Title: Matt Smith to leave Doctor Who
Post by: Simon on June 02, 2013, 12:32
Doctor Who star Matt Smith is to leave his role as the Doctor at the end of this year, the BBC has announced.

After four years as the Time Lord on the BBC One show, viewers will see Smith's Doctor regenerate in the 2013 Christmas special.

The 30-year-old actor said working on the show had been "the most brilliant experience".

Doctor Who marks its 50th anniversary in November with a special episode, which Smith has already filmed.

The BBC said Smith's "spectacular exit" was yet to be revealed and would be "kept tightly under wraps".

TBH, I've never really liked him as The Doctor - he just seems to be too 'silly', and there's been no sense of real threat in the few episodes I've watched.

I haven't watched Doctor Who since Jon Pertwee was starring in  it.   ;D

He's been too much like David Tennant... time for a change of personality, hopefully.

Wasn't there rumours of someone older taking the role?
