But my doctor, the doctor I've grown most attached to is 10. I wasn't a huge fan of the series at 7, so I didn't really get into it until the reboot. Eccleston is just 0.0000001 inches behind Tennant. though for me.

I highly advise that you only click on the link if you have a strong constitution and are enough of a fan to watch on Christmas Day anyways, since some of the plot points mentioned sound... well... more than a little retarded.
Still, you can't tell a movie's plot from a viewmaster reel, and that's essentially what this is. Here's hoping the episode as a whole stands up much better under close scrutiny.
