The choices were: McCoy, Mcgann, Ecceleston, and Tennant. Turns out it was...

eh...I don't know about that. Tennant would be the automatic answer, I think. Since the movie isn't a part of either if the TV series, it's understandable that Tennant could be chosen. But no....there's that darn movie...

Seriously bad question....do they mean most hours filmed? Years between first and last episode? Most series? Most audios? 3 of the 4 could be the answer in most of those.

Exactly! That is a way too general question. If the question is who simply held the title of, then maybe it would be McCoy, but for who played him the most, Tennant did.

McCoy didn't play the Doctor from 1990-1995. So the answer to the question the way they presented it would be David Tennant.

Yeah, if the question is actually PLAYED for the longest... years actually in the part or actual film time.
Seriously, Tennant more than Tom Baker?

Baker wasn't part of the question. It was between McCoy, McGann, Eccleston & Tennant.

What a lousy trick question. A case could be made for either McCoy or Tennant. Tennant played him for more years in a row or more hours, but McCoy was the official Doctor of record for longer.
