I love everyone who played the Doctor. And he not only played the Doctor but also played the one and only William Hartnell , who brought this beautiful show and time lord to the world perfectly. And i really loved his performance on Twice upon a time. He is the Doctor as much as the other 14 people are.

I agree with the sentiment, Doctor Sezzy. I also think Bradley played Hartnell brilliantly and put out a new perspective on the end of the First Doctor. And he was the Doctor who accompanied Capaldi when the 50th was long gone. I always felt Capaldi's Doctor could've benefited from a brilliant multi-Doctor story and thanks to Bradley and Mark Gatiss we finally had a surprise and a true love letter to both characters. It was a perfect opportunity. And now we have absolutely great new Big Finish material for Hartnell's Doctor as played by Bradley himself.

David Bradley, what a great actor! Your impersonation of William Harnell was spot on in both the movie and in Peter Capaldi’s swan song episode Twice Upon a Time! Not to overlook your outstanding performances in Game of Thrones as the double crosser Walter Frey and the comical squib Argus Filch in Harry Potter. We in America, or maybe I should just say I in America, wasn’t aware of your great talent until I first saw you in Harry Potter #1. You were a well kept secret in the UK. I am glad your work made it across the pond and we (I) got to see your great acting chops! Stay safe and stay healthy as we (I) look forward to your next amazing portrayal.

They are correct, you can't replace William Hartnell. You can however equal or at least do a worthy performance to honour what Hartnell did.

Many must have missed Richard Hurndall who played the Hartnell Doctor in the serial "The Five Doctors" in 1983. Also a fine performance. I agree though whole heartedly. Mr. Bradly not only played a fine first Doctor, he did an exceptional job playing William Hartnell as well. I wonder in future (IF Doctor Who HAS a future) If new actors will be conscripted to play some of the other classic Doctors. It would be brilliant to see.

The film brings me to tears every. Single. Time. Without fail. Hartnell is my favourite Doctor and you brought him to life as both his character, and his real-life, actor self. It was absolutely incredible to see a dramatised adaptation of how the magic happened, and I can watch it over and over and over again and I'm so happy that you returned as Hartnell for Twice Upon A Time and the Big Finish Productions! I hope you never stop :-D I think he would have been proud to have you playing him. You are a treasure :-) PS. I love your other acting appearances, too!
