What do people reckon? I've only seen him in the drama with Billie Piper where he was really good. Not sure of what I make of such a young doctor though.
Still I think time will tell how well he does with it. Certainly got a lot to live up to following David Tennant.

Here's a link for anyone who's not seen him yet: http://i.thisislondon.co.uk/i/pix/2008/05/41a_06_matt_243x334.jpg

/Somehow unqualified comment, as I've only watched the Eccleston-Season and some epsiodes with Tom Baker and Peter Davidson/

1. Reaction: Hm, he's cute
2. Reaction: Hm, they're getting younger, don't they?

And that's all I can say Laughing I've never heard of him, before or watched any movie with him Rolling Eyes .

Eccleston was okay, but David Tennant was definitely better, and funnier. And just to be all fan-girl- Yup, definitely the nicest looking Razz

Well, Eccleston was my first doctor Laughing that gives him an advantage, and I really liked his character.
(But now after watching a few Tennant-episodes: yeah, he's cute...but I have somehow problems taking him very serious Rolling Eyes )

After the unqualified success of Tennant ad Russel T Davies (the writer), I am putting my trust in Smith and Stephen Moffat (the new writer). I haven't seen Smith act, and it will be interesting to see how a younger person does it, but I'm looking forward to four more Tennant episodes first!!!

I am not sure. I liked Eccleston as the doctor, he certainly played the "quirky" role again.
I love David Tennant and yes there is the cute element but there was something very disturbing when the Doctor was doing something he didn't want to do. I always thought that the you could almost see the dark thoughts shift behind his eyes.
Not sure on this new bloke as I haven't seen any of his work. I don't think he is cute at all but then he is a bit younger than me Confused . I guess we will have to see but it depends on the writing over the next year and how they handle the regeneration.

Oh yes. Can't forget him just yet Very Happy Wish there were more to come though really. I have to say I think he's my favourite doctor, and I didnt think i'd think that, when he started.
