who plays dr
The alternate Doctors played by Geoffrey Bayldon (1st), David Warner (2nd), David Collings (3rd), Michael Jayston (7th/Valeyard), Derek Jacobi (Martin Bannister), and Arabella Weir (6th) in the Doctor Who: Unbound audio plays.
Each previous Doctor has brought his own flair to the role, but while itâs hard to imagine anyone else in Tom Bakerâs striped scarf or David Tennantâs classic Converses, casting decisions could have gone very differently. The first would-be Doctor, Hugh David, was also the first actor to be turned down for the role. David had the distinct honor of receiving an offer to originate the Doctorâs role by Rex Tucker, a personal friend who happened to be a member of the production team preparing for the seriesâ launch.
