David Tennant - Talks Matt Smith

The Picture Above was Made by Me, Please do not use anywhere else.

In a Recent Interview on What's on TV magazine, David Tennant expressed his thoughts on Matt Smith playing the Eleventh Doctor and revealed that they had a 'Doctor to Doctor' talk and said that Matt Smith had the 'Right Idea' on Playing the 900 year old Time-Lord.

"We chatted on the phone not long ago and we did exchange a few opinions on what’s about to unfold for him, but advice is a very dangerous thing. Matt’s got an extraordinary journey coming up in all sorts of ways and I’m sure he’ll find his own way through it."

"I could tell Matt was very up for it, though, and excited in all the right ways. He says he’s going to take it very seriously and he seems to have the right idea about playing The Doctor, so far as I can tell."

Matt Smith will take over as the Doctor next year in Series 5. And Tennant will continue to play the Tenth Incarnation for specials due to be broadcast in 2009 and 2010.

This Maybe good news for some and bad news for others if you are not a fan of Matt Smith.

Matt Smith - I'm Not a Doctor Who Fan

The Above Picture Was Made By Me

Matt Smith, who is due to appear as The Eleventh Doctor next year, claimed to not being a Doctor Who Fan and saying he has rarely watched it.

"I wasn't a Who fan. I have to be honest - I can't claim to have watched the show in its entirety or have been a follower as avidly as some people are."

Lets hope he gets more into it over the next year as he is due to appear in Series 5 as The Eleventh Doctor.

Just a Coincidence...?

Most people were surprised to hear that Matt Smith would be playing the Doctor, but some other people? Maybe Not... More than a day before he was revealed Betfair.com changes Smith's odds from 33/1 to 1/3 favourite. BBC went to extreme lengths to make sure that no one would find out as only a few Beeb executives knew beforehand. A spokeswoman said:

"You don't bet on an unknown name like that without basing it on something. Some people seemed to know about him. However, the majority didn't and we were still taking far more money on favourites like Paterson Joseph, David Morrissey and James Nesbitt. We don't believe there were irregular betting patterns and there was certainly nothing to set our alarm bells ringing."

Matt Smith is The Doctor!

Earlier on tonight it was revealed on the special Doctor Who Confidential that, 26 year old actor, Matt Smith, will play The Eleventh Doctor in Series 5 Next Year.
