Hi Dark: Well, I was thinking more of Dr. Who as a whole rather than any individual doctor, and it seems to me most of the doctors preferred to out whit an opponent rather than have a face to face confrontation with them.
That said, I'll admit I am not as familiar with Dr. Who as other science fiction series. For one reason on this side of the Atlantic Dr. Who has never really caught on with the public the way something like Star Trek or Star Wars has. Another is that for most of its 50 year run Dr. Who has usually been relegated to late nights, and until very recently wasn't shown during prime time. As a result of the late hour people who worked, went to school, whatever didn't watch the show much. For example, I can remember being around age 7 the first time I found out about Dr. Who. At that time Dr. Who was being played by Tom Baker, but the show didn't come on until 11:00 PM which was far passed my bed time. Anyway, about that time I went into the hospital for one of many surgeries, and per usual hospital routine the nurses kept coming into my room, waking me up, and taking my blood and other vitals. So to keep me occupied they turned on the TV in my room and Dr. Who happened to be on. Up until that point I had never seen the show before because 11:00 at night was far passed my usual bedtime. I watched the program, and for a while I use to ask my dad to tape it on our VCR, and that is how I came to know about Dr. Who. The point being is Dr. Who for many years was treated more or less as late night programming so never grabbed the public interest as much as some other science fiction series. Star Trek Next Generation, Deep Space 9, and Voyager all got prime time programming spots, and could be seen by anyone going to school or worked a regular day time job, and did not have to stay up until late night to see it. Same could be said for Quantum Leap, Babylon 5, and several other well known science fiction series. Once the Sci-Fi channel picked up this latest Dr. Who series they put it on at a more regular hour, and I have been able to get into it more than the older series on account of some decent scheduling. Anyway, as far as a game while I could see a game set in the Dr. Who universe as someone else it isn't the same not being the doctor himself. After all, for me being the main character would be the main draw of the game. Of course, that might just be me. Cheers!
