Pretty much

I did notice some interesting stuff rewatching seasons one and two recently though. Aside from Adam (who was a dick anyway) Eccleston was quite keen to pick up additional companions - he asked Mickey (who declined), Lynda with a Y.

Meanwhile when Tennant came along in season 2 him and Rose were holding hands and acting coupley in almost every episode and the Doctor was suddenly more protective about who could join in. When Mickey asked could he come he was a bit abrasive about it even though he said yes.

I despise the Doctor/Rose couple aspect, but I feel better just passing the romance off as a byproduct of 10's personality rather than something that was true to all incarnations.
