Bring Christopher Eccleston back for the love of Christ! Lets just switch between Eccleston and Tennant being doctors in a “strange Doctor loop” or something.

aaah, I’m so nervous! This’ll be the first regeneration I’ll witness that I don’t know what’s coming, since I got into the show so recently. I have to admit that Ten will always be my Doctor, but Matt Smith looks quite interesting. -crosses toes and waits-

I don’t truthfully know if I will watch the new season, I might out of curiosity and give him a chance….But he will never be as good as Tennant..NOBODY WILL…I pray that one day Tennant willl return as the legendary time lord as he travels through-out time and space…and I must agree with Esp..He looks somewhat dark…As for his companion, again No-one coudl replace rose…But I might give this new one a chance..Though I also agree with the ones that say he looks a little young..

Really disagree with their choice this time. He is way way too young and I dont think he will be good as the doctor. I personally will stop watching it after all these years when they cast him. Would have been better off with a darker actor… I guess Im just a sad lonely Tovey fan D=.

Some people are saying that the interview with the new doctor who was not very impressive i on the other hand saw somethings that impressed me, his movements as well as his answers. His movements are very swift yet very mechanical such as the previous doctors his posture is quite prominent and relaxed such as the doctors and his style of clothing is quite similar to the doctors showing that A. he has quite a connection to the character or B. he has a great PR man/woman. His answers were quite of which i would see in the mostly all of the doctors such as the answer to the question about what he did when he found out he got the role, not knowing what to do but to just go on, pace around and watch T.V. it was quite interesting to see the very small and minute things that he and the role had in common. i can see a bright future for this new Doctor so says me.

Phil -

I haven’t watched much Dr. Who. Where should I begin? I tried to begin with the stuff in the 60s, and I couldn’t stand it.

Please advise!

not to pre-judged too harshly… but it appears this series is about to “jump the baby shark” with this choice for the new Dr. Who and what could be obviously worse then they might be following a “Merlin” aging backwards time angle…

After watching the “Silence in the Library” episode where Prof. River Song mentions to The Doctor that he (as Tenant) is “younger than I’ve ever seen you”. So she has seen him more than once, perhaps in more than one re-incarnation of himself. That leaves me with the impression she won’t be returning with the new young guy… oh wait “Nooooooowwwww, you’re younger than I’ve ever seen you” line is just begging for use.

Good thing, Tenant is supposed to be in 4 of those special length pre-episodes first… and I’ll watch any episode if Sally Sparrow is the companion to the Dr.

Each new Doctor deserves a chance. However, my worst Doctor (Davison) failed IMO by being too bland and too…dare I say it….young. Perfect for me would have been Peter Bowles (To The Manor Born, Only When I Laugh etc) ie tall, posh and old. I must admit I was quite alarmed when Smith was revealed on the BBC show….reminded me of Frankenstein’s Monster with that square head and black jacket & crew neck!

Ah that will be a sad day; Tennant is by far my favorite doctor. I have been a fan of Dr Who since I was a little kid and happen upon it after an old NOVA episode on PBS. I have seen many doctors come and go and even if Mr. Smith brings something wonderfully new and entertaining to the Doctor, Tennant will be missed.

Geez, this guy is younger than me!

Well, I hope he can fill the shoes of David Tennant.

@Mom;

AFAIK, Season 4 finished. In the UK, one of the specials aired on Christmas day.
That’s all I know.

I have a really dumb question maybe someone can help me with. I don’t have cable TV so I don’t know what is “currently” going on with Dr. Who. I watch Dr. Who streaming from Netflix.

Anyway, the question:
What season is currently showing?

I like him (a bit young, but would love to see a Cougarish companion for him hehe), but hate hate hate the hair! That is something that can be fixed, though..

Well, it will be a lot less creepy when they have the sweet young things drooling over him (anyone else beyond sick of that theme?) but I prefer The Doctor to look a bit older. It gives him more gravitas.

He has a silly face, if you ask me.

hey.I’m from the UK and think this guy will be an amazing Doctor! I honesty couldn’t have imagined anyone else doing it as well as he will. x

I would have voted for Richard Ayoade.

That would have been awesome. Doctor Who as a belligerent shaman obsessed with "the crunch"...

The only problem I have with him is that he seems to similar too Tennant. Each doctor, IMO, should be completely different from his previous incarnation.

Otherwise, let’s just wait and see.

Damnation! I was kinda hoping Jo Brand the comedienne would get it, perhaps in an alternate universe then…….
Though from the brief interview, I like this guy, he has that foppish English eccentric quality and a bit bumbling, though not in the Hugh Grant manner. Seems to have a penchant for expressive hands which is good.

You want him to spin your knobs oh you mean the TARDIS’s.
