I know, and it was his role in TW Children of Earth that made me worry I wouldn't be able to watch him as the Doctor. He was completely different though.
That was RTD grandstanding. I though that whole regeneration mess was completely unnecessary.
Yes, but the spin-off could have been so much better if it hadn't focused on Gwen and her soap opera life. It should have been more about the Rift and what came through it, and about the rest of the team.
We only really found out more about characters other than Gwen when they wee just about to be killed off, in order to make us care more about them so their deaths would have a greater dramatic impact. Lazy, manipulative writing.
