I havent watched since David Tennant and tempted to watch, but not if I need a load of information from the other seasons.

 Err you should watch Matt Smith just because he's excellent 

.  Capaldi is good too though it took me half a season to warm to him.

 Gadz 

.  I haven't been watching it because I didn't particularly rate the first episode but this is not encouraging at all.  The best part about the character has been that he ( 

 ) could switch between sillyness / irreverence and a really cold, sharp sort of rage on a knife edge.  Tennant, Smith and Capaldi all nailed it.  IMO Smith was best at it which is why he's my fav - he could be really charismatic / "jolly" one minute but then the next you genuinely BELIEVED that he could **** up everyone's **** up if he wanted to; and they established that in his very first episode with his rooftop speech.
The Doctor without a dark side feels pointless.
