Well, Tom Baker is definitely THE Doctor as far as I'm concerned. But I'm an "old school Whovian" from childhood - I've seen most of the series or read the novelisations of the stories that don't exist on film any more.
It was my first fandom really and I was pretty "hardcore geeky" about it. I was writing fanfic for it before I knew what fanfic was (actually submitted it for creative writing classes in primary school and how sad is that?) Turned up for a trivia night at a pub a year or so back and the topic came up just out of the blue. Our table blitzed it and my fellow team members were looking just a little freaked by the end of that segment. LOL!
Anyways, what I was going to say was a) yes, Tom Baker is THE Doctor and b) of all those before and since, the current one, David Tennant (see icon) is most like him. Perhaps, not coincidentally, Tom Baker's Doctor was also his childhood hero. David Hewlett's too apparently... Sci-fi geeks of the world unite!
