BEHOLD! The face of the NEW DOCTOR! (Or at least he will be in 2010.)
From the Telegraph UK: 'Matt Smith, the 26 year old star of the BBC comedy drama Party
Animals, has been named as the new Doctor Who due to take over from
David Tennant in 2010'
Doctor Who has gone through a tremendous revival since the show was resurrected a few years ago. I myself, being a fan of the Tom Baker era, was won over by David Tennant's portrayal of the Time Lord and have returned to the cynicism that engulfs fanboys when faced with change in their poly-bagged and boarded, static universes.
But hey, I'm sure I'll get over it soon enough. The showrunners for Doctor Who have shown a fine instinct for taking the character in new directions when the times required them, so I'll trust them with this move as well.
What do other fans of the good Doctor have to say?
