doctorwho today posts an item from Entertainment Weekly about Doctor Who, basically saying how good it is. With which I can only agree. (It's a list of the 25 SF best SF shows.) But what I liked most was this part:THE BEST BIT Check out the first season of the newest incarnation, featuring Heroes' Christopher Eccleston as the ninth Doctor (the best ever — apologies to Tom Baker) and the piercing, poignant wit of writer Russell T. Davies.David Tennant is so popular I sometimes fear that Christopher Eccleston is forgotten; and I love Eccleston so much in the role.
Though I must say that the phrase "Heroes' Christopher Eccleston" made me smile.

American publications are more likely to prefer Nine than British ones
How interesting.
I have wondered if it's because Tennant is so self-consciously "fashionable".
Maybe. It isn't what I'd have expected, but, yes.... Though Nine seemed more 'regional' (with his Northern accent and phrasing), he also seemed more international/interplanetary. Interesting notion!
