Google Gemini compares Tom Baker and David Tennant

Determining who's definitively more popular, Tom Baker as the 4th Doctor

or David Tennant as the 10th Doctor, is a close call with strong arguments

for each:



Tom Baker's Legacy:



Longer Tenure: Baker held the role for seven seasons,

allowing for deeper connection with viewers.



Established Popularity: He's often considered the quintessential Doctor

by many longtime fans.



Iconic Status: His look with the scarf and hat is instantly recognisable.



David Tennant's Appeal:



Modern Revival Boost: The show's resurgence in popularity during his era

brought in a new generation of fans.



Critical Acclaim: Tennant's performance is often praised for its

emotional depth and range.



Accessibility: The revival era with Tennant is more readily available

for streaming, potentially exposing him to a wider audience.



Here are some additional factors to consider:



Polls: While Tom Baker has lost "Best Doctor" titles to Tennant

in Doctor Who Magazine polls, it doesn't definitively settle popularity.



Fan Discussions: Both Doctors have passionate followings, with online

discussions often showcasing the ongoing debate.



Ultimately, it depends on how you define popularity. Baker might have

a stronger hold on the established fanbase, while Tennant might be more

popular among newer viewers. Both are undeniably iconic figures in

Doctor Who history.
