New Who isn't nearly as science-fictiony as old Who. This is a matter of much grumbling amongst some of the fan base... I think TV writers (or, perhaps, executives) have a tendency to underestimate what TV audience want/can cope with. Hence the plethora of silly, dumb shows like Merlin and Demons and Robin Hood.

Chuck lots of pretty and bang at them and they won't notice... *shakes head*.
