Of course, it might make it harder to imagine Tennant as Arkwright or any of the other characters as how you might have imagined them with their comic!personas before you, but I haven't found that to be a big problem. :)
You know, I have a really hard time imagining him in this role, perhaps because I looked at online images of the character long before I started listening to the audio. In fact, that's one of the things bugging me about the audio--I don't see the character in my head when I hear DT, and I can't imagine DT in a role where he's toting a gun and surrounded by so much gore. The only images I've got from DW that even begin to achieve that are of Handy and his weapon in JE (which he doesn't actually fire) and the Doctor in TND (who fires, but doesn't technically kill). He just doesn't strike me as this kind of action hero.
I don't really have an image of the other characters yet, aside from some generic archetypal images based on nationality and speech patterns.
