If anything, it was the second one which most felt samey to me - just having the Doctor there this time round changed the game. But yes, if they want to do a fourth they'd be pushing it.
And yes, Brunel quite correctly failed to believe Dionysius Lardner. Similarly, whoever builds the first FTL drive will probably delight in showing Einstein et al to be full of holes. Although even once he's been superseded, he's never going to seem like as much of a prick as Newton does now. I think it's the photo with the tongue that'll save him.
