Funny, when growing up, a friend of mine was all into Doctor Who and I just passed it off as another form of nerdery (he was a tremendous nerd but a good friend anyway), but I started watching when it 'came back' in '06 with Christopher Eccleston as The Doctor.
- I was channel surfing and Rose (Billie Piper) caught my eye. "Hello, who's this?"
Next thing I knew, the show had my attention and I've been watching since.
Since I can only refer to the 3 Doctors I've watched, I still prefer David Tennant. I loved his intensity and the way he played the role. Matt Smith is doing well and I like him too, but not as much by comparison. Tennant really set the bar high, in my opinion.
