It seems time has done nothing to dull Doctor Who fans' love for David Tennant.

Tennant scored a clear victory in a poll of 16,000 fans to determine viewers' favourite Doctor of all time.

BBC



The Digital Spy survey placed the Tenth Doctor as the clear winner with 2.8k votes cast in his favour.



His successor Matt Smith took second place with 2k, while Peter Capaldi - our current Doctor - came in third with a very respectable 1.8k.

BBC



Tom Baker was the highest-ranking 'classic' Doctor - coming in (appropriately) fourth with 1.5k, while Christopher Eccleston rounded off the top five with 1.1k.

The remaining Doctors - in descending order - were as follows:

6. Peter Davison (1k votes)

7. William Hartnell (876 votes)

8. Patrick Troughton (866 votes)

9. Jon Pertwee (856 votes)

10. Sylvester McCoy (852 votes)

11. John Hurt (840 votes)

12. Paul McGann (824 votes)

13. Colin Baker (749 votes)















DS conducted a similar poll in 2013 - to mark Doctor Who's 50th anniversary - with Tennant coming out on top then too.



That poll, for obvious reasons, did not include either Peter Capaldi or John Hurt - whose positioning in 11th place is not too shabby when you consider he only appeared as the 'War Doctor' in November 2013's special episode 'The Day of the Doctor'.



For more of the clearly very popular Peter Capaldi, tune into Doctor Who this Saturday at 7.40pm on BBC One.
