So I just watched my first episode of Doctor Who. I just never caught on to watching it until now, and in the first episode I see he regenerates into a different Doctor, or maybe just a different actor. Can anyone explain this too me? Why does this happen? Is it just a way to bring in new actors? Finally, who was your favorite actor to play the doctor?
1. William Hartnell
2. Patrick Troughton
3. Jon Pertwee
4. Tom Baker
5. Peter Davison
6. Colin Baker
7. Sylvester McCoy
8. Paul McGann
9. Christopher Eccleston
10. David Tennant
11. Matt Smith
12. Peter Capaldi
Did I miss any? Are there any episodes that I definitely need to watch right away? Special order I should go in? Thanks everyone!

I'll try to explain some of the questions you have:
he regenerates into a different Doctor, or maybe just a different actor. Can anyone explain this too me? Why does this happen? The doctor has a limited number of regenerations. Rather than dying, he regenerates and has a new body, personality, etc. However, they still generally retain the memories of previous incarnations. There are some instances when memories aren't retained, but explaining that would be too much of a spoiler.
Is it just a way to bring in new actors? Originally, I think that was the case. Hartnell was getting older and those running the show wanted a way to bring in a new actor.
Finally, who was your favorite actor to play the doctor? I think each of them brings something I like. Eccleston was the first doctor I really watched, so I like him a lot. I like capaldi quite a bit too. You didn't mention him, but John Hurt was also a favorite and I would have love to see some specials from the period when the "War Doctor" was around.

I like Tennant best so far, but I have not seen Capaldi deliver anything but one line yet. Damn you Netflix...
