I think he is brilliant, he is the cooliest most fabutastic person in the world :D

I think he is genuinly nice and think that saying he has "Little or no sex appeal" is wrond puts cross face on.

He is my new obsession and i love putting pics of him on my msn.

I would agree that David Tennant and Philip Glenister as Gene Hunt are both really cool and should both be at the No.1 spot. However, does anyone agree that David Tennant and Richard Hammond look alike, so maybe Richard Hammond should be on the cool list too.

David Tennant is a fantastic actor ,the BBc are very very lucky to have such a star ! Where have they been hiding him all these years?
I am 46 and whatched bits of Dr Who as a child but wasn't hooked until now with David playing The Dr! Wow he is gorgeous.

Can't wait for the new series, I'll be in every Saturday nighy ,ou can guarantee that. Keep up the fantastic work David you are so appreciated!

THANYOU. xxx

when Christopher Eccleston's Doctor left the series I was disappointed, I watched mouth gaping open for that split second when I forgot that it's not real.
Then David Tennant stepped up to the plate. The last scenes with the Doctor and Rose moved me, I shouted a frustrated 'no!' and threw things at the t.v (thank god its not Whoverse and the t.v didn't fight back). I found the dynamic between the two, always present, but electric in that scene made the entire series. Why am I revealing my deep inner geek? Because Tennant's Who IS the coolest character on television! His passion and enthusiasm makes the show and his acting ability cannot be questioned! Did anyone see 'Recovery', an amazing piece of acting! The slightly manic side of the Doctor is intriguing, but the Timelord has seen worlds end, he's lived in battle, I find the sharp edges exciting and the character charming and believable, plus a Doctor in Pinstripe and converse? Fantastic!

I'm with Carla St. Clair of Liverpool ~ David Tennant's Dr. Who is okay, but Christopher Eccleston was a much better Doctor. Funnier, more compassionate, more fair, more emotionally invested, etc. etc. Of course, it didn't help Tenant that so many of the episodes in the second series/season didn't have the substance of most of those in the first. Still, even at that, I wish SciFi would get off whatever they're sitting on and play series/season 3 over hear. Wouldn't mind seeing a bit more of Capt. Jack either, though a lot of his appeal was the way the three of them interacted together.

David Tennant. Cool, witty, sexy, a superbly talented actor and he seems a genuinely decent human being.
What's not to admire?

David Tennant, not the coolest in my opinion. a smug little man with little or no sex appeal. am I the only one brave enough to burst the bubble.

sophie, brighton,

David Tennant, absolutely! True to the classic, yet makes the role his own. I agree w/ Linda: he projects an easygoing naturalness, unlike CE's usual fake "sexy" histrionics.

It's always a plus when an actor is not only good at his job, but seems a genuinely nice person...

ok so Jack Bauer is the second coolest tv character but Kiefer Sutherland is the coolest man on the planet

sorcha, dublin,

David Tennant. Followed his dream to be an actor and hasn't let fame change him like it has most celebrities.

Linda, Fife,

Gene Hunt is much cooler than David Tennant's Doctor
and Christopher Eccleston was a much better doctor!

Carla St Clair, Liverpool, UK

Jack Bauer beats people unconscious to get his information. The Doctor rarely if ever beats anyone unconscious. Who's got the better talent?

The Fonz, Dylan, Columbo and Cat in the Top 10?

Internet randomness demonstrated!
