andrasteThe next Doctor ...
... so my first reaction was 'who?' I've never heard of Matt Smith until just now. This will be the first time the Doctor has been younger than me.
I think going with another skinny white boy is a boring choice right after Tennant. However, that doesn't say anything about how he'll handle the role. After all these years, I do trust Moffat's judgement, and I hear the new boy was properly enthused during the Confidential. I am certainly not prepared to declare that Smith will ruin the show forever based on such scant evidence :-).
Apparently we are going to have to wait until at least 2013 or so to get a person of colour or a woman (or both!) in the part, but it certainly could have been worse.
