Who's better Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant or Matt Smith?

ALL OF THEM. TRUFAX.

Seriously...Matt's my favorito right now 'cause I think he's the most doctory doctor so far. But I hate it when people ask me which one is "better" because they ALL bring something special to the role and they're all brilliant in different ways. And I just...just...my coração has warm mushy sentimental places for every Doctor, okay?

I amor Eccleston for his edge and intensity and the awesome reboot he gave this series. He started it with a wonderful bang.

I amor Tennant for the way he could make you laugh your butt off one moment and cry your eyes out the next, and just FEEL so deeply. He brought so much depth to the Doctor.

And I amor Matt Smith because I think he captures the pure essence of Doctor Who. He IS the Doctor - a madman in a box, so very clever and so very kind, with the mystery and wisdom and sadness of a thousand years in his eyes.

And I shall end my ramblings with this quote: "Eccleston was a tiger and Tennant was, well, Tigger. Smith is an uncoordinated housecat who pretends that he meant to do that after falling off a piece of furniture."
- Lynne M. Thomas

Here's to the Doctor. EVERY Doctor. <3

Matt Smith has reduced the Doctors character to a bumbling fool who occasional comes up with good ideas on a whim. He has stripped away the maturity and integrity instilled in the charactor por Eccleston and Tenant. Lets not forget people that the Doctor is old, really old, and should therefore not appear constantly as a cowboy teenager in a box with a fetish for fezes. Matt Smith's Doctor seems to be an array of persona's that appear displaced amongst each other, and do not summate to a complete character. He seems to have atoundingly shaved a few unforgiveable centuries off the doctors age, and I for one am not grateful. Also David Tenant rules!!!

Matt Smith.

Seriously, he is the best actor to play The Doctor ever. Yes, some people agreed with me and some people disagreed with me.

I amor him so much. <3

CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON O COURSE!!!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!! Ahem. Ok. First of all, Mum and I watched Christopher Eccleston and loved him and thought he was just absolutely fantastic. Then he had to die as the Doctor and change into David Tennant. We were DEVESTATED. Absolutely inconsolable. Of course, this was when we didn't know the pure awsomeness that is David's Doctor. Eventually, we managed to get over the shift. Still upset, but then we watched David and fell in love. And he wass brilliant and awesome and gorgeous and absolutely fantastic. Then HE shifted into Matt Smith. Devastated once again. Same basic principal. Scars healed and we fell in amor with Matt. They are all phenomenal as the Doctor. While Christopher does a fantastic job, Matt and David play the Doctor as he was meant to be played. But I think all three are absolutely fantastic! YOWZA!

Seriously!!!!???? I can't choose that!!!

I amor Christopher because he started off the newer doctor who with such a wonderful act and so much emotion. Fantastic!

I amor David because of how well he plays the doctor. He gets mad if someone even touches his companions. He's very funny and laid back. Allons-y!

I amor Matt for his sensitivity. He gets mad for no reason and thinks bow ties, fezzes, and stetsons are cool. He's very gentle with river song unlike David who didn't want anything to do with her. Geronimo!

So I conclusion they all have their upsides and downsides. No matter who someone is better than the other, they all make doctor who such a wonderful show. And if anyone hates on Christopher, David, or Matt, just remember they didn't write their scripts, Steven Moffat did.

I guess it depend of your definition of better. All three are good actors and they were amazing doctors. Which one you prefer depend on what you like the most about the doctor.
I amor 9 and even know when I watch season 1, he is my favorito doctor. But then I watch 10 and I change my mind and he is my favorito and sometimes when I rewatch season 5 I think Matt is just as awsome as them.
We should be grateful we had 3 amazing actors instead of bickering which one is the best.

