The fourth Doctor, Tom Baker. Thanks for making me realize how fucking old I am. ---

I’m totally straight but if I gotta switch teams I’m goin’ with Capn’ Jack. ---

Since I dearly love my husband and I’m sure he would understand… I have to go with Captain Jack. Fun with no entanglements. Eccleston/9 and Tennant/10 would engender more of a desire for long term commitment. ---

Ten. Oh, my, yes, Ten. He’s gorgeous. Oddly, Captain Jack does nothing for me. ---

I voted Rory, since he does it for me on just about every level, and I figured everyone was going to vote for Ten anyhow. But now that I think about it? Captain Jack really is the best choice. He’s gorgeous, of course, but even better, I think he’d find you gorgeous too. Everything gets him hot. Men, women, young, old, short, tall, fat, thin, virginal, experienced, green skin, blue skin, scales, wings, horns - you know he’s had them all. And I’ll bet he knows just how to make it fun for every last one of them. Old series, I want Five. I want Five in any way he’ll have me. And Peri. And, occasionally, Turlough too. All at once. _off to watch Planet of Fire_ ---

> [@Mrs.Cake](#): > > Gotta be Doc 9. Love Eccleston anyway and his Doctor is still my favorite. \>snip!\< Off-topic - for anyone else who likes Eccleston and Jacobi, you really ought to see “Revenger’s Tragedy”. In fact, I need to see it again. **Mrs. Cake** , we were seperated at birth! 😃 Nine is always/still my favorite doc. I’d drop the Divemaster like a hot rock if Eccleston were ever to appear in my sights. I have ‘Revenger’s Tragedy,’ too, by the way. As a matter of fact, I now have a big enough collection of Eccleston I can have my own film festival! Back on topic - I adore Tennant and Barrowman both, but neither of them rev my motor like Eccleston does. ---

While we’re discussing non-Doctor Doctor stuff that revs our motors…I just watched “Fright Night” this week. Pretty forgettable for the first hour unless you’re a Colin Farrell fan, but David Tennant just steals the show as a trashy magician who’s channeling something between Russell Brand and Captain Jack Sparrow. If you’ve ever wanted to see the Doctor in leather pants (and not much else!) you owe it to yourself to check it out. It’s got some great one-liners, too, some of which are almost Doctor-esque. ---

He was good in that, [and funny](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5h58VZmuL4). The odd thing: I find David Tennant as the Doctor devilishly sexy, and he’s sexy as the magician, but “just” David Tennant not so much. He’s still very cute, but he’s so skinny and so awkward that it only really works for me when united to the Doctor’s self-effacing near omniscience or the magician’s cockiness. The nude pics of him on the Internet really don’t do much at all.
