I'm sure this will be pretty hard for some of you. Thankfully there's at least five Tennant stories that I still enjoy.
1. Human Nature/The Family of Blood
2. Blink
3. Utopia/Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords
4. Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks
5. Smith and Jones
Outside of Series 3 I think Tooth and Claw is my favourite.

Actually I found it difficult narrowing it down to 5. This has probably changed, but right now I'd say in no real order.
Blink
The Next Doctor
Smith and Jones
The Library Two Parter
Waters of Mars

Blink is the only one that's still rewatchable.

I now find stories like The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit largely unwatchable due to how irritating the Tennant/Piper pairing was. Come on, you know this is peak television  |

I have problems with the word 'enjoy', but for the sake of participation these are slightly tolerable on a good day, the first two purely because I'm a Dalek nerd:  Doomsday (up until the last Dalek scene. I can't watch the last 5 minutes under any circumstances) Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel Blink Turn Left |

Blink Planet of the Ood Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead Midnight The Waters of Mars Even coming up with five was a challenge. There's very little of Fathead's era that doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth. The man's unbearable, self-satisfied smugness permeates everything he touches, and I now find stories like The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit largely unwatchable due to how irritating the Tennant/Piper pairing was. They dial up the smugness to a 11 in that two parter. I've always found the story underwhelming myself. |

Waters of Mars seems popular, but I can barely remember it.  |

Come on, you know this is peak television Oh god that scene is so manufactured and phony. I do like that story though. I admit Tennant is at his absolute worst. It's bizarre as it's one of his best stories, but one of his absolute worst ever performances. The bit where he insists on hugging that guy to show how much he loves the little humans around him and his final confrontation in the cave where he pulls Jodie expressions and his confrontation with the Devil of all things is boiled down to, "my girlfriend is a badass" are all peak cringe Tennant. Honestly s2 Tennant is the absolute worst. He's so much better in s3. Martha should have been his companion full time. Still I ultimately love the concept of the story and Gabriel Wolf as always is fantastic. It's still in spite of the annoying schmoopiness of Tennant/Rose I think an underrated gem in lots of other ways. |

It's undoubtedly Tennant's finest hour as the Doctor.   Honestly if I'd first seen that as a child it would have freaked me the f*ck out. |

I did see it as a child, but I don't recall being all that scared. I do remember at the time people calling it the scariest Doctor Who story. If they had been killer rat people I'd probably have shit myself. As it is I rarely got that scared by NuWho as a kid except, funnily enough, by my favourite foes the Cybermen. I always had nightmares of hiding behind a sofa in the dead of night trying to avoid them only for one of them to find and delete me. I will watch Waters of Mars again since I have it on Blu ray now.
