That was largely the influence of Mark W Davies, as I recall. I liked all the Doctors, but the stories they were given could be quite bad. "The Key To Time" seemed to drag on and "Trial of a Time Lord" likewise. The incredibly annoying Peri as a Companion didn't help.
I did like Tom Baker but that might well be as he's my "first" Doctor - I might have seen a Pertwee episode when rather young, but it was Tom Baker who I saw later and more than once. The one actor I did not care for was Peter Davison, which to be fair is because he was far too good at playing a jerk in an earlier role. I just couldn't shake the incredibly wrong image of Tristan Farnon (All Creatures Great and Small) pretending to be the Doctor.
