I find Davison as the Doctor quite charming, as are the reset of the
Doctors. One point that you might find interesting: I heard
John Nathan-Turner (the current Dr. Who producer) say that he
wanted a younger Doctor to replace Baker. He was looking around
for another, when he saw Davison on "All Creatures..." he called him
up the next day, and the search was over....

On the same program where I saw J N-T say the above, I also heard
him say: "Nope, no connection at all...."
