I honestly disagree. I haven't seen QAF UK, but based on my experience with Who, I feel like I got completely coherent arcs for Nine, Rose, Martha, Donna and Ten.
If anything is the problem with TW, it's not RTD, except to the extent that he didn't have enough hands-on as Producer to write a bible and tell everybody how it was going to be. That may make him a bad producer but not a bad writer per se. (And of course IMAO, they should have stuck with the original dead!Ianto concept and saved us all the pain.)
Clearly Jack is hot for Gwen-You could practically feel his erection in the gun lesson scene. Jack is a sexual bastard, but as a result of his travel with the Doctor he wants to be a hero. Those aren't contradictory. He might try to be less of a sexual bastard as well, but 100 years stuck in one place probably wore that out in a hurry.
And the fact that RTD chose to give us sexual Jack as the last image for Ten's Dr. Who, gives me a fairly good idea that he does see the character that way, AND CoE Jack is really Jack. (Hence my conviction that S4 Bigger and Better will have that Jack as well.)
