I miss you, Christopher Eccleston, you big-eared weirdo. I watched your one season of Doctor Who like 15 times, probably. (In order to grab the screencap I drew this from, I watched a lot of different scenes from the first episodes of New Who in slow motion and without sound, and was slightly disturbed to realize I could still recite all the dialogue.) It was pretty cool when you were on Heroes and had a beard and could turn invisible and hit Peter with a stick, but even that was years ago now.
And yes, I’m sticking with the new series, because I’ve watched very little of the original. (And listened to the vast majority of the Big Finish audio dramas, but they’re non-canon as far as I know, and kind of lacking the visual element. They also have the astonishing power to make the 8th Doctor – the one from the terrible movie – kind of awesome.)
