True, but Tennant has a couple of things going for him:

1. Since Eccleston only lasted one season, by the time Doctor Who really got going, it was Ten who ended up being their first Doctor and it's pretty common for most people that their first Doctor is their favorite Doctor.
2. He plays pretty well into fantasies--his weirdness is a lot more approachable and less alien than Eleven, and he's also probably the most classically handsome Doctor after Eight (and even then, I think his face is more personally appealing to most people).
3. He's lasted longer than the other three (although Eleven will be just as long by the end of this season), and his seasons were stronger.

Okay, I can sort of get that in general. It didn't work that way for me: Ten was technically my first Doctor in that his was the first episode I saw, but I went almost immediately back to Classic Who and fell in love with a couple of the older doctors. My favourite Nu!Who Doctor is Nine, Ten and Eleven just got ... increasingly OTT and angsty for my tastes.

Mind you, I think the move from Five to Six must have gotten similiar reactions, back in the day. I wonder what old school Who fandom would have been like if they'd had internet at the time.

Well I don't think 1 applies to me, I think my first Doctor was Three or Four, and out of old!Who my favourite is a toss-up between Five and Seven, while new!Who it Ten or Eleven.

But I don't disagree that it applies to a lot of people. I'm just one of the ones it doesn't. Maybe it's because I first experienced DW through reruns.
