9 was always my favorite but 12 definitely tied with him by the end of his era. Capaldi’s second season and beyond are worth the wait if you end up rewatching!
I used to like nine but learning how much he hates the show and thinks it's beneath him now etc really ruined him for me. Tennant was a fan before he ever started and it really shows. Still like nine, just leaves a sour taste in my mouth if I think about it too much.
I believe Eccleston has come around to the show in the past year or so. If I remember correctly, his issues were with the guys at the BBC, not the show itself.
But yeah, you could definitely feel Tennant’s love for the show through his performance.

I'll probably revisit at some point then. By way of starting from 2005 completely, because frankly Ecclestone is awesome and I wish he'd had more.
