Before you stone me for heresy, though, I’m a child of the Seventies and Tom will always be the Doctor to me. I miss the jelly babies and the scarf; I miss the voice and the humour and his wonderful, powerful presence. Seeing him on stage at the SFX Weekender, last year, was a throwback to my SF roots.
But!!
Having said that, Titan Merch have just released images of their latest 9” limited edition maxi-bust featuring Tennant as the Tenth Doctor – and I might just change my mind. It’s gorgeous. It’s got the pose, it’s got the stare, it’s got the tight sense of dynamism and the posture and the sharp suit. It's even got the sonic screwdriver.
There’s a strong sense of motion to the flow of the garments – his energy is palpable. Hell, he almost looks like he’d move.
My son is a Tennant Fan – I guess we all fall for the Doc we grew up with. And looking at this particular release, I’m wondering if he might have a point after all.
He’s startlingly contemporary – and I guess you do have to move with the times. He is the Doctor, after all.

I to loved the same 70s doctor then the tenth and wow finally then they let him go and Torchwood Ugg now it will be on pay tv in a mini series format
Mash
Hartnell was my first Doctor, and I've adored him - all hims - throughout my life but I didn't really 'fall' for the Doctor until his 8th incarnation. I fancied him, but then I loved Nine, and then I fell in love with Ten. I love that I have quite distinct feelings for all Eleven versions so far, and underneath it all is the same being :)
This bust is amazing, and quite possibly the best I've seen so far.
I won't stone you for heresy so long as you let me drool uncontrollably over that bust of Tennant. deal?
is it sad that my biggest regret in life is that I didn't get into Doctor Who till like 5 years ago?
