…Matt Smith?
Yes, apparently. Putting an end to all the rampant speculation, the 26 year old will be taking over the role of the Doctor in 2010.
A relative newcome to the scene, Smith already has experience working opposite companions to the Doctor, having played opposite Billie Piper (Rose Tyler) in TV adaptations of Philip Pullman’s Sally Lockhart novels The Ruby in the Smoke and The Shadow of the North as Jim Taylor, and again in Secret Diary of a Call Girl.
Now let the ritualized mocking of Rich Johnston commence.

Really? There really wasn't anyone more, well, Doctor-ish? Hmmmmmm….
They played it safe. Oh, to be a BBC showrunner… I'd have cast somebody completely weird. Like Sam Troughton, or Noel Clarke. Let the Doctor wake up looking like Mickey the Idiot… or turn him into a woman. A really, really hot woman… but keep the female companion. Get a buncha lesbian subtext in there… or drive away my entire audience and cast a rotund, fiftyish American porno actor in the role… Ron Jeremy as the Doctor! (hee!)Miles
