I said “the past four years” because you mentioned I hadn’t “backed up my post” about David Tennant. What would be the point of mentioning anything prior to the four years David Tennant was in the show to back up a post about David Tennant’s time on the show?

Ambassador: An unofficial representative; a spokesperson.

Looks like we will have to agree to differ. You think my point of view/opinion is “stupid” and I think yours, that David Tennant hasn’t been, at least, partly responsible for Who being as popular and successful as it has ever been, vaguely “ludicrous”.

PS. A snogger Doctor? You are really that bothered with a few seconds of kissing from 47 episodes? Eccleston “snogged” Rose and Captain Jack too.@Steve

@ChildofTime

Actually, I was refering to this list –
William Hartnell – The Original
Patrick Troughton – Number 2
Jon Pertwee – Number 3
Tom Baker – Number 4
Peter Davison – Number 5
Richard Hurndall – Number 1 (The Five Doctors)
Colin Baker – Number 6
Michael Jayston – The Valeyard (revealed to be the Doctor at the end of Trial of a Timelord)
Sly McCoy – Number 7
Paul McGann – Number 8
Chris Eccelson – Number 9
David Tennant – Number 10
Making 12 actors playing the part on TV.

Check it out, you will find these facts are correct. So, please “Get your facts right a BEFORE you go accusing any one of not getting the facts right.”

Technically, 11 actors have played the role.

The First Doctor was portrayed by a different actor in The Five Doctors, and for a while Richard E Grant was the official 9th Doctor on the BBCi animations.

@Steve
YOU should re-read your posts Steve…
“…is an actor who took on a role, that 11 actors have played previously.” Before David Tenannt started, only 9 actors had played the part! Get your facts right and correct your grammar BEFORE you go starting any arguments…

@David
“the show’s success on various platforms over the past four years”? Only the past 4 years. All down to David Tennant? What an Ambassador he is. Lets all bow down to this Superman without whom the show would have died. Lets forget about Chris Eccleson, whom DT owes this success! DT is not an ambassador in anyway. He is an actor who took on a role, that 11 actors have played previously.
Lets also examine that childishness that the BBC have played on with ITV’s success with Coronation Street. When the shoe was on other foot, the BBC played down the drive by certain websites to encourage Doctor Who votes.
To be honest, I am glad to see the back of David Tennant now, his childish, snogger Doctor has gone. Another actor has come into the show and I hope he will show that Doctor Who is not David Tennant!

I don’t need to re-read my post, I stand by every word. I don’t feel the need to back it up either with reams of facts – we are all very aware of the show’s success on various platforms over the past four years – it’s been excellently documented here, let alone almost everywhere else. I’ve been a viewer and fan of DW since 1976, and Tom Baker is my favourite Doctor, and yet I still think that Tennant has been one of the best things to happen to Who – not all of his episodes have been great, I agree, but many have and he has done the show nothing but good, with a great future ahead. @Steve

For some people, David Tennant really has made Doctor Who special, and that has to be respected. Not everybody watched the older series, and we all have our favourites, so it’s not really worth arguing over. It’s all a matter of opinion.

Anyway, well done Doctor Who and David Tennant. I wooped when they both won :)

@David It's not a ramble, it's fact. I think you should re-read your post and put mine into context. I noticed you have not backed up your post in anyway.

I think you should calm down before you blow a fuse - my comment ISN'T a "claim", stupid or otherwise, it's MY point of view, just as your rambling post is yours.@Steve
