Peter Davison's portrayal of the Fifth Doctor in Doctor Who resonates
with fans for a number of reasons, some of which are a bit surprising:

Vulnerability and Intellect: Davison's Doctor presented a more human
and vulnerable side compared to his flamboyant predecessor, Tom Baker.
He was thoughtful, showed moments of doubt, and relied more on his
intellect than brute force. This resonated with viewers who appreciated
a Doctor who wasn't just a flamboyant hero but a complex thinker.

A Touch of Exasperation: Davison excelled at portraying the Doctor's
exasperation, particularly when dealing with his large companions groups.
His use of the arched eyebrow and the well-timed sigh became endearing
traits, adding a layer of humor and relatability to the character.

Darker Stories and Moral Complexity: While sometimes seen as the "nice"
Doctor, Davison's era tackled some of the darkest storylines in Doctor
Who history. He faced difficult choices and witnessed the brutality
of the universe. This complexity challenged the audience's perception
of the Doctor and explored the cost of heroism.

A Father Figure to his Companions: Davison's Doctor often found himself
with multiple companions, creating a dynamic more akin to a family unit.
He displayed a nurturing side, guiding and protecting his companions,
especially the younger ones. This portrayal resonated with viewers who
saw the Doctor as a protector and a source of wisdom.

A Contrast to his Predecessor: Following the flamboyant Tom Baker,
Davison's Doctor offered a distinct contrast. His more reserved
demeanour and cricket attire highlighted the Doctor's ability to change
and adapt while retaining his core personality.

While some might find him less flashy than other incarnations,
Davison's Doctor brought depth, wit, and a surprising vulnerability
to the role. He showcased the Doctor's intelligence, resilience,
and capacity for compassion, making him a cherished Doctor Who for many fans.
