As mentioned above Ten was my first Doctor. In Sweden were I grew up Doctor Who wasn't broadcast until after I had moved to Britain in 2006. I knew I was sold on the series at the moment depicted in my icon, when Ten says "You want weapons? We are in a library! Books! Best weapons in the world." This occurs in the second episode of Ten's first season, which is the Queen Victoria in the Highlands episode with the werewolves. I did see the first episode in this series as well and liked it well enough -- I did watch the next episode after all. But that ringing endorsement of books is what won my heart for all time. Of course the fact that they later on did a double episode set in a planet-sized library is just proof that my love and faith was well-placed. :-)
After becoming a fan, I have watched all of Ten's episodes and continue to watch Eleven; I have also caught up on New Doctor Who by watching Nine. Some friends have helped me to see a couple of episodes of Seven, but I haven't got further than that.
Ah, yes, the Victorian werewolf episode. I'd forgotten it had that line. Your icon is brilliant!
Me again, with a new comment: I didn't actually make this icon, but I did go out looking for one of this particular scene and choose the one I liked the best. It seems more people than me liked it enough to think it worthy of an icon. :-)
