I started watching Dr who when the reboot was 3 seasons in, I think David Tennant was the greatest doctor. A few years later I finally got wife to give it a shot as I started a fresh rewatch in preparation for Matt Smith’s second season, she was ok with Eccelston and Tennant but Matt Smith is far and away her favorite doctor. Does this pattern hold true for any other Dr fans?
My first was technically Tenant, the Pompei episode. Just felt weird to me. Didn’t try the show again until Moffat & Smith’s Eleventh Hour, and fell in love instantly.
