Your description of what current DW needs is so, so accurate. Admittedly, I don't care for the current team anyway, with the exception of Rory, and I watch episodes trying hard not to expect to dislike them - but even with that preconception I've been astounded at the assumption that parents who've had their newborn baby kidnapped will just carry on as if nothing's happened.
Oh, sure, they were worried for about three minutes at the start of LKH, but even then Amy was all 'oh, we know she grows up to be River and she's fine, but we'll miss the bits in between'. Where was their concern for Melody and how she was being brought up? Whether whoever had her was cuddling her, showing her love, treating her well? And why, once they discovered that Melody had been brought up and brainwashed to kill the Doctor, were they not even more determined to take the universe apart stone by stone to find her before she could be so psychologically brutalised?

Good luck at tomorrow's interview! Go in there, wow them, show them why you're the best candidate for the job, and get the job!

Yes, this basically. I mean -- come ON. Surely there are parents on set? I don't know -- I understand the desire to have a fun show, but then this shouldn't be your plotline of choice.
Thanks for the luck-wishing! The interview went well. I should know by the end of next week.
