Matt Smith is the New Doctor! UPDATED!

mrfids — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 18:20:59 +0000

The BBC have announced that Matt Smith will be the eleventh Doctor Who.

He is a relative unknown actor, although he has had several leading roles and starred in the BBC drama ‘The Ruby in the Smoke’ with the one and only Billie Piper (maybe she put in a good word). He will be the youngest actor to play the Doctor at 26 years old.

He was cast over Christmas and will begin filming for the fifth series of Doctor Who in the summer. David Tennant is filming four specials in 2009.

His first full episodes as the Doctor will not be until 2010. Will the transformation from David Tennant to Matt Smith take place this year ?

Just thought I might add a few pictures of Matthew Smith from The Ruby in the Smoke that I was able to find. -Ben

Paterson Joseph is the new Doctor Who?!

Scott — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 22:20:13 +0000

Since his announcement last month, Doctor Who fans everywhere have all been asking the same question: Who will be getting the keys to the TARDIS when David Tennant steps down from the role next year?

Well according to numerous sites (such as here and here) not only has the BBC offered the role to an actor, but he has accepted. Keep reading…

The Eleventh Doctor will be Paterson Joseph.

It was revealed last month that Joseph was new showrunner Steven Moffat’s favorite choice for Tennant’s successor, coming as a surprise to no one due to the two working together on 2007’s Jekyll starring James Nesbitt. Doctor Who fans might know Joseph best as “Roderick” (Rose’s fellow contestant on The Weakest Link) in the episodes ‘Bad Wolf’ and ‘The Parting of Ways’ in season one.

Also revealed is that the Doctor isn’t going to be the only thing regenerating in 2010, the TARDIS console room will also be getting a redesign. This could, if true, facilitate the shooting of the show in high definition for the first time, something that the BBC and current showrunner Russell T Davies had held back on due to the amount of work that would need doing on the key sets.

Exciting time to be a Doctor Who fan.

Doctor Who: Steven Moffat Interview

Saberj — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:37:03 +0000

Steven Moffat was interviewed over at i09 concerning his opinions on Doctor Who. He discusses how he sees the show as a family show, how writers write Doctor Who as they remember it (And he remembers it being scary). Pretty solid interview, even though he refuses to speculate on what may or may not happen in the future on the series. Give the interview a read.
