BUT (never start a sentence with but except for dramatic effect) Tom baker and Patrick Troughton are exceptions which prove the rule (and both Doctor Who of course). All the ladies seem to be there for A) eye candy, B) a plot mechanism, C) to scream a lot and be "in distress, or D) to be a baddie!
Stop motion is the star and this has been proved by the lack of popularity of the Sky T.V. series of Sinbad with CGI effects.
Am I wrong?
