Matt Smith is interviewed in The Guardian this weekend and had a few interesting things to say about the eleventh incarnation of the Doctor.

Asked how he is going to make the Doctor his own, Smith told the paper, “He’s a little reckless. He’ll walk into a room and have a million things to do. And, as opposed to knowing exactly how to get out, he’ll take it up to the precipice: don’t know, don’t know, don’t know, and boom, there’s the idea. And it’s a bit mad and reckless. It’s very doof, doof, doof. And he’s got a companion who I think is the hardest to handle. And she’s quite mad. But the Doctor’s quite mad as well. So together…”

Smith also commented on the more somber side of the Doctor’s personality, “I think it’s impossible to escape that with the Doctor. He’s lost so many people and devastated so much… bad or good, he’s brought whole empires down. He’s seen a lot, and that’s part of his personality. But that’s also what gives him such joy and effervescence.”

  • Not totally impressed with Matt Smith's interview. He seems like an alright guy, like the footballer angle in comparison to acting. However, I've got a sinking feeling that his acting will be, like his GPA, very average. As far as Karen Gillam, I don't gather "Mad as a Box of Cats" at all. MORE like...Alot of unconvincing staring is all I've seen from her...We've seen the same in the classic series before, and survived, but I'm thinking, something ain't "right" (Like what how that "Joseph" in the interview feels)

    I've got a feeling this is going to turn into the "Alex Kingston Show" when she finally arrives because her abilities are so far above the lot. I was a very huge proponent of Matt Smith BUT now....Ehhhhh, I dunno'....I'm thinking they might want to keep Episode 12 and 13 in flux just in case we need another regeneration to Number 12 (Remember, Alex Kingston said the Doctor she knew was MUCH older SO maybe give Pertwee's son a call eh?).

    Wish 'em luck!. I mean, I really want Matt to succeed BUT ehhhh...Better give Pertwee's son that second reading
