I was thinking about this last night. I was wondering what you thought on which character is better. Please don't tell me which series/book/films were more well written, I was just wondering on a pure character basis, that out of The Doctor, James Bond, and Sherlock Holmes, which character you thought was better. I'll explain my somewhat bizarre comparison. All three of these things have been a huge part of my life, and I think the reason I have been so drawn to each of the characters is because of the leading character
a). They are all quintessentially English
b). They're all funny in some sort of way
c) The Doctor is mad and eccentric, Sherlock Holmes is witty and ridiculously clever, James Bond is suave and charming.
It can be any of the 11 Doctor Who incarnations if you think one is a better character than the other (which doesn't make sense since they are all the same person), and any adaption of Sherlock Holmes (or the books), any James Bond (not including the books because I haven't read them)
IMO, James Bond is the worst of the three characters (although I still love him) because he is fairly one dimensional and quite sexist. And between Sherlock Holmes and The Doctor it's a tough call. I'd prefer to meet the Doctor for the madness and excitement, I think Sherlock Holmes has a sort of upper hand in that he is so god damn clever. The Doctor is clever as well though, but not in your face clever - he's the more eccentric and more exciting of the two. Sherlock Holmes is very different.
