Oh, do! For the most long-running Doctor in history, his detachment is an interesting departure from most of his other incarnations, and yet there are moments -- rescuing Sarah from mind-control in The Sontaran Experiment, for example -- when his feelings do seem to break through... perhaps, like Holmes's, all the more potent because they're rare.
Ah, I remember those heady days, when I used to watch doctorwho and even post there on occasion before the growing community ate my friendslist. The very active RPG I'm in generates far less comment-spam. XD
Yep -- I've heard most of the Merrison/Williams dramas, with the result that they're my definitive Holmes and Watson, at least in voice. Not so much for the Three Garridebs, sadly -- the bit with the ring throws me off every time -- but Merrison's mercurial energy and Williams's steady respectability are the nearest thing I've heard to canon. I think they were the only Holmes and Watson to complete all sixty stories together, too.
