However, I don’t feel his stories were as fleshed out as say Tom Bakers, or Pertwees were. I enjoy Davison as an actor, he was terrific in “All Creatures Great & Small”, and I loved his cameo in “Hitch-Hikers” I have to admit, he’s at the bottom of my list of favourites ( sorry, someone had to be there )īut I feel this is largely due to the writing and production of his 3 seasons, and not so much his actingĪt least half of his episodes were sub-par in my opinion. Just a quick few notes on Peter Davison and how I felt about his run.
My favorite serials were: Mawdryn Undead, Earthshock, The Visitation, and Time Flight. This started with Adric in Kinda, went through several permutations, and actually ended with Turlough doing it in Fronitios. His catch phrases were “Brave heart, Tegan”, “I wonder…”, and “Now that shouldn’t have happened.” There is an ongoing joke with him placing a coin in his hand and using it to make a decision, but either there are two coins, or he goes against the coin’s choice.
(If Two had done that, none of them would ever have gotten back home!) At more times than any of his predecessors, he invited people into the TARDIS, even for just a short hop. He is known for letting Adric die, destroying the Sonic Screwdriver, and for having too many companions. Played a second role (Omega in Arc of Infinity)Īlso, he faced Cybermen, the Master, Daleks, Silurians and Sea Devils, but not the Sontarens. There are some things all the Doctors seem to do in their run, and this is the tick sheet (checklist) for the Fifth Doctor: (actually, I saw a marathon of Logopolis and Castrovalva the first night I got to see a complete story, and I was hooked.) I liked how he was more soft-spoken and laid back, and not as confrontational as Pertwee or Tom Baker. Peter Davison was and always will be “My Doctor”, as I started watching at the very beginning of his run.
