A lot of people don’t like 6 or 7. Some people don’t even like 4. But for me, I love them all. As in the Day 1 challenge, I have two top favorites. Solid second place goes to 7 and 11 (and yes I know that traditionally this would be “third” place in “normal” ranking, but I never agreed to that way of doing it, and this is my list, so 😛 ). And all the other guys bob between 2nd and 3rd place, depending on which one I had just watched or listened to.
But, really, I don’t dislike any of them.
The closest thing to a least favorite Doctor would be the way the Patrick Troughton was portrayed in An Adventure in Space and Time. I was totally into the film, and I still love the thing to pieces. (Detail! So much detail! And all the cameos!) But seeing the person portraying Patrick Troughton portraying the Second Doctor was just off and pulled me out of the moment. For someone dressing up as him for a convention, that’s fine. But it really broke the “realism” that was given to everything else in the film.
Actually, now that I think about it, I wasn’t too keen on how the First Doctor was written in Twice Upon a Time, which soured me on the episode. Well, so did Testimony (not totally convinced that they were good guys, but that’s another blog post).
I loved David Bradley in An Adventure in Space and Time, and what was wrong with him in this 
wasn’t his fault. And I love Moffat, he just disappointed me with his version of the 1st Doctor. The housekeeping line (I don’t remember 1 saying things like that), or the smack-bottom (yes Hartnell’s Doctor did say that line, but it was to his grand-daughter Susan, not to someone who he just met. Different kind of relationship), While watching the 1st Doctors stories on Twitch Doctor Who marathon, people in the chat commented saying that he didn’t seem misogynistic. So that was good to see.
Tip to anyone who writes for a certain Doctor: watch some stories of that same Doctor beforehand and/or during.you writing your story!
But, when it comes to the original Doctors, nope, no problem with any of them :).
