Honestly, we don’t care about the colour of the sonic screwdriver or the new coat.

It’s like picking a new best mate for a road trip. You don’t need a perfect driver; you need someone who can handle the weird breakdowns, the bad 70s rock on the radio, and the sudden urge to stop for questionable roadside chips. The new Doctor needs to be the kind of person you’d trust to borrow your car and your emotional baggage.
