(Anonymous) 2013-11-06 02:22 am (UTC)(link)Second Doctor: I love Two, Patrick Troughton is a great actor and the first one to really kick off who the Doctor is, since at the beginning the makers didn't know what kind of show they wanted to do. I'd recommend Tomb of the Cybermen, and The Mind Robber. (with ther earlier serials you have to deal with oftentimes slooow 60s pacing, but I think the moody atmosphere of TotC is great, with some good quiet Doctor+Companion moments, and MR has some fun surreal stuff.)
Third Doctor: not my personal favourite since most of his serials were set on Earth, but he was a fun character and I liked his interactions with his companions. Terror of the Autons (includes some species/characters used in the modern series, and Jo is precious) and/or The Three Doctors (just like it says on the tin) might be good to get a feel for his era.
Fourth Doctor: I love Four, who was one of the most obviously 'alien' Doctors, and the most iconic. He had a looooong run, so dropping in at different seasons will give you a different feel. I quite like his first ep, Robot (the SFX are so hilariously appallingly bad that it makes me lol, but it's a brill introduction to the new regeneration). I like most of his eps with Sarah Jane, but mythologically speaking Genesis of the Daleks is the most important. City of Death is one of the most popular eps (pacing is a bit slow, but the story's good, and he has a Time Lady companion!)
Fifth Doctor: bless his little heart, he spent his entire run giving his sad puppy eyes a workout. The most 'human' and gentle Doctor also had a ruthless streak. Also a very full TARDIS. The Black Orchid has only 2 parts so it's easy to watch, and his run also had The Five Doctors.
The Sixth Doctor: I don't much care for him, alas; lots of backstage TPTB meddling in his era, if I remember correctly. He was the most loud and 'vicious' of the Doctors, and many people think he really only realized his full potential in the audiobooks. The Two Doctors, however, I quite enjoyed!
Seventh Doctor: I love Seven. He was little and quirky but with a stone-cold master-manipulator core, and his relationship with his juvenile delinquent companion was awesome. The Happiness Patrol is bizarre and fun (and a swear the Hunger Games folks were strongly inspired by the designs). The last few eps of the season are considered the best, but imo they work best with the whole of his era behind them, so I wouldn't watch them until you've watched the rest if you decide you like Seven.
Eighth Doctor: No series, just a tv movie of the 'backdoor pilot' variety. Much panned by fans but I unabashedly love it. Any mythology things you disagree with can be waved off as post-regeneration loopiness, and he's so genteel and pretty and his TARDIS is the most lovely. He has got a great run of audio books if you want more of him.
