Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman were my favorite Doctor and Companion of the current era. Karen Gillian was my second favorite Companion. Haven't watched any of the older Doctors before Christopher Eccleston though.
I'd like to watch more. I've enjoyed what I've seen. I don't know that I've seen any of the Doctors before Eccleston, but I really liked Eccleston. Billy Piper was OK, but compared to Gillan or Jenna, Psssshhhh.

Fun fact - the current Doctor, Peter Capaldi, was the guitarist and lead singer in the band that Craig Ferguson, of Late Night fame, was the drummer in.
Hmm, yeah, I watched Eccleston when it started up, then pretty quickly stopped when Tennet started, and picked back up with Matt Smith who was brilliant. Karen Gillan and Jenna Coleman, yummy. I have to say, Karen Gillan was more likeable in the beginning but got kind of *****y towards the end. Now she's a villian in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.

Tenant is my favorite but it's a tough choice between Clara and Pond.

It was a surprise to see that Karen Gillan plays Nebula while rolling through the credits of Defenders of the Galaxy.
Hmm, yeah, Clara and Pond are tough, both are great. I haven't seen any Capaldi.
