Minor Footnote
...
The greatest single problem with the fetishisation of the Doctor as an action hero - and this isn't just true of the post-Tennant version, it was also true when Tom Baker was running out of control circa 1978 - is the belief that the Doctor's main function is to "save people".
No, that's Superman you're thinking of. Saving people is a side-effect of what the Doctor does.
