Put simply, the Tenth Doctor is ‘My Doctor’ for a huge swathe of people and David Tennant in a brown coat will be the image they think of when Doctor Who is mentioned. He is the only other Doctor who challenges Tom Baker in terms of associated iconography, even being part of the Christmas idents on BBC One as his final episodes were broadcast. He was the Doctor during one of Doctor Who‘s critical and commercial peaks, bringing in consistently high ratings and a Christmas day audience of 13.31 million for ‘ Voyage of the Damned’, and 12.27 million for his final episode, ‘ The End of Time – Part Two’. He beat Tom Baker in a 2006 Doctor Who Magazine poll, and was voted the best TV character of the 21 st Century by the readers of Digital Spy. As recently as September 2020 David Tennant topped a Radio Times poll of favourite Doctors.
