January 8th, 2026 - 4:56pmI liked Terry Walsh. His Doctor didn’t say much, but he did a lot of jumping and fighting.
Missyrules
January 8th, 2026 - 7:41pmTerry was definitely my favourite doctor, he had such range
Rex F
January 9th, 2026 - 1:30amYeah, he played two Doctors years before Tennant did and didn’t lazily play them the same way. Walsh>Tennant.
Missyrules
January 9th, 2026 - 11:46amOh quite agree. Walsh gave very distinct performances of his different incarnations while Tennant just played him exactly the same despite not being the same man. Big up Terry!