Matt Smith

none of them, no matter who they are, can beat David Tennant. He is the best doctor ever

Here is how I see it. Ecclestien ( I know I didn't spell that right) is the raw doctor. He is rash and can be hateful at times but still is just the doctor. He is like this because he remembers the war but doesn't at the same time, if that makes any sense. Now David tennant, who is my favorito doctor, is the mais of The Doctor in general.... That sentence got away from me sorry. I think that David portrays the doctor in a way that let's you see that this man is lonely brilliant "space man" filling himself with the wonders of the world to get over the fact that he is the last Time lord. You can see his personality switch a bit between companions also. Happy go lucky with rose, a bit mais withdrawn with ms jones, and then a bit sorrowful with Donna noble and it doesn't help that we see river song get left in that virtual reality world after the debacle with the vashta nerada. And after Donna is no longer able to travel with him the doctor is most likely thinking what we are all thinking and ii is why is such a powerful man reduced so to little and this is when the waters of mars episode come to play because everyone is like "oh David tennant acts too god like" and I'm sitting here thinking to myself he is godlike. I mean come on the man travels the universe saving planets and civilizations, a master of time and o espaço and do not even think about saying "that's not him that's the TARDIS" because its his TARDIS he chose it and it chose him. In the waters of time he starts to feel this way which just adds to the complexity of his character I mean come on we all know David was the best doctor. Matt smith is an amazing actor I really do amor his doctor. I like the wittiness and funny side of his character and he has shown that he can get serious like in the episode "when a good man goes to war" but with all this i believe that the composição literária is what has me most captivated. With the pandora and the impossible astronaut there's no way you could be wrong . The composição literária and plot are the big wave of the 11th doctor and Matt smith just has to ride it correctly and he could a sensational doctor. But all in all when it comes to who portrays the doctor the best in my eyes it David tennant no doubt

It's like when people ask me who my favorito Doctor is. The Doctor is the same man. Always. So they're all the best and all my favorite. Eccleston will always be MY Doctor because I started with him and he introduced me to the series and opened me up to the old series and the new, so without him I wouldn't know the amazing world of Doctor Who. But like I said before, The Doctor is the same man. Always.

i think David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston are the best

I amor all three but...
My favorito Doctor of all time has GOT to be David Tennant!! He's awesome!! Best Doctor.

Let me begin por saying that I have no desire to cut down other Doctors. Everybody has a favorite, and that’s one of the beautiful things about the show. That being said, David Tennant is MY favorito Doctor. I do not want to persuade someone to give up their beloved favorite, so I am not trying to convince anyone that he is the best.David Tennant is considered to be the most human of the Doctors. Most people think this is a reason why he was so convincing and others think it’s not true to Doctor Who because he is supposed to be mais alien in personality.When he’s angry, he can really let loose. it doesn’t seem ridiculous to say that he is one of the mais sensitive Doctors. And that appeals to the female fãs for sure. He had this magical way of coming across as someone open to amor but unavailable at the same time. He was right there in front of you, but just out of reach at the same time.David Tennant was 3 years old when he saw Doctor Who for the first time, and that was the reason he wanted to become an actor. To be able to fulfill a childhood dream of playing a character must be one of the most incredible experiences, and his passion for the show is probably one of the reasons he is so amazing in the role.

Bottom line is that David Tennant is a fã of the show. He wasn't just an actor looking for a role. He poured not only his passion for it into the character but also his extensive knowledge about the show’s history. It’s true that he is an amazing actor and really attractive, but it’s his passion behind all of this that makes him the best.

No living soul can answer this question....

Matt Smith definately!!!!!!!!

All of them are amazing, but I would have to say Matt Smith.

David Tennent....I think....I havent entirely made up my mind between David and Matt....but I think 10th doctor

I miss David Tennant.

They are all great Doctors, all Of them are subline actors but no one capture the time lord spirit better than David Tennant. He is the Doctor in the true sense Of the word.

I have something with Matt Smith

WHERE THE HE** IS TOM BAKER, HE IS THE BEST, AND LAST I CHECKED HE WAS THE DOCTOR THE LONGEST. But if I have to choose from the 3 chosen, MATT SMITH AND DACID TENNANT!!!

Matt Smith, he fits the role of the Doctor perfectly for me.

DAVID WINS!!!!!!

in my opinion it goes tennant , smith , eccleston but everyone is entitled to their own opinion

They're all really good in their own ways, I guess for me David is the best.

