David Tennant Voted the Best Ever Doctor Who

21/9/2020

David Tennant has been voted the best Doctor of all time in a recent poll by the Radio Times.

Almost 50,000 votes were cast in the poll, with the Tenth Doctor emerging as the fan favourite, narrowly beating current Doctor Jodie Whittaker.

“Over a decade after he left the TARDIS behind and after nearly 50,00 votes were cast, it’s clear that David Tennant is still Doctor Who fans’ perfect 10!” says Radio Times Sci-Fi and Fantasy Editor, Huw Fullerton.

“But with Jodie Whittaker hot on his heels and a great showing for other recent Doctors like Peter Capaldi, it looks like fans also now hold other Time Lords close to their heart(s).”

Peter Capaldi and Matt Smith followed in third and fourth places, with Tom Baker a clear winner for the classic era, placing fifth overall.

BBC Studios has announced Doctor Who: Time Fracture, a new immersive theatrical event landing in London from February 2021.

The event, which comes from the team behind the UK's longest running immersive show The Great Gatsby, will take audiences through an original story, travelling across space and time on a top secret mission from the Unified Intelligence Task Force (UNIT), where they will encounter Time Lords, Daleks and Cybermen and meet a character from multi-platform story Time Lord Victorious.

1940 – it’s the height of the Blitz. A weapon of unknown origin destroys a small corner of Mayfair, and simultaneously opens up a rift in space and time. For decades, UNIT has fought to protect the people of Earth from the dangers it poses, but they’ve been beaten back as the fracture multiplies out of control.

Earth as we know it is at stake – now is the time for you to step up and be the hero. Travelling to impossible places, confronting menacing monsters and ancient aliens along the way, it’s a journey across space and time to save our race, and our beautiful planet.
