Which is a bloody shame IMHO. Not to prejudge the new Doctor, but
Mr. Eccleston has been great in the episodes I've seen so far. At this
point, I'd have to put him in a tie with Peter Davison in 2nd place on my
list of favorite Doctors so far.. (First place goes, of course, to Tom
Baker...)

The relationship with Rose smacks of incestuousness to me

Two-words, "age-ist".

Just because a man is old enought to be a girl's father (or grandfather)
doesn't imply they have any kind of "unnatural" feelings for each other.
Besides which Ecclestone is quite clearly playing the part of a man who is
(to use a quaint old English expression) "as queer as a four-pound note"
which makes any kind of sexual dynamic a physical impossibility.
