Having now had a full season of Peter Capaldi under our belt, and with the Christmas Special right around the corner, it’s time to rank the men who have played the Doctor for the last 51 years. Who played the role the best? Who is the worst Doctor of all time? It’s a debate that’s been going on since the concept of regeneration was introduced, and will probably continue as long as the show is on the air. We’ve ranked the Doctor from all time worst to all time best. And no, Peter Cushing doesn’t count. Neither do Rowan Atkinson, Richard Grant, or Jim Broadbent. Sorry completionists. I know when Russell T. Davies brought this back he said it was all canon, even the radio plays, the comics and the weird and wacky bits from Red Nose Day.

But we have to draw the line somewhere. According to everything we are told, Capaldi is the reset Doctor, removing that pesky “12 regenerations” issue set forth in “The Deadly Assassin” and “Mawdryn Undead.” This means that the War Doctor and second David Tennant count, but not anyone else. So here we set forth the 14 Doctors as recognized by the show, in the order of least awesome to most awesome.
