This was so hard! I really do love all the actors (apart from Eight whom I have yet to watch), so this list is not meant as a slur against the Doctor who didn’t make it. I adore them too!

1. Three. The Doctor who really made me fall in love with Doctor Who. I like his sarcasm and his frustration with being stuck on Earth and his relationship with the Master and the Brig.

2. Ten. One of the things I like about Doctor Who is that he is a flawed her. Sometimes he is wrong or make a bad decision and he isn’t always completely good. So even if Ten’s story arc is a rather dark one, I like it just because of that. And I think his babbling is fun.

3. Four. This was the only Doctor I knew about when I started to watch the show. I find it hard not to like Tom Baker’s larger than life personality (at least on screen, I’m sure he could be rather difficult to deal with) and I like his Doctor who is really very alien at times. As the Doctor , really is.

4. Five. Peter Davison is very cute here, but I like Five so much because he is so different from the other Doctor’s, approaching things almost hesitantly and he is also a lot more passive, though probably (at the time) them most ruthless of them. I think he suffered from too make companions, and really shone in his last two episodes.

5. This was the hardest one! But I think, now when I have finally watched most of Seven’s episodes, that I must say just Seven!

1. Jason Isaacs. He’s always good, isn’t he? And he’s nice. I’ve actually met him at a movie premiere yonks ago and I was very impressed by him.



2. Ciaran Hinds. I saw him, pretty much at the same time, as Bois-Guilbert in Rebecca and Captain Wentworth in Persuasion and has been a fan ever since.



3. George Sanders. I developed a crush on him at a very tender ago and it never went away. Sanders is always good, even when the movie i awful, but my favourites are All About Eve and Rebecca.



4. Philip Zandén. A Swedish actor, you probably don’t know about he has mostly done stage work, which I always try to watch. I think he is most known outside Sweden in Bröderna Mozart (The Mozart Brothers), a pseudo-documentary about a production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni where Zandén plays dual roles as Mozart and the ignored (and often belittled) rehearsal pianist. It’s one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, you can see the trailer here. Also check out the more dramatic Skyddsängeln (The Guardian Angel), if you don’t mind subtitles, both these films are directed by Suzanne Osten. Skyddsängeln takes place in a fictitious European country around 1900 and Zandén plays a revolutionary who, in the guise of a body guard, infiltrates an important politician’s life in order to kill him. Unfortunately he finds it isn’t so easy when he gets emotionally involved with the politician and his family.



5. Alan Rickman. Perhaps a given, but his voice… Well, his voice.

1. Mid-weight wool. A pure joy to sew in and presses well too.

2. Silk noil. A slubby non-shiny silk that drapes well and is easy to sew in.

3. Silk taffeta. also nice to work with, though doesn’t take changes terribly well.

4. Light weight linen. Much nicer to work with and wear than cotton. It wrinkles, though.

5.Dress.weight wool. My favourite for winter dresses and shirts.
