I would once have been completely against an American take on Doctor Who. However, having seen what RTD has done to the show, the Americans couldn't make it any more cringeworthy, surely?”

If the Movie had been successful there would have been three of them, after all..
So when New New Who returns, it's safe to say a new team of production staff will be on the case, and so, it will have a new look...

Not so hard to understand...”
I think you guys have got re-imagined and revamped mixed up. A re-imagining would be a reboot that doesn't necessarily follow the same path as the original. Think about
Smallville, the US version of
The Office or Tim Burton's
Planet of the Apes.
There's no good reason to do that to
Doctor Who because the concept of regeneration and the constant flow of new companions makes such an idea redundant.
