Reply to comment by Smurfboy22 in What are some shows that were advertised to one demographic, but became successful outside of the target demographic? by blqckwidow

And the concept of the Doctor regenerating and changing personalities was just a quick excuse to explain why they changed the actor who plays the Doctor from William Hartnell to Patrick Troughton. Eventually this led to casting Tenant and Smith who appealed so much to younger audiences and women that the franchise became a global phenomenon... at least, moreso.
