Tennant is way better.
And oooh at the movie news. 
Doctor Who... Page 310
Quote: Matthew Stott @ June 22 2009, 1:25 PM BSTThey were both great, as far as I'm concerned. The best two actors to ever inhabit the role.
Having said that, I'm ready for Tennant to go now and for the new guy to get a go.
Ecclestone actually gets angry, you feel he cares.
Tennant's alright but kinda dull.

Agreed. Alot Darker alot more alien.

He does do good pissed off. Plus he seems like he could kick some ass if called for; he'd break Tennant like a twig.
Doctor isn't supposed to be violent.
Eccleston's too grimacey. And rubbish (often embarrassing) at any moments that aren't dark.
Tennant could do all of it well: dark, comic, light hearted and sad, etc, etc. In my opinion.
I'm ready for a new person now too, but not so sure the one we've got is going to be as good even as Eccleston, let alone Tennant.
Quote: Griff @ June 22 2009, 1:41 PM BSTThe change from RTD to Moffatt is hopefully much more significant than the change of actor.
Agreed. I'd loved to have seen Tennant in a full Moffatt series.
Me too. 
for the true geek, there's this on Radio 4 tomorrow morning:
BroadcastingJune 20, 2009 • Posted By Marcus
In a new documentary, Mark Gatiss explores the history of the Target book range for BBC Radio Four.
In the days before domestic video players and multi channel Television, the only way for fans to relive Doctor Who episodes, or catch up with stories they had missed, was through the hugely popular Doctor Who novelisations, published throughout the 70's and 80's.
Gatiss, a self confessed Doctor Who fan, who has written and stared in the revived series, presents On the Outside it Looked Like an Old Fashioned Police Box. The documentary features some of the best excerpts from the books and interviews with publishers, house writers, illustrators and the actors whose adventures the books depicted.
The programme is on Radio Four on Tuesday 23rd June at 1130 BST. Radio Four can be heard across the UK and around the world via the BBC iPlayer. Once broadcast the programme will be availabe to listen again for seven days.
Thanks to Sergio Angelini

I used to love getting those target books as a nipper.
Quote: Griff @ June 22 2009, 1:50 PM BSTI used to love Target novelisations. I've still got a ton of them.
There's a box of them under my bed, next to a box of those old Virgin New Adventures.
Quote: Griff @ June 22 2009, 1:41 PM BSTNone of this matters though when the scripts have got burping wheely bins, farting Slitheen, and the Anne Droid.
Don't knock the Anne Droid! That was quite fun.
While I'm on, I agree with Sooty - can't see Tennant being as good as Ecclestone in Dalek, for example, and it's part of the reason why the Daleks have got progressively shitter. If the Doctor isn't that scared or angry why should we be? But it doesn't really matter that much. Better to start improving the scripts again and that should happen with Moff.

There's money in them thar hills. Particularly if you've got a copy of 'Lungbarrow'.

I bet he is! £Ker-ching!£

I haven't. Keep looking on Amazon, but it's always hundreds of pounds!
