According to the BBC website this morning, Matt Smith is leaving Dr Who. Here is their news article.
I've been in my current role now for about 12 years and there are times when I think that I've given it my all and that I should look for something else (possibly lots of people champing at my heels as well), but then something new or exciting comes along, or I realise that I need to finish a piece of work properly rather than hand it over undone. And so here I still am. Maybe there's a lesson there for people?
So it's strange really. I grew up with Tom Baker and so he was the Doctor for me. I thought Christopher Eccleston did a great job at bringing the Doctor back and David Tennant was fantastic. But Matt Smith has always played the role well, but I never warmed to him. Maybe it was the strange story lines that got in the way, it all got a bit too clever.
I'm quite looking forward to seeing who takes over. I don't think it will be John Hurt as I kind of think he's just in it for the 50 year special to find a way for the Dr to regenerate again when he has theoretically had enough now. But we shall see.
Roll on the Autumn - but can we have a nice summer first please?
