The 12th Doctor
Lupercal:
Right with you Gareth, I've always watched Doctor Who from afar, but remember watching and enjoying Eccleston and most of Tennant - Matt Smith was fine but I never bothered to watch him, Capaldi will make things interesting.
As for Elba - I'm sure once he's done with Luther he'll be picked for something huge. He's already been suggested for the next Bond, now Doctor Who...there's a role with an all-white history that I'm sure he can pick up with grace.
Thrillho:
Ecclestone is still my favourite Doctor because of his damaged, dark edge and cynicism. Tennant was a know-it-all cunt and Smith seems to be a socialist teenager who's had too many sweets.

Eccleston was great, but sometimes he was pulled down too much by his deeds about the Daleks and the Time Lords.
I absolutely loved Tennant. Almost everything about him was great, though he could be a little bit too self confident. Well, in the end this hubris was what brought him to his downfall. Keyword:

I never really liked Smith. Partly that's not his fault, but Moffat's. I very much liked the style of the new series, brought in by Russell T. Davies. Moffat's style seems too polished to me at times. But even with that aside, Smith was always so hyper, but still so clumsy, especially in regard to humans.
I look forward to Capaldi. He seems a bit more dark, maybe a bit more "Eccleston-ian". It'd be good to have a doctor with a dash of cynicism again.

Not to mention his ridiculous over-the-top goofy grin he'd sometimes shoot.

My list of favourite episodes features pretty much every Moffat episode, topped by Blink. Thing is, there's one notable exception. The Waters of Mars is at least equal to Blink, possibly better. It's a difficult watch, though.
The best episodes are when the Doctor is the most human - Girl in the Fireplace, Waters of Mars, Beast Below...
