Nine, actually.
The two before my time (I'm ashamed that I can't remember them!), John
Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davidson, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, the
one from the US movie, and now Christopher Eccleston.
Um, actually 11 or 12 (assuming I'm not forgetting any). There was the guy
that did the two Movies in the 60's that remade the first couple Dalek
stories. Then I think for one of the "'x' Doctors" stories they had
someone
else playing the first Doctor who was dead by that time. Also, the 10th
Doctor has been cast, and I've heard that the new series will start showing
in the UK any time now.
The one actress from "Ab Fab" also played the Doctor in a special.
I was gifted with a wonderful PBS station in St.
Louis, MO for my
formative years. I've seen all of the episodes they played from John
Pertwee to Sylvester McCoy, and a good smattering from the first two
Doctors that were released here in the US... Of all of them, I miss
John Pertwee the most. :(
Ditto, ours did as well, plus I was able to watch them off and on while in
the Military. I'm watching the 9th Doctor now, and really like what I've
seen so far, it's a shame Christopher Eccleston was only willing to do one
Series. From what I've seen so far, he played a very good Doctor.
I really wish PBS still showed the Doctor, as I'd really like to watch the
3rd, 6th, 7th, and even the 1st and 2nd Doctors again. While I've seen the
4th and 5th Doctors episodes numerous times, I've only seen the others once.
BTW, the reason you've only seen a smattering of the first two, is that is
all that still exists :^(