Seriously? This pergunta is like asking, "which do you like better, mammals, or furry animals?" They are both pretty much the same,though we like them since we've been around all choices(even if their the same).

I can't say which Doctor is better, but I can say this: Bowties are cool.

I definitely deem David Tennant the best Doctor!! :D Though I am not obliged to explain why, as I may risk boring you all to death with a reeeeaaaaallllly long essay LOL! :D Xx

Matt Smith!!! He's cool... Like bow ties.

David Tennant was my first doctor and my favorito !!!!

David tennant. Not even close

Matt Smith he's such a great actor and he's perfect as the Doctor. I amor him so much.
But David Tennant is great too and I actually like the Tenth Doctor mais than the eleventh, I don't like how he was written in the beginning, a bit too childish, I like the dark side of the tenth and wish there would be mais of that for the eleventh cause In like to see Matt doing a mais serious Doctor..

David Tennant duhh <3

tennant no doubt

Um. Thats not even a question. ECCLESTON!!!!!! I just wish they had given him two or three seasons to develop his character more. He himself said he could have done so much more. :(

segundo would be tennant, third smith. And theres a wide margin between those two

christopher and tennant!!!!!!<3<3<3<3

I'd say Matt Smith because David Tennant is excellent and went after an great actor it's really hard, and Matt Smith can do that

I prefer Matt Smith. He can act so intelligent like the Doctor is supposed to be, so dangerous and fearful, and fun and crazy at the same time ! He's everything the Doctor should be.
I do like David Tennant, he was great too ! Although seemed a little bit too serious at times, we don't have quite the same fun watching him as when we do watching Matt Smith.
Christopher Ecclestion was great too, he had so much enthuthiasm, and seemed so adventurous which was great ! It's a shame he didn't do mais than one season of the show though, I would have liked to have seen mais of him with Rose, those two were great together.

It doesn't matter who plays him. the doctor is the doctor.

Personally, I say David Tennant :) Though I like Matt & Chris aswell.

MATT SMITH por far. I mean hes got the good looks the awesome haircut, the sweet companion. I mean he's the Doctor Who package right there. I bet that he was born to be a doctor

I loved Christopher as the Doctor because he plays it so well, but I have to say David did a mighty fine job as well.

David Tennant was the best por far. Eccleston was too uptight, and a little bit rude. Smith acts a bit like a git. Tennant acts awesome always.

Tom Baker.

Personally I pick Matt Smith.

David Tennant

I think Tennant was the best because he had Rose, Martha, and Donna. He also was the best runner.

I liked both Matt and David the best. Christopher was only the doctor for one series so I don't think he had enough time to 'blossom'. I mean we did have 3 series' to get used to the other two doctors. Christopher was only on our screens for a short amount of time, so maybe if he was on longer, my opinion would be diferent :)

david tennant is the best.

david tennant forever <3 he can be funny, serious, lovely and he is just perfect <3 <3 <3

I really think that each doctor is unique in his own way. Even though I will always amor all the doctors, everybody has there own favorito doctor. My doctor is #10! David tennant has a great sense of humor and he Always made me smile(: David has to be one of the best actors in all of time and space(:

Matt! He brings something to the doctor that none have ever been able to. I amor how funny he is in the role and an amazing actor! I would keep Matt Smith in the role forever. It makes me sad thinking about a twelveth doctor. :-(

Tennant!

I amor all of them but david really was the best everytime i see an episode with him he is the one who shall always stand out because he will always be our doctor

To me, the doctor is the same man. No matter what his face looks like he still is the same man, but these three men bring up different personalities and decisions to each regeneration. Christopher Eccleston portrays the mais dramatic and seriousness in the ninth doctor, but who has a soft side with a little bit of cockiness when he has his days. Oh, David Tennant betrayed the 10th Doctor with mais humor and light hearted jokes as well with the infamous cockiness that I have mentioned earlier with the 9th doctor. But can be serious and ,more loving when it comes to his companions. Although he made me laugh with every spring in his step. seguinte is the 11th doctor. He is the most child like reincarnation to me. He has a few jokes to pass the time and has all the time in the world for his companions. He even almost persuaded me to get me a bow-tie as well. But he won't be messed with when there is a tuff situation going on.

