Tom Baker with all his charisma or Jon Pertwee's debonair gentleman? Has Peter Capaldi won your heart already?

It comes down to your Doctor - the Doctor you first started watching - and the stories they had. Great companions help too. But it also depends on how your favourite Doctor rises above a terrible script. If the episode is pants but you're still entranced by the Doctor, then the chances are he's doing something right.

This article takes a look at all fourteen incarnations of the Doctor, from William Hartnell to Peter Capaldi.

Taking into account their greatest and worst episodes and their contributions to Doctor Who history, let's rank all fourteen Doctors.
