Good choice.  I'm looking forward to seeing him as The Doctor.  So far, I don't think they've put a foot wrong with casting The Doctor.  At least, since the comeback in 2005, that is.

From the "Classic" Series, I never much cared for Colin Baker but that was more down to the shoddy everything about the show, rather than him.  I even liked McCoy but thought the show was irredeemably bad by then.  Looking back, some of Tom Baker's episodes were fucking painful to watch, with him being the only saving grace.  It pains me to say but, having watched Genesis of the Daleks recently, it's pretty grim stuff.  And I don't mean that in a Dystopian SF sense, either.

They do seem to like recruiting from the ranks.  Both Freema and Karen had minor roles before becoming companions.