So, I haven't made up my mind yet because these three great actors portray the brilliant alien called The Doctor. I hope this respostas your question!

David Tennant

better actor: David
Better doctor: Matt

David Tennant:3

David Tennant and Matt Smith are the best ! <3

It's David Tennant por far then Matt Smith then Christopher

I personally loved David Tennant as the Doctor. I think that his most memorable thing was His 'WHAAT?!' '. Smith and Eccleston where both good in there own ways. Smith made me laugh, Eccleston was the mais serious one, but Tennant is my all time favorito Doctor (besides Tom Baker, the 4th doctor) X3

(pic not mine)

Personally, I like David Tennant 'cause he was my first Doctor....(the episode was the Silence in the Library)

Christopher Eccleston.

The tenth and eleventh are por far my favoritos which makes it so hard to choose between them but if I had to pick...David Tennant would most def. be my choice.

Well really i think Matt and David because they are just the BEST!!! Also Matt was a good Doctor to take over from David but was David a good Doctor to take over from Christopher...to me not really

So Matt and David

David Tennant

All of them GodDangit I amor all of them because they are all he same person but different actor

David Tennant!

I amor all of them, I amor them for all different reasons! So I would say, Chris 100% David 100% Matt%

mattmattmattmattmattmattmatt!
I have a theory. HE IS THE REAL DOCTOR

I can't decide. Their each wonderful and each one brought something special, fun and unique to Doctor Who. I think their awesome and brilliant. It's so hard to choose. I amor all three! :))

David tennant!!! Why would you even ask?
DAVIDTENNANT!

You know this pergunta really got me thinking because all of us really have our moments where we're just like yup that's THE doctor that's MY doctor. You see all doctors have to have that, some mais than others for some mais than others for some people, and that's how we know which one we like best, well its weird because they are all the same person, THE DOCTOR. I understand you are asking which one really fits in your opinion of what the doctors character in your mind, but they really were all one person, it would be like asking a normal person which part of his life it better, because they are still ONE PERSON. I just thought that how can you all decide? They and the anterior doctors are the ones that form our opinion, so it all depends on the pervious doctors that you have seen on which one that YOU LIKE BEST.

* jumping like a psycho on my bed* MATT SMITH MATT SMITH MATT SMITH WOWAAA!!! * falls off * I'm ok .. I think

Hmm. For the actors, I don't really know much about them (I'm mais of a character-lover and not an actor-lover) but if I were to pick I'd say my favorito is David Tennant.

For the incarnations of the Doctor (Nine, Ten, and Eleven) it really is a dead tie between Nine and Ten. I have TRIED to pick a favorito before and I cannot. I amor them for slightly different reasons, but they're both wonderful.
Eleven, while I have nothing against Matt Smith, I kind of hate, actually. Not quite done with season 7 yet, though. I guess he still has time to change my mind. :P

MATT SMITH all the way! ------> :)

David Tennant is best because he has a Scottish accent but does a wonderful british accent he is very energetic and has cool hair ALLOUNS_Y

I know that Matt Smith is the best!!!! Because of so many reasons, like he was goofy, had great hair, he had the best companions, special effects were great, and he made bow ties famous!!! I will just say this, I ADORE MATT SMITH!!!!!

Cristopher eccleston always my fã favorite

David Tennant could provoke the most feeling from me. At times he's scary. The moment on Bad lobo baía where he & Rose kiss makes me cry. His smile is infectious. He exudes charm and his cachorro, filhote de cachorro dog eyes pull you in deep. You can't help amor someone like that

DAVID-T!!!!!!!!!!!
Straight up

David Tennant!!!!!!!!

i'd say either david tennant or matt smith seeing how they had the best companions, best stories, ect. ect. but it's my opinion.

MATT SMITH HE IS SO AWSOME

David tenant is por far the best doctor I've seen

David Tennant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt Smith is the best & he has my name!

