The older doctors also tended to have male companions as well didn't they? Someone who can do action scenes.
I understand that Harry was initially cast because they were thinking of going with an older actor to play the Doctor number four, but when Tom Baker was cast, he ended up being redundant? Not that the initial straight man comedy of that first episode wasn't enjoyable, but I guess not sustainable.
As charismatic as Captain Jack Harkness is, again redundantly roguish given that he was paired with the more roguish of Doctors as well as arguable one of the more physical of the Doctors.
LOVED the dynamic between Tennant and Donna's grandfather though. I wish could have gone one for longer (not within the episode, which seemed like an eternity for the death scene... i meant across more episodes).
Rory turned out to be quite good at calling out The Doctor on his bullstuff. Some very memorable episodes where Rory gets to be the one pointing out the emperor might not have clothes.
