I'm not sure I agree with you, unless by "consistently" you mean that it hits neither the highs ("Blink", "The Doctor Dances") nor the lows (anybody wanna burn "Gridlock"?) of Doctor Who. So far, I've only dribbled a few tears over The Sarah Jane Adventures.
In truth, the show seems to capture the spirit of the old Who better than new Who does. A small show, happily doing it's thing without having to worry about out-doing last week's spectacle or being self-conscious about being a genuine hit.
I've really got to write up a critical appreciation before the new(!) series commences.
