Looks like the next Doctor has been revealed, ending months of speculation. At one point, it was being rumoured that the next doctor could be a woman. Now, that would have been really interesting! And maybe they’ll try that at some point, but for now the next incarnation of our favourite time traveler is Matt Smith. I hadn’t heard of him before this, but I’m sure that’s going to change!
Eccleston and Tennant (and Tom Baker much before them) have set some very high standards and we’ll have to wait and see if Smith can do justice to the role. The only unfortunate part of this whole thing is that we’ll have to wait a rather long time to find that out. With Tennant and Davies both leaving, it seems the show is going into a sort of sabbatical. Only 4 specials are scheduled for 2009 and the regular episodes starring Smith and with Moffat at the helm won’t resume until some time in 2010. Ah well!

Those are tall shoes to fill in. The drought in episodes is annoying though.

Time to rent The Ruby in the Smoke. It has both Matt Smith and Billie Piper! And it was written by a certain Philip Pullman..
