Doesn't he dress well? I'm tempted to emulate his dress sense, but he only seems to have two suits (which is still one more suit than I own). As the "Tenth Doctor" he chose an outfit consisting of a dark brown pinstripe suit, shirt and tie, a light brown overcoat and a pair of Converse All Stars from the TARDIS wardrobe, a costume which Tennant described as "geek chic". In publicity shots for the third series, he is shown wearing a new blue suit and a pair of red Converse All Stars, but he retains the brown overcoat. In the trailer for series three, shown at the end of The Runaway Bride he is shown wearing both the blue suit and the brown pinstripe suit — the blue suit in Smith and Jones, and the brown pinstripe in The Shakespeare Code. One thing I didn't realise was that Tennant's name was put forward as a possible candidate for the role of the Ninth Doctor for 2005 series (the role went to Christopher Eccleston instead), and that being the Doctor has been a childhood dream, so I don't feel quite so bad about him taking over after the success of Casanova.

My actor friends don't totally agree - they point out that CE was very good at being the alien - in an almost autistic way. I see what they mean, but I just thought he came across as distant.

I think CE is a good actor, and he played his part very well if you wanted a proper Doctor; but the series is light entertainment and he looked a bit out of place amongst the rest of the cast. DT fits in well, he seems a bit more expressive, and he definitely dresses better.
