Fans have named David Tennant the best ever Doctor Who in a poll, beating Tom Baker into second place.The Scottish actor, who made his debut last Christmas, received 28% of votes cast in a survey of 4,000 readers of Doctor Who Magazine.

“This is a real honour, and I am totally gobsmacked,” he said.

Baker, who played the character from 1974 to 1981, has topped every previous poll conducted by the magazine, except in 1990 - when Sylvester McCoy won.

“This is an incredible result for David, and shows how quickly viewers have taken to him,” said editor Clayton Hickman.

“The iconic image of Doctor Who has always been of Tom Baker in his floppy hat and long, multi-coloured scarf, but it looks like that’s been replaced.”

Fans voted Tennant’s predecessor Christopher Eccleston into third place, while Paul McGann received the fewest votes of the 10 actors to play the Doctor on TV.
