Thanks Bob...My exact point, which I maybe didn't express clearly, was about losing the younger & female fans Tennant & Smith brought to the show. I don't recall there being this much pre show push for the other Doctor changes since the revival. Of course, the show is that much bigger than it ever was.
I'm looking forward to an older more mysterious and maybe less friendly Doctor myself, with more emphasis on the Doctor and less on the companions. One of the worst aspects of the Smith era was it seemed like it was the Amy Pond Show with the Doctor as a companion to her. My gosh, she even took over the opening. So I'm not against Capaldi, just noting it seems the BBC is advertising him hard.
