My memories of Three, admittedly dim, are that he was obnoxiously arrogant. Granted, he was usually right, so it's not an inappropriate thing for the Doctor to be, but I never liked him much. Whether that was the character or Pertwee, I have no idea. Also, I was seeing his stuff in a jumble with Four and Five which couldn't have helped (never had the chance to assess Six or Seven, apart from Six's first appearance, which boded ill).
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

You're right, nice isn't the word that I was looking for. disrepectful, maybe? It just really bothered me that Amy said "hey, where are we going?" and he just shoved her. And not playfully.

I will say, Eleven has been extremely, well, crotchety. This has got to be deliberate given they keep giving him lines about how old he feels or how old he is. Which is interesting - while Nine and Ten had their bugaboos, age didn't seem to be one of them. I also find it extra interesting them going this route since Matt Smith looks to be the youngest actor to play the Doctor ever.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
No new Who tonight, right?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Nope. It's all the fault of us Americans rebelling against the British. No new Who on 4th of July weekend....

Well, then, I guess we have it coming. Or rather, not coming, until next week.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Promo shot of Connor for the new season of Primeval. Spoilery for appearance of said character, as well as attitude and general increased hotness.
