I loved DW as a kid, and I probably watch Classic Who now through that filter of nostalgia. I said somewhere around here (it might have been in my post about the Xmas special)that kids are - generally - more interested in the action side of things, watching the Doctor be heroic and clever and save everyone than they are in what's going on underneath. And that's natural - they're kids. And that seems to me to be what Moffat wants to get back to, whereas with the RTD era, the show worked on different levels. I'm not saying that Moff-Who lacks that entirely, but there certainly seems to have been a move away from the Doctor "in focus".
