"Great list! I have long enjoyed watching Dr. Who. I think that there are probably a few reasonable guesses as to why Angie would have ranked the Drs. the way she did. I believe the main reason is that the definition of 'handsome' varies over decades and over age groups. Matt Smith may not have been considered to be as handsome by earlier generations of women during earlier periods of time. Dr. Who aside, if you had taken a time machine back to the '60s and showed pictures of this group of men to women of Angie's current age group, these women would have given you dramatically different opinions.
The second reason follows from the first. If you want to pull in a new demographic of viewers, women of Angie's age and younger, then you might wish to start by casting a man that they would find attractive..."
