I have never been a fan of Eccleston. Because I don't like him, it also means that I don't like the 9th Doctor lol.

Years ago I saw the pilot. The pilot and 9th doctor made me stop watching it. Later on when I heard that Tennant got the Doctor's part, I had to watch the first season through, just to know what the show is about lol. After I had see "Xmas Invasion" I was hooked lmao!
