I liked Eccleston, he was manic (not that I think that has anything to do with them being young), but it's taken me a long time to warm to Tennant because I felt he was chosen because he was 'pretty'. Not that I have a problem with pretty people, just I feel there is a bit of a media-sexing-up + R T Davis liking of pretty men = lacking of older more 'characterful' leads.

Personally I like my 'doctors' manic, but I also like to get the feeling they are alien. The slightly cracked bits of personality seem just harder to convincingly portray if you're a young pretty actor.

I felt getting rid of Jacobi was purely to get a younger, prettier face for the finale. I'm not saying he can't act, just that it seemed needless given that they already had a good actor there.


All that said. I loved the episode, and this series. It had a creaky start, but the last few stories have sucked me in (I couldn't close my eyes to go to sleep after last weeks). I am very much looking forward to next weeks.
