Peter Davidson never caught on following Tom Baker. Sylvester McCoy was the doctor when the show went into hiatus. McGann was only in the one episode. Eccleston was a douche. Tennant thought his career was going to sprout into the mainstream. I would rather see the doctor stay from 5 to 7 years. After all, we have only a few incarnations left.

Trust me, as long as the show continues to be profitable, they'll find a way to introduce new regenerations. I have a feeling this will be done by saying 'all the regenerations that River used to save the Doctor in 'Lets Kill Hitler' resulted in him getting like, five or six new forms. That's just me though.
