::Although Tennant is not the first Doctor actor to be born after the start of the classic series -- that distinction belongs to Eccleston -- Tennant was the first to be born after the series had become well-established on television. | |||
That's obvious bias towards 1970s ''Doctor Who''. It was pretty damned "well-established" by William Hartnell. He was the first — and for a decade — the ''only'' Doctor to have posted an episode in the Top 10 of all programs for a week. And in terms of raw ratings, Hartnell pulled just as many eyeballs in front of the set as Tennant has been able to do. Tennant's is more impressive, arguably, because there were fewer channels back in Hartnell's day. But still, the show was ''very'' well established long before Tennant was born. Indeed, ''[[The Daleks]]'' had already completed its initial broadcast by Eccleston's actual birthday, and clearly it's ''The Daleks'' which "established' ''Doctor Who''. The show had an average of about 10 million viewers from the January 1, 1964 through to Eccleston's birthday on the 16th of February. "[[The Brink of Disaster]]" pulled a 9.9 million rating on the day before his birthday. It was a consistent performer by the time he popped out of the womb.
