While I'm sure Peter C. will make a fine Doctor, I gotta admit to being cranky that they failed to take the opportunity to pick someone other than a white male.

At least he's not another kid.

I admit that they're still holding back when it comes to selecting either a man of color or a woman to demonstrate the alien nature of The Doctor. At least with an older Doctor, the companion dynamic will be altered (less sexual tension like with Tennant-Rose more more mentor/student like with McCoy-Ace).
I worry that there will be further parallels between Baker-Davison-Baker and Tennant-Smith-Capaldi. (A popular Doctor followed by a very young Doctor holding his own, followed later by an older, cantankerous Doctor, especially since Capaldi will be the first person since Colin Baker to already appear in a Doctor Who episode.)

I thought exactly the same thing, especially with the host of the special going on about "maybe it could be a female." I must confess, I was disappointed.
