it's available on dvd by then) when they will likely do another "greatest ever Bond poll". And rest assured Craig will come top then. Even though Connery is gererally thought to be the best.

I think it's a very similar thing with the greatest Doctor Who poll's. Where the current 1 will pretty much always win even though few can argue that in general Tom Baker is the greatest.

SPEAKING OF WICH ANOTHER DOCTOR THE BEST IS STILL TOM BAKER BUT TO COME TO COLIN BAKER WITH HIS TRIBUTE SUCH A DAZZLING COAT OF MANY COLOURS COMES TO BE ONE OF THE BEST DOCTORS I JUST WISH I HAD THE TRIAL OF A TIME LORD STARRING COLIN BAKER DAMN IT FOR THE DOCTOR IM EXPECTING IT OF THE DOCTOR THOUGH

TOM BAKER IS THE BEST
BEST EPISODES-THE SEEDS OF DOOM-PYRAMIDS OF MARS-DESTINY OF THE DALEKS AND TERROR OF THE ZYGONS AND REVENGE OF THE CYBERMEN AND ROBOT.

TOM BAKER RULES

Sorry,but i'm biased!
Has to be David Tennant for me,seeing as he's a fellow Scot!
That smile....could melt the ice caps!And the energy he has....just a brilliant actor all round!
And of course,he oozes sex appeal for me....
I'd like to work with David!
RTD...need another Scot on the show?...call me...

I think for many people, their favourite Doctor is their first Doctor. Jon Pertwee was mine, but I was only 7 when he handed over to Tom Baker, and TB was my favourite until Christopher Eccleston took the role. I have a very excited daughter, as the 7th Doctor, along with Ace, will be visiting our local department store in a few weeks time!

my top 5 dr would be tennant mccoy mcgann pertwee and baker ,choosing between them is difficult. if you were too watch baker in the brain or morbius/ pyramids of mars /the tallons of weng chiang.then pertwee in terror of the autons ,the daemons,mcgann on radio in shada/horror of glam rock/human resourcess.mcoy in parradise towers/silver nemessis,all of these in their own way are as good or better than some of tennants work.so too say that one dr is better than the other is very hard.so i will name my favourite eppisodes as a compromise, 1st shada 2nd arc in space 3rd the brain of morbius 4th the daemons 5th the happiness patrol then last but not least blink and 42.any of these can change place depending on the mood i am in but shada that will allways be number 1

He is just so funny he is my favorite by far.

for myself there can only be one true dr who and that is jon pertwee.he is what the character is all about.but of course he has passed away and so is out of voters minds whereas david tennent is right in peoples faces as he is the current doctor and will hopefully be around for a lot longer.tom aker would have been a close second for me as both of them were the first 2 drs to be filmed in colour which makes a lot of difference compared to the first 2 dr who.but lets not forget peter cushings 2 film roles as they were great for their time too.

Of course David Tennant should not have won - he won because he is the most recent, that's somewhat obvious.

I doubt anyone will ever be able to top the definitive Dr Who Tom Baker, although the grainy William Hartnell episodes were the darkest and best.

The production standards of the new series, with the huge budget are vastly superior, but they would be. Despite some lightweight stories in the original series, it had far more substance. The new series is too "comic book".

The original series though, it should be added, got rather repetitive the longer it went on.

PS - David Tennant is perfectly fine in the role - nothing against him.

I never spotted any sexual attraction between the Doctor and his assistants in the classic Who, but that maybe because I was a child myself and never fancied any of the Doctors! I hold my hands up to having a huge crush on Christopher Eccleston, but I was going through a rough time then and the programme got me through it.

My experience of kids and DW now is only though my 6 yo daughter and her friends and they are fearless when it comes to the Doctor's enemies! She's forever playing at being Daleks etc at school!

Tom Baker was very emotional, and as far as I can remember there has nearly always been some form of attraction between Doctors and female assistants. Young people today are so much more wordly wise - my daughter adores David Tennant (she's 12), she would quite like to marry him! I am sure Tom Baker was seen as a sex symbol by many of the older female viewers. I mean, look at Leila - she was always half dressed! I'm sure a lot of dads watched Dr Who just to see her. Years ago there was a definite line between children's and adult TV - childrens' shows were just not made to be sexy, it was probably only when The Monkeys arrived on the scene that children's TV began to openly attract young female viewers. Nowadays, most young people are glued to the soaps, from the age of about 10 or 11, mostly for the love story lines, hence there being so many more young actors in them all now. There were hardly any youngsters years ago, and if there were, they never got their own storylines.

Anyhow, that's getting off the point. I think some children are still scared of Dr Who - but they spend so much time playing very scary computer games, and watching other scary shows - like Harry Potter - it all depends upon the demeanour of the child. Also, children are far more sophisticated and knowledgeable these days, far more grown up at 10, 11 or 12 than I was at 14, 15 and 16. I work in a secondary school and can see no comparison whatsoever to students now, compared to when I was at school, they are mostly adult (or think they are) at around 11 or 12!

Dr Who is aimed at a much wider audience these days, it is not made as a children's programme, hence the love story line. Still think it's a fab show.

A lot of people feel frustrated by the fact most of the revived series is based on earth. According to RTD that is down to budgetary restraints. I suppose they take the view that it is better to spend the cash on the cgi rather than on elaborate sets.

This new emotional and 'feeling' Doctor that started with Chris Eccleston and has been developed further by DT doesn't sit well with me. For me, the Doctor shouldn't be a sex symbol and the unrequited love of Martha's was just nauseating! I must also be one of the few who didn't like The Girl in The Fireplace- the Doctor in love? What was that about?

I love Murray Gold's version of the theme song. The soundtrack to the third series is out on 5th Nov btw!
