I personally think he looks okay, but I don't think he fits the pretty nerd boy look that a lot of the Who fans found so fetching about the Tennant years.

Also, I'm starting to feel a little grumpy about the "young attractive Doctor" thing. His other incarnations were generally pretty middle aged at best - so why have we been getting progressively younger looking Doctors?
