Because they are the two main leads, the roles were written specifically for those two actors and originally they were trying to create a Rose/Doctor dynamic with Gwen/Jack. Only problem was the JB has more sexual tension with a chair than he does with Eve. I didn't know that JB was gay or really who he was at all when I first started watching this show )one of the benefits of being in Australia) and the first scene where the two of them tried to have some googly eyes whatever with each other, I laughed out loud as it was so obvious that it didn't work. They come across as great friends on the show and as that is how they are in real life it does show even more so in their interactions.
I agree that Chibnall didn't seem to have any ability to reign the two of them in. Here's hoping that the new show runner does a better job....
I think there is a very large contingent who watch the show that are online, considerably more than the 5%. The hits on their websites etc are pretty good from what I understand of a TV website. The PTB are quite mindful and keep tabs on what is discussed online on the official places and the not official places, even if they do they say they don't.....
