Guess Who has just been named the best Doctor ever?

Cut so you can make a guess before you look at the answer:

Fans have named David Tennant the best ever Doctor Who in a poll, beating Tom Baker into second place.

Someone else who doesn't really like the format/style of New Who! [Swoons in delight]

Like you I was impressed with the WW2 two-parter - it's the only reason I continued watching, as I went into it feeling "right, if this episode still doesn't do it for me, I'm giving up on the show". It (OK, and Capt. Jack) kept me watching, and I stuck it out through season 2 largely because I didn't realize Jack wouldn't be in it... (Also a faint secret hope that they really would kill Rose, which is surely a bad attitude to have going into the season finale...!) Generally I found the New Who too rushed.

I never really warmed to Eccleston as they never really explored the aspects of that Doctor I found interesting (the war survivor stuff - I missed a number of eps, though). I initially preferred Tennant (to my utter surprise because I have never liked him in anything except Posh Nosh) until he seemed to degenerated into righteous ranting. I'll probably at least start watching series 3, if it's really Rose-free and Jack-containing! Torchwood I've been enjoying, though I've missed the last three.
