Well, it could be worse. He's horribly young (At a stretch, I could just about be his mother...) but slightly interesting looking, and I do remember seeing Party Animals and it being quite good.
Might be interesting if they have the guts to give him a companion or two who's older than he is...
Saturday, I dreamt the regeneration episode! I don't remember the enemy, I think it was something more psychological than just a monster, just that for the space of the episode, after regenerating, the old doctor (DT) somehow hung around to help, and then just sort of disappeared when all was well, having 'handed over'. I reckon that might be quite good... (and they could hint that he'd gone off to that other dimension where Rose is...)
Shortest serving Doctor? Paul McGann, one hour.
I still think David Morrisey would have been good though.
