Found the Doctor Who Confidential to watch and I think I get why this Matt Smith guy was cast. You can see in his mannerisms he has that quirky kind of thing that you (I, anyway) have come to expect as part of The Doctor. So, I'm actually a little excited about this change now. It's strange that he's so young, but he has that "old" quality, too, that Moffatt talked about. Should be an interesting change. And also, who's the new companion? What will Jack think of this hot, young thing as The Doctor? Hmmm.... Guess we'll find out in 2010!

I saw the confidential too. A few fears are allayed. But I will reserve further judgment until I actually see him in action.

One suggestion for a companion I found interesting is that they should get someone older, which could offset perceptions of the peoples they encounter who may assume the older (looking) person is "in charge". The companion could also provide a steady stream of amazement that this "young kid" has so much knowledge and influence.

Yes, an older companion would be great! Bring back Donna!! LOL That would be HILARIOUS! Or even a guy. It's about time there was another male companion, isn't it?

Mmm, I hadn't heard the new Dr had been cast. I'll have to go check this guy out. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm just picturing Captain John's reaction...I love how he calls Ianto "Eye Candy." I'm sure he'd come up with something similarly respectfully derogatory for 11. :D

I like the look of Matt Smith - never heard of him before, but I like him already. He looks suitable alien, and I agree with you about his quirky mannerisms. He's cute! I'm looking forward to the change now, as much as I love David Tennant.

I've never heard of him before, either. But I'm a bit less apprehensive about David leaving now that I've seen this little bit of him. Plus, I do trust Steven Moffatt to know what he's doing. *fingers crossed*
