Hee, I'm tickled that I just used exactly the same expression in a comment elsewhere - 'gravitas'. It's the only way I can think of to describe the difference between Old Doctors (who, let's face it, were tremendously silly at times, Tom Baker) and New Doctors (who do just seem to be somehow... flimsier).
I enjoyed the Fiveish Doctors thing very much, although I did like Day of the Doctor as well.
