I agree with you.

After Matt Smith's slightly childish take on the role here's someone soooo different it hurts.

and i'm thinking it might be a reason to stop! I'll give him the first episode to convince me otherwise.

I see from your avatar you had other hopes.

I sure did!

Chuffed with that too!

At 55 is he one of the oldest to take on the role? How does he fit age wise into the others?

Cheers for that Dem!


So joint oldest with Hartnell then? Bloody hell he looks a lot better than Hartnell did! I assumed he was a lot older.

From the youngest Doctor to the joint oldest. I like that.

My initial worry (if worry is the right word) is that as he is such a well known actor how long will he stay in the role?

Especially as he also has a lead role in The Three Musketeers for the BBC.
