I suppose it does matter that Doctor Who is British. The American's seem to love the British sense of humor in the show. I have a relative who watched Dr Who on BBC America. She said that it's the unique British comedic touches in the stories that she likes. Plus the eccentric nature of the Doctor. Personally, I don't think I could actually hack having an American actor take the central lead in Doctor Who. But that's just my opinion.
