Oh, I know that they choose a relatively unknown actor for the role (which does not stop me or anyone else from participating in the who-do-you-want-to-see-as-the-new-Doctor?-game). I'm just puzzled by the fact that this time the role went to someone who has already had a role in the canon, albeit in a different series.
I know it's not the first time, but with someone like Eva Myles, she only had a small first role, before being recast as Gwen. Also they had an in-universe explanation (that Gwen was a descendant of the other character) and I'm really curious to see, whether they will address the recasting here or never mention it.
