Ranking each Doctor Who based on who you’d get a pint with

Tenth Doctor // David Tennant

Ten isn’t the most fun of the Doctor’s previous incarnations, but he’s pretty up there as such things go. He embraces adventure, after all, so he’ll probably be up for anything, whether it’s telling the story of the most recent new alien species he encountered or trying the new craft brewery downtown. Ten is incredibly charming and likeable, so it’s easy to imagine that he’d be a delight to talk to, about virtually any subject. He probably also has a lot of good stories – and much more of the silly, fun variety than, say, a more dour incarnation like Nine or Two.

And let’s face it – he’s also pretty dreamy looking. So it’s not going to be a serious hardship for anybody to sit next to David Tennant for a couple of hours. And his outgoing personality probably means you’ end up making more than one new friend while out and about. You may also accidentally discover some sort of secret alien artifact and end up having to run for your life.

Be warned, though, Ten is a Doctor that is somewhat given to fast-talking, full-throated monologue-ing and many extensive speeches. You might not get a word in edge-wise for a while at the pub, but watching him talk has to be fascinating. The stories this Doctor must have! He married Queen Elizabeth I, after all. And that’s only one of the stories that we know.

Booze of Choice: Something that has an umbrella in it, for sure. Something to match his look at the start of “The End of Time”, I think – as that seems like Ten as his most aggressively himself. (Even if the “carefree” attitude is a bit forced.)
