The public have apparently chosen David Tennant as Dr Who, the coolest character on telly.Christopher Eccleston, 43, whom Tennant, 35, took the place of on the Beeb programme, wasn't included in the top 10 in a survey of 4,000 Tube buffs for radiotimes.com.David Butcher, of Radio Times is quoted as saying in the Mirror newspaper: "David looks like becoming a bit of an icon. There are surprises on the list, like the top 10 is all male."It's amazing an old-timer like Columbo is higher than current stars like Russell Brand, who narrowly missed out at 11.""Top 10: 1 Doctor Who (David Tennant); 2 Jack Bauer in 24 (Kiefer Sutherland); 3 The Fonz in Happy Days (Henry Winkler); 4 Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice (Colin Firth); 5 Cat in Red Dwarf (Danny John-Jules); 6 DCI Gene Hunt in Life On Mars (Philip Glenister); 7 Dermot O'Leary; 8 Columbo (Peter Falk); 9 Dylan in The Magic Roundabout; 10 Sawyer in Lost (Josh Holloway)"
