Matt Smith is the 11th Doctor, and will take over the lead role in
2010 after the end of David Tennant's specials. Congratulations to
the actor. The anouncement was made in a special Doctor Who
Confidential on BBC One last Saturday, which had an overnight average
of 6.1 million viewers. Doctor Who forums have buzzed for the past
week wondering what the new actor will be like. Just another 14 or 15
months of buzzing to go.
SciFi Overdrive http://www.scifioverdrive.com has Joey Reynolds on
both hours of this weekend's episode to discuss the casting of Matt
Smith as the Doctor. Jarrod Cooper of the Hurricane Who convention
arrives for the second hour. For listening details, check the
Scifioverdrive website.
ABC Australia will get The Next Doctor on Sunday 25 January at
7:30PM, just one month after the UK premiere. This is being counted
as fast-tracking. So far no other networks are known to be fast
tracking the episode. The closer we get to a simultaneous worldwide
experience, the better, so congratulations Austrailia!
