"David Tennant has topped a poll to find the US public&amp;#039;s favourite Doctor Who star. The survey - conducted by Entertainment Weekly - saw Tennant win more votes than the rest of his fellow actors combined.   The Scottish star - who played the Tenth Doctor from 2005 to 2010 - scooped a huge 59% of the vote, with his successor Matt Smith taking second place with 16%. Tom Baker - the show&amp;#039;s longest-serving star - accrued 12% of reader votes, having played the Fourth Doctor between 1974 and 1981. Ninth Doctor actor Christopher Eccleston, who starred in the BBC sci-fi drama for a single series in 2005, came fourth with 8%.    The remaining 5% of the vote was divided between the remaining seven Doctors - William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann. The next series of Doctor Who - Matt Smith&amp;#039;s third - will debut on BBC One in August. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
