Mine is 11, Matt Smith's doctor. Loved his portrayal and the story arcs (especially the ones with River Song)

I can’t put my finger in it, but David Tennant brought something unique to the show that I loved.

Tennant reminded me a lot of Tom Baker. Similar chaotic energy. Just not enough jelly baby.

Biggest complaint about Tennant's series. And much of new who is how sloppy and reliant on senseless babble, techno and otherwise as a crutch for sub par writing. The arc with Donna Noble got real bad. And it's cropped up elsewhere.

Sure old who had their briode nebulizer or some other techno mcguffin that gets mentioned. But it was always just a bit of extra flavor or a point in a much larger plot. And not some far too small Band-Aid thrown over a gaping plot hole.
