At the risk of being burned alive, I find Tennant a wee bit overrated as the Doctor but most newer fans have First Doctor Syndrome with him so it makes sense lol
I grew up with Tom Baker so I would have LOVED to see him! And I heard that there were talks with Eccleston, but ultimately it was decided to proceed without him, not sure which side declined, BUT I know they talked. Obviously they would have had to get ANOTHER actor to play him, but a stand in for Hartnell would have been cool too.
Of course we DO have this to look forward too.....
