Now now, send around your seconds. Let's do this properly.
I actually saw a Tennant episode first (the same one we've been talking about with the exploding school, actually). But when I saw the pictures of Eccelston in the role, back before they started filming, I remember thinking, "That can't be the Doctor. No way!" Then I saw the first episode much later, and really liked him. I think he looked too serious in the still shot I saw, perhaps.
So it's probably good that I'd seen a Tennant episode first, because it made it a lot easier to be prepared to like him at the switch. But I grew up on Tom Baker as the Doctor, anyway, and later Peter Davidson, so I'm used to the idea of the Doctor changing.
