Ten had traveled, lived, and loved Rose Tyler across every inch of the universe. The last four episodes stunned the sci-fi TV world with hit story after hit story, finally arriving at "Journey's End," which was and still is regarded as one of the finest episodes in all of Doctor Who 's lengthy canon.
The classically trained Shakespearean actor seemed totally unstoppable. Perhaps he was, save for the intervention of one person: himself.
That year's British National Television Awards program would prove to be a fateful one. Tennant was nominated — and ultimately won — for Best Drama Performance that year as the inimitable Tenth Doctor, but had been unable to attend in person. He accepted his award via video, and dropped an incredible bombshell that haunts many a Whovian even this many years on: He declared that the final collection of Doctor Who episodes to come in would be his final outings as The Doctor.
Those episodes eventually became semi-standalone specials that aired across and , but the core fact remained: Tennant was quitting with no warning whatsoever. When Tennant made his earth-shattering announcement, his explanation was firmly set in a kind of reluctant resolve: "It would be very easy to cling on to the TARDIS console forever and I fear that if I don't take a deep breath and make the decision to move on now, then I simply never will.
With the benefit of hindsight now, however, we can appreciate his logic; the fourth series of Doctor Who still stands out today as one of its best.
Troughton would go on to establish many of the traits we most associate with the Doctor; Matt Smith famously based many aspects of his Doctor on Troughton's. But by the Troughton's third year in the role, the show's popularity was on the decline, and the BBC decided a radical reinvention was required to keep Doctor Who afloat, including a new leading man.
To his credit, Troughton took the move in stride; having tired of the grueling weekly schedule, he was ready to move on. Doctor Who would dramatically change in Now in color, the show's setting was changed to a stationary location on Earth, UNIT headquarters, where the Doctor served as the scientific advisor for the international military organization. The biggest change of all was the man playing the Doctor, as Jon Pertwee made the Doctor something of an action hero.
Gone were easy charms of Troughton's intergalactic hobo, replaced by dandy fashion and karate chops, facing off against classic adversaries like the Autons and, most famously, the Master , played with villainous gusto by Roger Delgado. Pertwee's tenure rejuvenated the show, making it one of Britain's most popular family series once again. But Roger Delgado's tragic death in a car accident, as well as the departure of companion Jo Grant Katy Manning and producer Barry Letts led to Pertwee's decision to leave the role behind and restart his stage career.
Arguably the most beloved Doctor, Tom Baker instantly made the role his own. His wide-eyed weirdness, sharp-tongued humor, and penchant for jelly babies made him easy to like, and the show's writing was never better than in his early seasons under producer Philip Hinchcliffe.
Baker relished playing the Doctor, even routinely showing up at schools in full Doctor Who regalia. Baker played the Doctor for seven seasons, still the longest tenure of any actor. But Baker's final season on the show was an unhappy one; he clashed with new producer John Nathan-Turner, endured health problems, and was engaging in a tumultuous offscreen relationship with Lalla Ward, who played companion Romana. After his final season, both Baker and the producers were happy to part ways.
After the odd, alien-like Baker, the next Doctor had to be something completely different. That turned out to be Peter Davison, who was already a star in the U. At 29, he was at that point the youngest actor to play the Doctor, and he was far less self-assured and infallible than some of his predecessors.
Davison didn't have the contentious relationship with John Nathan-Turner that plagued Tom Baker, but Davison was disappointed by the quality of most of his stories.
And while he thought the show got better in his final year, Davison decided to take the advice given to him by Patrick Troughton to bow out after three years to avoid burnout and typecasting. Fans of the long-running, much-beloved British sci-fi show Doctor Who likely have a favorite incarnation of the titular role.
For many, especially those who started watching with the revival, that favorite is David Tennant. Tennant joined the program as the Tenth Doctor only a year after the show returned to the screen, and his bright personality and three-season tenure made his portrayal of the Doctor one of the most memorable.
Tennant's departure from Doctor Who marked the end of era, even if it was amicable. David Tennant's Tenth Doctor was a fast-talking, energetic character, brining a liveliness to the role that helped cement this incarnation as a fan-favorite.
His iconic Chuck Taylors and blue suit offered a shift from the Ninth Doctor's leather jacket, and his fun personality kept viewers entertained even when he was tackling serious issues.