So I've been re watching doctor who and I watched about 5 episodes with David tennant before I got to season 5 with Matt Smith. I've always liked David mais because he's very close to me and I feel like he is my doctor I fell in amor with but after watching just one episode with Matt in it I realized how much I amor matt. During the episodes with David I felt a lot of sadness for him. He made me feel a lot of remorse and almost anger (which wasn't bad. I still enjoyed watching him very much). Matt, makes me feel a lot too but he just gives me mais positive and energetic happy vibes. I was so excited when I watched the 1st episode of season 5. It felt magical and made me really want to go travel and get to know The Doctor. It seriously made my world seem a little brighter after watching him. I think it really also had to do with the composição literária too. I LOVED the story line during Matts run. It made me laugh, cry, and jump off the sofá when something mind blowing happened. It really captured me. Or at least until Clara came in. (But I'm not gonna go there.) It's really hard to compare any of the Doctors because they are all the same person just with slightly different personalities. Seriously though. I think Matt has grown on me so much because of his brightness he brings to the screen. No I don't just like these guys because they are "cute". I amor them for their different personalities. I mean, Peter Capaldi has to be one of the best doctors there has ever been because I amor the seriousness about him but he still has his witty self hiding away. So yes. I think Matt Smith makes me feel the best when I watch him. :) <3

Christopher Eccleston is the best doctor. There's just something about his accent and the way he smiles.

This is a tough question. Matt Smith and David Tennant were equally good doctors, and I would almost call it a tie because I amor both, but I think Matt Smith is the best.
Eccleston introduced us to the doctor.
David was like the rise of the doctor. However, Matt Smith was the rein of the doctor and totally awesome. Even though he has as much heartache as the other doctors, he does his best to be "the optimist and the hoper of far-flung dreams." He brings a hope and epicness to the doctor. While David was the hero, Matt is the doctor. He is wiser and funnier.

David Tennant of course. I mean come on, just look at those B-E-A-U-TIFUL eyes. And his smile? 😍. Now Matt's cute and all, but does anyone remember who Matt went to for conselhos on being The Doctor? David Tennant, that's who. Not Tom Baker, not Peter Davison, not Slyvester McCoy. David Tennant.

A writer once said "Russell T Davies envisioned a mainstream, commercial Who, primetime hit rather than fã indulgence, which meant a mainstream and commercial hero. Tennant’s character, like his costume, was pitched to be crowdpleasing, a matey, likeable leading man giving noughties viewers what they wanted. They fell for him, and so did his companions."

Smith was original and portrayed "the Doctor" really well. The number of companions does not correlate with how better of being the Doctor the actors are. In regards to the companions being copied and paste, I have one perguntas for you guys and gals: Have you seen all of Doctor Who? All of the companions are "pretty" and "clever." How the companions are picked is mais or less a tradition that has been going on. People should not focused on the looks or the empty rhetorics that are made from looking at the surface. People should be mais fascinated with the story, with the adventure, and most importantly, with all of the awesome -fantastic- lesson the doctor teaches us.

That is why I would say, after watching Doctor Who over and over and over again -with much enjoyment- Matt Smith is the best doctor in the new who.

I have not watched enough of the old who to determine the proper answer which one is the best.

When I first started watching the show I was so upset when Christopher regenerated and I didnt like David when he first started. But after a few episodes I was in amor with David's work. He shows humor and he played the role really well. por far he is the best in my image and he is now my favorito actor. And lets just say that his catchphrase was the best ALLONS-Y!

DAVID TENNANT! Look... he has LOVED doctor who since he was 3 and then he started atuação and finally he became the doctor so basically he got his dream job. ANYONE WHO AGREES WITH ME SAY DAVID TENNANR

Matt SMith

I amor Chris Eccleston, it doesn't matter what he plays in he's my favorito brit actor. He is/was/and until someone else proves to be better, my favorito Doctor.

They're all great, I wouldn't say one is better than the other.
BUT, my favorito is David Tennant. ;)

david tennant cuz he is kinda cute and he is funny.I FUCKING CRIED WHEN MATT SMITH REPLACED HIM.no offense i like them all but david tennant is the best

DAVID TENNANT!!!! 100% because he was such a classic from 2005 to 2015!!

Matt Smtih

Matt Smith. Cause he. Is. The. Best.
