New Doctor Who is....

( Cut for those who don't want to know )

Expected older/more experienced name that had some Dr Who history - not Doctor Hollyoaks. Humph.

I think they went for the glam tween audience, the one that sells magazines, rather than someone that might appeal to everyone, since it's not just a kids show now (it's a family show according to RTD, they know the demographic isn't just kids, hence the references and Torchwood). This is definitely a sign of lack of RTD's hand, which not always good, was a far sight better than this. Oh dear.
