Fifth Doctor Vs Third Doctor : What Caused The Doctor’s Third Incarnation To Be Incapacitated?

Again the character is excellently played by the fifth doctor who peter davison, who exudes public school boyish charms here.he dithers and bumbles his way throughout the series, while at the core being an essential and perhaps strong character, he means well but never quite gets it. davison is one of britains finest character actors, again under-rated but looking now as if he will hit the big time after the success of at home with the braithwaites. all creatures great and small also has the benefit of some of the finest writers and directors having worked on the show, such as terence dudley and peter moffet, as well as the multi talanted and consistant head writer johnny byrne.

It is quite possible that on their planet (as in some earthly societies) promotions are made on the basis of social status rather than age, experience or ability. together with jon pertwee's third doctor, tom baker's fourth doctor was the incarnation with whom i was most familiar during my childhood. both played the character as an eccentric english gentleman, but pertwee (perhaps taking his cue from peter cushing's "unofficial" doctor of the two spin-off feature films from the mid-sixties) stresses his gentlemanliness, whereas baker places greater stress on his eccentricity, possibly influenced by patrick troughton's second doctor.

In particular there is a great, spectacular stunt when an auton is knocked down and falls dramatically, careering down a huge slope, apparently to its death, only to just get straight back up.jon pertwee remains on top form along with an excellent guest cast and all the regulars do well although it is sad that the character of the doctor's 'assistant' liz shaw is replaced. her replacement character jo grant goes on to be a very endearing character but liz shaw was the better companion for the doctor in my opinion with a strong intellect as well as bravery. the addition of captain mike yates is great but perhaps they transferred the strength and intelligence of liz shaw onto yates and passed the glamour and warmth of liz onto jo grant.

If audio dramas are taken into account, she is one of three characters (the other two being trinity wells and the french newsreader) to appear in doctor who, the sarah jane adventures, and torchwood. jo never appeared in the regular doctor who comic strip in tv comic and/or tv action, as katy manning did not want her likeness used in any merchandising. however, world distributors (manchester), ltd were able to feature the character in their doctor who annuals for 1974 and 1975, providing they did not use manning's likeness.
