If you look at Series 4 when Ten met Caecilius in Pompeii, the Doctor took on his face as the 12th Doctor as a reminder to himself re: his behaviour and morality. (Cont.)
And then when Rose Tyler and the Human Doctor were left in the parallel Earth, Rose was essentially tasked with teaching the Human Doctor to move on from his violence etc. (Like she did with Nine). (Cont)
Then in the 50th Anniversary, BP was The Moment and took on that face for a very similar reason to the Capaldi situation we see in a later season. (Cont.)
So I genuinely think this regeneration into BP is absolutely fine and in keeping with the show history, even if it is a bit sensational. Yes it is sensational. Yes RTD is probably trying to get the ratings up. I don't care and my heart is so happy.
