this thread ensured i ordered the RTD era box set of all 4 series....£40 bargain...i feel like reliving it all.....despite my lack of love for series 2 and bulk of series 3.....there are some fine moments here!
Oh yeah, that's a great one. Also, the same episode when there's a shot of him after River dies, the pain in his eyes is anoher wonderful moment.
And for Smith, I totally forgot to mention "nobody human has anything to say to me today" from The Beast Below.
Oooh, great choice re: TBB line. It's all in the delivery. Actually took me aback as much as Amy and Liz 10! Thought at the time; "Debut no fluke, this lad's got it!"
Add the "...escaped fish" line and the way he adjusts his bow tie before the whale vomit hits....ah, just lovely stuff. The epic speeches are great, but it's often all in the details for me...
Eccleston-
The "Everybody lives!" scene cannot be denied. It was so heartfelt and powerful. In Dalek, when he realized what he was doing was brilliant. And, I loved him at the end, between "coward, always" and his regeneration scene, it was heartbreaking. But not overly done.
Tennant-
Family of Blood/Human Nature - As so many have had said, his acting is brilliant in this whole episode
Christmas Invasion - His coming back after the Tea and of course: "It is DEFENDED."
Smith-
There are so many: But his big speeches, In The Eleventh hour "Hello, I'm the doctor, basically run."Time of Angels ("A big big mistake. Really huge. Didn't anyone ever tell you? There's one thing you never put in a trap—if you're smart, if you value your continued existence, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow—there's one thing you never ever put in a trap. Me", The Pandorica Opens (" Hello Stonehenge!" up to: "Remember! Every black day I ever stopped you! And then! And then! Do the smart thing! Let somebody else try first", the Rings of Akhaten ("I've walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a mad man!")

Beast Below: 'Notice everything' sequence, His scorn to Amy 'You took it upon yourself to save me from that, and that was wrong', Nobody human has anything to say to me today!' , his reaction when Amy is telling him he is like the Star Whale at the end of the ep 'can't stand to watch children cry'

Wow well I think that's a comprehensive list
bits in bold are probably my most favourite moments but that is subject to change :cool:
OMG, can you remember what meal you had at 5pm on the 17 March 1982 too?
Maybe a bit vague but I just loved almost everything about "School Reunion".
I dunno whether it was good acting by Tennant or whether he was just being genuine but it all seemed very "honest".
The whole "My Sarah Jane" thing still brings a lump to my throat, possibly because the way SJS sort of disappeared but then came back "home" to Doctor Who reflected Liz Sladen's career as well.
Similar thing in "Time Crash" as well.
I kinda got the feeling that Tennant's whole "You were my Doctor" speech was actually Tennant speaking, rather than the Doctor.
*EDIT*
While I'm at it, I also liked Matt Smith's "Good men don't need rules" speech in AGMGTW.

Haha, yeah, the whole special is a few mintes of Tennant being a fanboy IMO.
Ecclestone: There are two main ones for me, the everybody lives scene and the scene where Rose is being sent home in The Parting Of The Ways and he turns to face her. I will never get over that one. I also remember really liking the 'I'm so glad I met you' scene in The Unquiet Dead.
Tennant: The entirety of the Impossible Planet/Satan Pit episodes. I think I really liked the ending of Utopia as well.
Smith: Too many to choose from but the Stonehenge speech, Amelia scene in Big Bang and the ending of The Angels Take Manhattan are up there. Oh, all of The Doctor's Wife as well.
Comments
It reminded me just how cringeworthy some of the dialogue has been.
Eccleston: The turning of the world speech - Rose
Tennant: River's 'death scene', and the dawning realisation of the reason for giving her the screwdriver.
Smth: "Good men don't need rules. Now is not the day to find out why I have so many." - 'A Good Man Goes to War'
Your loss.
LOL Why am I not surprised?
forgot this one in my list. Its when River whispers the Doctor's name in his ear in Forest Of The Dead.
David's acting here and Murray Gold's score are virtually perfect
Oh yeah, that's a great one. Also, the same episode when there's a shot of him after River dies, the pain in his eyes is anoher wonderful moment.

I looove River & 10 in Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead!
But I agree will literally all these moments, there's too many to pick a few!

I thought that, too. I hope he controls his hero worship a bit when he goes for tea with the in-laws.:)
Haha I only remember as I did a big New Who rewatch before series 7b started
