"A show dies when it's reliable like a pair of old slippers," he said recently at a Royal Television Society event, according to Radio Times. "If any reviewer says that about a show that show is gone within a year. Shows die when people say: 'Oh, it's quite good. I quite like it.' And the 'new show' is old now, so this had to be a reinvention."
He added: "This has been different and designed to make you go: 'I don't trust him yet, I don't know what he's like - what's he going to do next?' It's exciting and makes the show new again. If people say: 'I'm appalled by the new Doctor!' I say: 'Yeah, yeah, and you're watching it every week.'"
