Tennant vs Eccleston

restlessboy [Edit] [Delete] 17 replies 10:11, 21 December '05

So what does everyone think David Tennant's going to be like as the new Doctor Who?

The last series was fucking ace. Exactly the right mix of clever and entertaining for a Saturday night TV show. Christopher Eccleston was funny and great but I've got a feeling David Tennant's going to be even better.

My family are going to get shushed so many times during the xmas special.

  • Tennant

    is a great actor. I've seen him in Blackpool, Casanova, Secret Smile and Harry Potter and he's impressed me in every one.

    As for whether he's better than Ecclestone, I'm not sure yet. He'll definitely be a different Doctor but whether the public like him or not, I don't know.

    • He could be the new Troughton

      that's my only fear - still can't wait but I liked Chris Eccleston. Father's Day was my fave episode ROFL

      • He'll be great

        I'm a massive fan of the show but still enjoyed Casanova more than Dr Who this year (if such a thing is possible). He can switch from intense to funny and back again pretty adeptly.

        • Initially I thought this was

          a thread about Neil Tennant vs Bernie Eccleston - perhaps they too, one day, will regenerate into the Doctor

          BRING BACK THE MASTER PLEASE!

    firmly on the side of the young whippersnapper Tennant.

    • Tennant

      is soooo fine. Eccleston, on the other hand, has a funny shaped head.

  • He is going to be great!

    David Tennant is amazing he can do no wrong!

    Hannah82 | 21 Dec '05, 12:44 | X
    • He looks the part

      more than Chirstopher Eccleston. Doctor Who shouldn't be some gritty northerner, he should speak with a BBC accent and dress flamboyantly and generally be charming and posh.

      • Its got to be...

        Ecclestone.
        The bit before he changed into Tennant was quite touching.
        "You were great, and you know what?
        So was I!"
        The new one does look ace though.

          restlessboy...how about lawrence lleweln bowen.

          I thought they should have given it to a comedian Bill Baily, eddie izzard dylan moran or som such. but Chris eccleston has done really well

      • but

        tennant is going to be speaking in his normal scottish accent, apparently... tho he didn't after the regeneration. i loved the way he said "barcelona". it made me lol.

        plus, he's hott.

        • we've been through this and...

          hott he is definitely not.

          sorry, but there it is.

          • ...

            oh yes he IS.

            • ....

              He is a bit skinny sweaty geeky type though isn't he?

              rich_theman_hughes @colly_kunoichi | 21 Dec '05, 15:36 | X
            • he

              actually is though. In a kind of bumbling charming way.
