How Old Were the First Doctors?

Doctor Who has been regenerating for over 60 years — but how old was each Doctor when

they took the role? William Hartnell became the First Doctor in 1963 at 55 years old,

bringing wisdom and mystery to the role. Patrick Troughton followed in 1966

at 46, redefining the Doctor as quirky and clever instead of stern. Then came Jon Pertwee

in 1970, age 50, introducing action, style, and martial arts

into the TARDIS. Three Doctors, three completely different energies — and the regenerations

were just getting started.
