Not just me then - if I read this right, you too find Moffat's stuff emotionally more sterile than Russell's. Obviously whether one thinks that's good or not is another matter, but for me I hardly ever watch tv and I want to get full value when I do! Feeling all the emotions is what kept me watching Chris's Doctor and is probably why I don't watch much else - I just don't get engaged enough to want to spend my time watching. In fact, I'm not sure I've watched more than an hour or two of television since the end of Ashes to Ashes, apart from Doctor Who.

my favourite modern Doctor is still 9 and I think always will be

Me too, definitely. Yes, I do know it's only fiction, but I honestly loved that man.
