Happy Birthday, Chris!

We have another Doctor Who birthday today. It's the birthday of Christopher Eccleston whom we all know as the Ninth Doctor.
He can be seen as an actor in different films including "Elizabeth" or "28 Days Later" but he appeared in different TV series as well. Chris also works on the radio or on theatre stages.
Happy Birthday, Christopher Eccleston!

What will you remember of the different Doctors?

I wondered what you will remember of the different Doctors?
I only know three of them because I haven't seen the older episodes of Doctor Who but I can tell you what I will remember of the Doctors 9-11 which were played by Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and now Matt Smith.
The Ninth Doctor played by Christopher Eccleston looked always a bit sad and like he felt the weight of the whole universe on his shoulders but I really liked his humor. He was really funny and the scene when he first met Rose will always stay in my head. I think he was more serious than the Doctors after him.
What I loved about the Tenth Doctor played by David Tennant was his smile. He really has a gorgeous smile and you want to smile along. Another thing I will remember is him saying "Allons-y". That was always great and who can forget this epic scene before his regeneration when he visited all his friends for the last time.
I really like that the Eleventh Doctor played by Matt Smith sometimes looks like a child when he finds something interesting. He doesn't say "Geronimo" very often in the new series which I also like.
Well that was it for now. Maybe you want to tell me what you like about the different Doctors and what you will remember of them.

The changing actors for the Doctor

I think it's a quite fascinating concept for a TV show to invent a charakter who can come back again and again in a different form because of the regenerations. It's something that can guarantee a long life of a show if it's made well.
I only know the three current actors who played the Doctor because I was too young to watch it when it aired originally but I have to admit I like all three of them. Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith all gave the role of the Doctor a different twist but I think there are also some similarities between the differnt versions of the Doctor.
It's true that David Tennant is the Doctor for most of the people but I think that's also because he played the role for the longest time and we are just so used to him. But also Christopher Eccleston and now Matt Smith play(ed) the role very good and it's just great entertainment.
I really hope the show will continue for a long time but we have nearly reached the end of the regeneration ability of the Doctor. So lets hope he won't change that fast again.
