I was wondering elsewhere if perhaps they went with a younger bloke because they've only got, what, two more incarnations after this? Eccleston left after one season, DT only lasted three. Maybe they're hoping if they cast him younger he'll stay around longer. It makes a bit of sense if they're planning to keep the show around as long as possible. And because he's nine hundred years old anyway, it doesn't matter how old his outer shell is.
