Favourite Doctors continued - 6/1

As promised here is the rest of my favourite Doctors list

Number 6
Matt Smith - The 11th Doctor - 2010/????
Ok if putting Tennant 7th made people mad then I'm certain putting Matt 6th is going to make matters worse, though I will still stand by it. One of the main reasons that the 11th Doctor has beaten the 10th is because he is still currently The Doctor. However it comes down to more then that, Matt Smith has brought the stubborn ego of the Doctor back, the man who knows he is right and although he might sometimes miss the obvious is actually right to act so. With a brilliant tweed suit and cool bowtie he looks like a proffesor, which is exactly what a modern Doctor should look like. His strength is his knowledge not his sense of fashion. He also gets extra points because his Doctor has obviously had to follow the "holiest" of Doctors the 10th, and has recieved alot of undeserved hatred from 10 fans simply for that. So roll on 11, as I look forward to seeing more of his antics.

Number 5
Jon Pertwee - The 3rd Doctor - 1970/1974
Suave, elegant, cool and even deadly. Four words that can easily describe the 3rd Doc, Jon Pertwee's Doctor was the Bond of the Doctor Who. Banished to earth at the beginning of his incarnation the 3rd Doctor has to settle helping UNIT, and was also the first Doctor to face the Master (one of the characters most popular villians (I believe tied 2nd with Davros (Daleks being first of course))). Watching some Episodes you can tell that Pertwee is taking the role seriously. Everything the 3rd Doctor says is solid fact and his Doctor comes across as one of the most rational of them all.

Number 4
William Hartnell - The 1st Doctor - 1963/1966
"One day I shall come back, yes I shall come back". Oh Bill if only that was true...the first of the Doctors, THE DOCTOR if you will. Broadcasted in black and white he began travelling with only two school teachers and his granddaughter. The first Doctor was, and in my opinion still is one of the most mysterious incarnations. In the very first story we aren't even sure if we trust him, coming off as cold and uncarring (willing to kill in order to surivie) but eventually becoming a loving, heroic man who is now the same man Matt Smith is performing today. Without Mr Hartnell there wouldn't be Doctor Who.

Number 3
Tom Baker - The 4th Doctor - 1974/1981
Well it was no suprise to any Whovian he would be high on the list. With his massive scarf and love of jelly babies Tom Baker is the Doc everyone defines the role for, and its easy to see why as he played the timelord for 7 years. Do I really need to go any further as to why he's in my top 3?

Number 2
Patrick Troughton - The 2nd Doctor - 1966/1969
Now modern fans (one's who havent touched an old episode) might be saying "Oh no not another Black and white Doctor, why has he beaten 10", well I ask back "How could I not". Patrick Troughton not only was the first new Doctor who would have to carry the torch lit by William Hartnell, he was also the first to have to bring a new personality to the role. Not to mention the man is a joy to watch and you can tell that being a part of this programme was one of his crowning achievements in his life.

Number 1
Christopher Eccleston - The 9th Doctor - 2005
Ok now I'm guessing a lot of people are wondering "Why the 9th Doctor?" "Why did you choose him over 4 or 10?". Well its the oldest reason but is still the most valid...he was MY Doctor. When I began watching this brilliant show that has spanned for nearly 50 years it was Christopher Eccleston who was guiding me on that journey. He was my introduction to this great show, and with some fantasticly written episodes it was a great ride. He had everything that I believe should come out of the role, he was funny but serious, tragic but good natured. With his leather jacket, blue sonic screwdriver and coral themed TARDIS he was my gateway into the world of Who.

RYCloud's Top 11 - Doctors from Doctor Who 11 to 7

As promised here are my reasons for the order of my Doctors. As always we've these lists I will start by explaining the last (my least favourtie) and the first (my favourtie in everyway). Without delay lets begin with.

Notes - No audio plays are being taken into account, only televised stories.

Number 11
Paul McGann - The 8th Doctor - 1996
Now there is nothing with McGann's Doctor, in fact if it wasn't for the idiotic american plot line about the Doctor being Half Human I'd say he was perfect. The thing is though he only got one movie, one and that was it...which is sadly not enough to leave a lasting impression.

Number 10
Colin Baker - The 6th Doctor - 1984/1986
Now I know some Cynical people will immediatly believe they know why he is so low, they will jump straight to the coat. Well your wrong suckas. Colin is 10th on my list mainly because of poor script writng which only picked up near the end of his time in the role, he is still (like all the actors who have played the role) a brilliant Doctor.

Number 9
Sylvester McCoy - The 7th Doctor - 1986/1989
Already to number 9 and 6,7 and 8 are already gone down XD . McCoy is here simply because sometimes...even though I love the dark tone in some of his stories...he brought too much goofyness to him. Granted the Doctor is meant to be goofy but sometime the 7th was a bit too much.

Number 8
Peter Davison - The 5th Doctor - 1981/1984
What shall I say about Davison, he brought his own wonderful charm to the role. Of course all Doctors have done this so it isn't much of a valid point. He had wonderful stories and scripts but I always feel a sense that he felt overshadowed by Baker (who shall I remind those who dont know, played the role for a record 7 years) when playing the character. A great Doc all round though.

Number 7
David Tennant - The 10th Doctor - 2005/2010
Now this I know I'm going to recieve a lot of hate for, so may I ask people at least read before they kill. The 10th Doctor was great...he had the dark tone of the 7th and the humour and charm of the 4th, the problem is (and this might mainly be because of script writing) his mood could snap in a second. Another problem is that RTD built up to a messiah type character, so much so his fans still today feel the show would have been better off it just ended with his Doctor.

Look out for the next blog to find out my reasons for my placings of the other 6 Doctors.

Reasons for the lists

You look down at the bottom of my main page and you may have noticed some lists. Well when it comes to tops of things people tend to have reasons.

Well soon I will be revealing the reasons behind the lists staring with the only top 11, my Favourtie Doctors from Doctor Who.

Also stay tuned, for soon I will be giving my review on...SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD

Back from the dead, but not for the Media

Well its been awhile, seemed like I wasn't going to bother with this but if I start something I'll see it through.

So whats been going on in the world of RYCloud? Well my group has finally been sorted and we are doing Crush 40 once again (Huzzah!)

And besides that I've been having fun, stressing over work, enjoying driving and what not. So stay tuned as I plan to start doing reviews on games and films (both classics and new) whilst also talking random nonsense.

Till next time...Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast ;)

Music Video - Confused

Alright came in today to discover the groups have been changed again.

Is determined to sort out whatever is going on before the end of the day, going to ask Whitland whats going on because this is becoming a little annoying.

Music Video UPDATE

Change of plans, groups aint going to be moved.

Not to worry though, going to be doing a new video in a new group.

 

The song is now Blink 182's "What's My Age Again".

Music Video Project

All right so little to do and so much time, hang on....strike that, reverse it.

In my media I have been asked to plan a project to create...A SHRUBBERY!!!! Nah not really, its a music video. (and I was actually asked to plan it last year, go figure :P ). Rules of the game so to speak, make a music video for a song that doesn't have a music video.

Now anyone who knows me (but I will be amazed if they do, this is only my second blog post) knows that I'm a huge Sonic fan. Anyone who knows about Sonic knows that SEGA has a band called Crush 40 that makes the music. So being a fan I thought "no brainer, I'm doing a video for Crush".

Whats the song you ask....me and my group settled on "What I'm Made Of" (which is my personal fav).

On a slightly related note I actually, kinda made a music video for this already, its on my youtube account so go check it out if ya want.
