The tenth=The best

All fans of the show Doctor Who, which originated in Britain but was brought to America through the BBC, know that there has long been a debate over which actor portrayed the best doctor. Having seen all of the episodes, I believe that David Tennant is the best Doctor yet. David Tennant plays the 10^th regeneration of the doctor and I believe he does it best. Tennant, with some help through the excellent stories written by Russell T Davies, has helped to increase the shows popularity. The main reason that I believe he is the best is his emotions. He has and shows so much vigor and passion, which helps to make the doctor more lovable. This has also really helped to bring in a new generation, including myself, to the viewing audience. In addition, he has such prowess to show emotion, which really makes the show worth watching. This makes him a step up from all of the doctors before him, and the one after him, because the rest of them portray the doctor as a stoic, private person. He has shown these emotions through many episodes, specifically those that involved the Doctor’s love interests. Through the episodes the Tenth Doctor showed anger, extreme sadness, helplessness and a glimmer of happiness. For example, in the “Voyage of the Damned” Christmas Special, Tennant showed these great emotions throughout, when he lost a potential companion Astrid Peth when she fought to save his life, but through this sadness, he can change to the fighting hero all fans knows, which reveals many different aspects of the Doctor’s character that have not explored before. It is also through episodes like this one that we find how much depth Tennant has added to the character, which helps to draw the audience in and to relate. For example in the “Waters of Mars” special, Tennant was able to portray the Doctor showing sadness for the first time. Tennant has been able to show how complex the show and his character really are. Some people say that Tennant as the Doctor is too over-rated and that he is just as good as anyone else, but Tennant does deserve all the credit he gets because he has enormous talent.
