Perhaps it is subjective, and I'd hate to be the sort of fan who waffles on about having a "Doctorish quality". But the reason for choosing Eccleston and putting him in a scruffy leather jacket is clear to me. It was out of a shame for what Doctor Who used to be. Rather than an eccentric in clothes that matched that eccentricity, we got an occasionally nasty scruff in a leather jacket who called humans "stupid, blundering, apes". To make it different from the show that people used to laugh it, they made the lead into a thuggish Coronation Street extra. Each Doctor is different, but there was nothing of the Doctor in him that I recognised. Eccleston's varying performance didn't help either. They sort of dodged the issue with Tennant; they put him in a suit, and at least he could recognisably be the Doctor. But at the same time, to try and be as acceptable as possible, they chose someone extremely handsome and made him prance around like a grown up Harry Potter guffawing about how he loves a little shop. Perhaps it's only because the show has now gained acceptability among a public who are more concerned with cheap emotional drama, pretty CGI, and quick pace over decent plots that we can have a Doctor like Matt Smith - a funny looking eccentric in a bow tie.And Bones, I usually agree with your critical assessments but I vehemently disagree with your "Northern binman" bit. And considering that each Doctor has a distinct personality, how exactly do you define what is and isn't "Doctor-like" other than purely subjectively?

Yeah, nice one. Actually, I'd have used McGann. Of course, when the bloke running it insists on having almost every episode of the series set on a London council estate, you can understand how you'd need Eccleston rather than an actual Doctor so it doesn't look ridiculous.Seriously what would your grand plan have been? Some sub panto actor in a multi coloured coat? The show would have died within about 3 episodes...
