Brit TV is far less locked into set schedules than the U.S
True... but. I still remain skeptical. RTD's angstful worldview doesn't mesh at heart with Moffat's more upbeat angle; as Moffat takes the mothership in his own direction, it's going to leave some of Davies' ideas behind. Up to and including what Jack became on Torchwood, which was by the end unrecognizable from the character introduced in Empty Child.
Frankly, I'm more than ready for the change, because I have no intention of ever forgiving RTD the snuff film that CoE became. Blink and Empty Child were more than adequate evidence that drama, even horror, does not require an ever rising, ever more graphic body count.
