Tom Baker - Brought an alien touch to the doctor, more mystery
Peter Davidson - Lighter side of the doctor, Not the strongest doctor, but did well
Colin Baker - Dark side of the doctor
Sylvester McCoy - Circus clown doctor
Paul McGann - Doctor who follows his heart
Christopher Ecclestone - The broken doctor who has seen and lost too much, finding love and losing it.
David Tennant - Doctor healing his heart, lonely but determined not to fail
Matt Smith - meh.

Oh, and for the 2 Doctor Who films with Peter Cushing - He was obviously replacing hartnell so see hartnell for a reference.

I can't see what Matt Smith has brought to the role that none of the others have. He seems to have tried to amalgamate several doctors, and missed.
I wouldn't say McCoy was a 'Clown' some of his stories were very mysterious and hinted at there being more to the Doctors story than we knew, i.e. hinting that he was actually Merlin at some point in his life.

Cushing was the Doctor but not really replacing Hartnell.

All they really took from the two stories was the Dalek story lines, he wasn't from Gallifrey and was just an old guy that created a time machine.

I still think Smith has been fab.

Did anyone spot the 5th Doctor reference from the episode at the weekend?

Also the 1st part of the PC adventure game is out this weekend I think.
