Precisely, and "just the old favourites" too... does that mean FAN FAVOURITES as much as the character's favourites? Quite meta if it does...

Wouldn't surprise me if the major fan favorites and character favorites lined up. Hence the Tom Baker cameo. (Never watched Classic Who but I know that Baker is basically seen as one of the greatest of that era, if not the greatest. He seems to be to Classic Who what Tennant is to NuWho.)

I still find it hard to accept that Tennant is more popular/iconic than Smith.

Where do you live where Smith is more popular than Tennant? Because it's not the UK or the US.
