1. William Hartnell
The First Doctor
Portrayed by William Hartnell (and Richard Hurndall in a TV special)
Tenure 1963–1966
Series Seasons 1 to 4


The Doctor was a somewhat unreadable, guarded figure, irascible, protective of young women who reminded him of his grand-daughter Susan, a brilliant but often short-tempered scientist and a keen strategist. Though far from invulnerable, he usually ran rings around lesser intellects.

2. Patrick Troughton
The Second Doctor
Portrayed by Patrick Troughton
Tenure 1966–1969
Series Seasons 4 to 6


The Second Doctor was warm and wise, a sort of "cosmic hobo," often as frightened of the alien menaces he faced as those around him. Often overtaken by events, he improvised his way out of trouble. But he also had a manipulative streak about him, too.

3. Jon Pertwee
The Third Doctor
Portrayed by Jon Pertwee
Tenure 1970–1974
Series Seasons 7 to 11


The Third Doctor cut more of a dashing figure than his predecessors, a dandy with a penchant for gadgets and martial arts, particularly Venusian aikido. His difficult relationship with the Brigadier softened to an easy mutual trust. He had a personal arch-enemy, the Master. Due to his exile by his own people, he spent most of his life on Earth and worked with the U.N.I.T orgnisation during this time.

4. Tom Baker
The Fourth Doctor
Portrayed by Tom Baker
Tenure 1974–1981
Series Seasons 12 to 18


The Fourth Doctor was something of a cross between Willy Wonka and the Mad Hatter, rarely without his signature scarf of incredible length. He was perhaps the most eccentric incarnation and progressed from bohemian vagabond to manic scatterbrain to a more mature and sombre figure.

5. Peter Davison
The Fifth Doctor
Portrayed by Peter Davison
Tenure 1981–1984
Series Seasons 19 to 21


The Fifth Doctor had a fondness for cricket. He was somewhat more nervous and less sure of himself than the two previous Doctors, though all the more heroic because of it. Like the Second Doctor, he often found himself backed into a corner and had to figure out way back once more.

6. Colin Baker
The Sixth Doctor
Portrayed by Colin Baker
Tenure 1984–1986
Series Seasons 21 to 23


The Sixth Doctor, grandiose and eloquent, sported a multi-hued wardrobe that looked as if designed by Christian Lacroix, had a manic personality and an acerbic wit which could shade into moral passion. He loved a good quote and rarely got caught off-guard by an enemy.

7. Sylvester McCoy
The Seventh Doctor
Portrayed by Sylvester McCoy
Tenure 1987–1996
Series Seasons 24 to 26


The Seventh Doctor, his voice touched by a Scottish burr, combined the vagabond nature of the Second and Fourth Doctors with the scientific brilliance of the First and Third incarnations. Armed with a keenly tactical mind, his personality deepened and darkened. He seemed, often, a demi-god walking amongst lesser beings, letting his companions know little, an avenging angel driven to eradicate evil at any cost. Of all the Doctors, he had arguably the most complex personality.

8. Paul McGann
The Eighth Doctor
Portrayed by Paul McGann
Tenure 1996–2005
Series Season 26


The Eighth Doctor showed a romantic and sensitive side not evident in the previous Doctors. More morally flexible than his predecessor, this Doctor suffered bouts of amnesia, first after his initial regeneration and again after the first destruction of Gallifrey following the the War with the Enemy.

9. Christopher Eccleston
The Ninth Doctor
Portrayed by Christopher Eccleston
Tenure 2005
Series Season 27


The Ninth Doctor, now a survivor of the Last Great Time War, displayed much of the playfulness of the Fourth and early Seventh Doctors, but also displayed a pragmatism which could at times appear callous. This Doctor also seemed very conscious of the effects his actions had on those around him. His attire was also considerably more conservative and less conspicuous than those of his predecessors and his accent and attitude more working class.

10. David Tennant
The Tenth Doctor
Portrayed by David Tennant
Tenure 2005–2010
Series Season 27 to 30


The Tenth Doctor's character was manic, that of an eccentric crackpot, a cross between the Fourth Doctor and the Ninth, with hints of the Seventh with the style of the Fifth and a fondness for Human pop culture reference. He had a serious side, but quite often his other wins out. He can act with inhuman ruthlessness. He was also noted to be very good looking, skinny and unintentionally rude.

Description

The Doctor is the central character in the science-fiction series Doctor Who. To date, numerous actors have officially played the role in the television series, with these changes being explained by his ability to regenerate.



This list covers the actors who have played the time lord in the offical canon and give some small details about the incarnation they played.
These facts only cover the televised appearences of The Doctor and rule out his role in various written and dramatised spinoffs.


I am working on more lists to add to this series.
