Doctor Who and Torchwood are Made of Win. :D I grew up with classic Who, but David Tennant's run as The Doctor is right up there with my childhood favourites (second favourite doctor EVER). And Captain Jack is just a JOY.
I'm just a *little* worried about Eleven, though: from the promo shots he looks like an Emo Gothy Teenager. Which... I just can't imagine *working* in a 900-year-old Time Lord.
Also, I'm worried because we seem to be running through incarnations rather fast. I have every sympathy with both Eccleston and Tennant wating to move on to new projects: they both have well-established careers (at least in the UK) which could be damaged by too long in one TV Sci-Fi role... but since cannonically you can only have 12 regenerations and 13 incarnations, there is an in-built limit on New Who... (I know the Master circumvented this rule, but he's Bad.) :(
Though I guess you could always go "back in time" and bring back one of the early incarnations with a look-alike actor, it would feel like cheating.
