I found it to be a letdown. The late 10th Doctor was OK when he started, but went downhill fast in the last few seasons. I do not have high hopes for the 11th. I predict another downhill slide followed by a lengthy sabbatical for the character, like the 1980s with the big break from the character in the 90s.
In the 1610s, people didn't have soft toilet paper or hot running water or microwave popcorn or carbon fibre hockey sticks or full color glossy pornography.
