    Absolutely.

    I started watching with Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy, so unfortunately they were my earliest memories of the show. But discovering the earlier Drs, paricularly Tom Baker has been great.

    So

    Favourite Dr: (Old Series) Tom Baker, (New Series) Not sure, i liked early Matt Smith a lot more than later.
    Favourite Story: Hmmm Probably (Old) Talons of Weng Chiang (New) Blink or The Beast Below
    Favourite Companion: (Old) Leela (New) Martha maybe by dint of ultimately not making a bad impression on me.

    See, as may be obvious, I actually hold some of McCoy's tenure as some of the best of Classic Who. I think we can all agree that stories such as Time and the Rani and Delta and the Bannermen were rather rubbish, but then you get absolute gems such as Remembrance of the Daleks, Ghost Light, Silver Nemesis, and even Battlefield and Survival.

    The 7th Doctor audio dramas, in particular, tend to be of an excellent quality and well worth listening to.

    I know that I'm less expert in all things Who than others here in the thread, but one of my favorite stories is the one off episode "Blink".

    I was actually a bit scared by that episode and that kind of thing never happens to me.

    The premise of "Blink" would actually work quite well as a stand alone horror movie without all the time travel bits. Probably the best scary episode of new Doctor Who along with "Midnight".

    Big Finish doesn't have the rights/permission from the BBC to use any NuWho Doctors, at least yet.

    That's a shame to hear. I'd say, if they were willing to go that route, John Hurt'd be willing to do a few as the War Doctor. I'd say a few people'd love that, and i certainly wouldn't mind it myself.

    Tennant seems likely to be up for the odd bit, here and there, to me and Smith, eventually, after enough time has gone by since The Time of the Doctor.

    Would love if they could find the technicality of using Hurts' War Doctor, just because, though part of new series, comes after McGanns' 8th, and is technically therefore before Ecclestons' 9th, soooo...

    Maybe not, but, could be nice.

    Or, set a certain amount of time after The Day of the Doctor perhaps, and let New Doctor stuff go ahead.

    I know that Tennant and Smith are both game for BFA.
    Not sure about Ecc's or Hurt. I'd love that though.
    Heck Moffat even wrote large gaps with Smiths timeline just for that.

    Nick Briggs even said he'd be happy to work on NuWho stuff.
    I suppose it's a matter of time till the BBC lets them in.

    Would that be to do Daleks and Cybermen then? Yeah, that'd be pretty cool, add some nice authenticity to proceedings.

    Lot of gaps with War Doctor, many an adventure, before Ten and Eleven got involved, so much to explore there, and, yes, the many, many years left unshown for Eleven lend themselves to it too.

    But, isn't Nicholas Briggs the voice of the Daleks and Cybermen in the modern Doctor Who as well, or is this another person?

    Oh, alright, awww, that is cool. Must be something else, be one behind the scenes, creating, producing work and handling, as well as being very much front and centre of main product.
