Talk:Fourth Doctor

Just no
Tom Baker was not the longest serving actor to play The Doctor. He played The Doctor from 1974 to 1981, ie seven years. Sylvester McCoy played The Doctor from 1987 to 1996, which, if my calculations are correct, is nine years, two years more than Tom's portrayal length of Four. I rest my case.

 * ... Yeah, but Tom Baker was on the air for the entire time... McCoy wasn't... If you're gonna go by that logic, then Patrick Troughton played the Doctor the longest, from 1965 to 1985. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 21:45, January 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * That's a bit of a ridiculous argument. Take Colin and Tom Baker. They just released two stories starring them, The Wrong Doctors and The Auntie Matter. We don't say that Colin Baker played the doctor for 28 years, or Tom Baker for 38. Cult Of Skaro Here.|Communicate here. 21:04, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

OK then. McCoy was the Longest Serving Doctor from Regeneration to Regeneration. MrSiriusBlack ☎  09:02, August 7, 2013 (UTC)
