Friday while Ang was hanging out we watched a fan tribute video for the First Doctor, played by William Hartnell. It had what I would assert is THE GREATEST Doctor Who quote EVER! The Doctor and Steven are standing just outside the TARDIS. The Doctor picks up a stereotypical horned Viking helmet and the following exchange occurs:
Doctor:" What do you think of that, now, eh? A Viking helmet."
Steven: "Maybe."
Doctor: "What do you mean, 'maybe'? What do you think it is, a space helmet for a cow?"
Hartnell was by far the best Doctor for snark and "ihateyouallgoaway" factor. And as much as he was such an arrogant, grumpy old fart, he was so absolutely adorable. He really was the grandfather. :) It's really too bad that William Hartnell is no longer with us. I would have loved to see him paired up with Tennant. I think the only future self the First Doctor ever liked was Five, but as much as Five and Ten have in common, I could see One and Ten being completely at odds and trying to out-snark each other. :P
