I like the idea of their landings being random. I think it makes it far more interesting, and as said in the OP, takes the option for big huge storyarcs (which I'm not a fan of) off the table. There is that thing in the early days where they had to find a reason for the Doctor to stay where he was rather than just leaving, but I think with the First Doctor especially, that was his nature. He wanted away from the troubles and I think Barbara and Ian are the main reason he started taking more of a caring interest. They forced him to because it was in their human nature to do so themselves. These days the Doctor can't leave anything alone and so they wouldn't have that problem. As soon as he finds out there is something to stick his nose into he is off and at it. Also, as Nyki points out, they need to have more planets and non Earth locations. Having random materialisations might cut that out a bit. Or at least give us more historicals.
