You know the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon? In it you can work out that you’re related to the actor Kevin Bacon through no more than six assocations.
Google has the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game baked into its search results. To access it search for [bacon number] followed by an actor’s name. For example; [bacon number matt smith].
So, which Doctor actors do best in this game? Here’s the table!
Gosh. They all do very well! I have to wonder whether [Bacon number Matt Smith] will be a more popular question than [Bacon number David Tennant]. Which Doctor would you check first?
However, we can see that James McAvoy, Toby Jones and Rose Byrne are key connectors. The movie Frost/Nixon and X-Men: First Class appear often too. Surprised?
So Toby Jones has a bacon number of 1, and was in Dr Who. Anyone else from who got a bacon number of 1?

John Cleese (was in The Big Picture with Kevin Bacon, and was of course in City of Death).Â
John Hurt (the 9th (?) Doctor was in Jayne Mansfield’s Car with KB).Â
Michael Sheen (the voice of House in the Doctor’s wife – was in Frost/Nixon).
They’re the only ones I can find !!
Actually John Hurt (The War Doctor) has a Bacon Number of 1.
