   Determining who's definitively more popular, Tom Baker as the 4th Doctor   
   or David Tennant as the 10th Doctor, is a close call with strong arguments   
   for each:   
      
   Tom Baker's Legacy:   
      
       Longer Tenure: Baker held the role for seven seasons,   
   	allowing for deeper connection with viewers.   
   		   
       Established Popularity: He's often considered the quintessential Doctor   
   	by many longtime fans.   
   				   
       Iconic Status: His look with the scarf and hat is instantly recognisable.   
   				   
   David Tennant's Appeal:   
      
       Modern Revival Boost: The show's resurgence in popularity during his era   
   	brought in a new generation of fans.   
   							   
       Critical Acclaim: Tennant's performance is often praised for its   
   	emotional depth and range.   
   									   
       Accessibility: The revival era with Tennant is more readily available   
   	for streaming, potentially exposing him to a wider audience.   
      
   										Here are some additional factors to consider:   
      
   										    Polls: While Tom Baker has lost "Best Doctor" titles to Tennant   
   in Doctor Who Magazine polls, it doesn't definitively settle popularity.   
   										   
       Fan Discussions: Both Doctors have passionate followings, with online   
   	discussions often showcasing the ongoing debate.   
      
   Ultimately, it depends on how you define popularity.  Baker might have   
   a stronger hold on the established fanbase, while Tennant might be more   
   popular among newer viewers.  Both are undeniably iconic figures in   
   Doctor Who history.
