Is that his costume?
Si.

3rd Jan 2009, 6:27 PM #103I don't know if it's my natural optimisim kicking in or something, but I was rather impressed with how he came across in that interview, and I can see some qualities there that will make for a fine Doctor- especially the finger waggling thing which was brilliant. The last shot after the monatge of Doctors just seemed so right to me.

Are you taking the piss Sugartongs? Or are you really deciding to give up on Doctor Who before the new Doctor has even been seen on screen? Have an open mind man!

The fact that facially, he reminds me of Richard Kiel is a bit worrying.

I'm know the Tardis is bigger on the inside, but even still I'm not sure if he'll be able to fit his forehead in there.
To be fair, after the initial shock, I'm thinking it could have been far worse a choice (James Nesbitt, Paterson Joseph, Lesley Sharpe), and I will withhold judgement until he's at least had the chance to establish himself as the Doctor, that's only fair after all. I'm genuinely disappointed that it's not Chiwetel Ejiofor though, as I think he's an excellent actor."RIP Henchman No.24."

I have to admit that he looks great on the BBC website.
I’m being extremely clever up here and there’s no one to stand around looking impressed! What’s the point in having you all?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmn. What an anticlimax. But doubtless I'll be as wrong in my gut reaction as I was when heard Catherine Tate was going to be the companion. At least I hope...

It's like I'm 5 years old on New Year's Eve! I fell asleep an hour before the programme came on! So when I woke up they were talking about Colin Baker.
I missed all the suspense and when it was revealed it was Matt Smith...
Pretty much! at least we won't have to worry about him snogging his companions
(my eyes!!!MY EYES!!!!) I wish him all the luck and hope him every success. But he seemed a bit David Tennant with the clips they showed of Matt?
Oh well, better get used to it! And as I've said they usually win me over.
...but I still reserve the right to take the piss out of him!

Like Si, maybe it's a sort of natural optimism (where Who's concerned at least) kicking in, but I quite liked him!!
I'm old enough to remember the Bonnie Langford riots of the mid-80s, and the harsh sanctions put in place by the Outpost Gallifreyan Government when pop princess Billie Piper was cast, so I can't get worked up into any kind of 'we hate this guy' frenzy over this announcement - I dearly hope that OG and its ilk aren't full of anti-Smith posts (although I know they will be, so shall be steering well clear).
I must admit, when his name popped up yesterday I could just vaguely remember seeing him in that Ruby in the Smoke thing, and him not making much of an impression - but from the brief interview today, and the clips from his other work, I genuinely think he's got 'something' about him which marks him out. With a bit of luck we've done it again, and secured an up & coming actor just as his star is going into the ascendant (ie, just as with Tennant). Certainly, I've pleased they've had the confidence to go with a virtual-unknown rather than 'a name'.
Also, I was at least as interested to finally put a face to the name of Piers Wenger, even if he did seem to be suffering with a severe cold when he was interviewed!
So.... good choice, I say, and although I'm sure I'll enjoy the 2009/2010 specials and more of David, I'm really looking forward to number eleven.
Let's give him a chance, nay-sayers!!

Hmm, he does seem to have a certain charisma, even if he does remind me of those slightly pretentious Southern types who used to get up my nose at university. But I think the confidence in him that RTD and Moffat exuded in the interviews speaks volumes.

I have not seen anything that Matt Smith has been in so he is a complete new commer to me but I am not going to make any real judgement until he has had a go at playing the Doctor. I made that mistake the past season when I had read somewhere that with Catherine Tate as Donna that they would be going more comedy in the season than there has been and I was mistaken. So I will give Matt a chance.

I simply REFUSE to believe that anybody could decide not to watch a TV show in fifteen months based on a five minute interview.
Come on guys, get a grip!

I'm not terribly happy about this. About 10 years ago me and my best friend fancied the same woman, and I lost out. His name was Matt Smith.
Thank you very much - now my favourite TV program is going to remind me of Kate Louise Fox now!!! And usually I turn to TV for escapism.
It does make sense to have a younger Doctor - there is a lot of a physical aspect to the role now. David Tennant is leaving to spend more time with his back and less time on a harness.
That said I did kind of warm up a little to Matt Smith, and I can see there is potential, but I'm not convinced. He is wierd looking, kind of reminiscent of Frankensteins creature me and the wife thought. And that emo hair style has to go!
The real problem was I thought RTD could be a bit pretensious in Confidential. And here comes Steven Moffat to up the ante!
