Doctor Who: EVERY Doctor Ranked Worst To Best

If you ask someone on the street who the best Doctor is, chances are they’ll say David Tennant. Although please don't just walk up to people in the street and ask them about Doctor Who.

Though not present from the start of revived Who, he’s the one who took it into the stratosphere. And given that he was a lifelong Doctor Who fan who also happened to be a charmer, it’s not hard to see why.

The Tenth Doctor benefitted from both a distinctive, trendy appearance – spiky hair, sideburns,  trench-coat, pinstripe suit, Converse trainers and geek-chic glasses – and compelling characterisation. Having been affected by Rose, he’s more human and easygoing than his immediate predecessor, even enjoying the odd romance.

He could also be ignorant, arrogant and overconfident – for instance in his treatment of Martha in Series 3, his attempt to take control in Midnight, and his crusade against time in The Waters of Mars.

This less likeable behaviour is seen as grating by some, while Ten’s overall popularity means that he’s inevitably accused of being overrated by others.

But he was undeniably a great Doctor, and deservedly ranks in the upper echelons of any list like this.
