Don't get wise on me Steve, but if you want that kind of courtliness, yes, the old 10th, new 11th! But in my defence, at the time of the book, Tennant was the 10th!

And you have to admit, Hartnell's flubbed line in the Edge of Destruction scene was just about the funniest thing I've ever seen in Doctor Who.

About the Hartnell lines, I once read that, do to his forgetfulness of the lines, they did have the text on holders, suspend above the set, the reason (or one of ) that he normally was looking up when acting. But the special they didn't show that.
I love how he was a precision person, that he need to know what the buttons/switchs do and use always the same for the same action. "The kids would know!" and how he activated the TARDIS, after the new production team come up!
