Smith on 50th Classic Doctor Criticisms

Matt Smith has responded to criticisms that more Classic era Doctors were not called back for The Day of the Doctor.

At the Calgary Expo he said: “It was such a difficult thing to get everyone in it and I think Steven did a really good job. They got Tom Baker in!

He adds: “I think there’s always an argument to say ‘get as many Doctors in as possible’ but I also think practically there are constraints. I was pleased to get Tom Baker, David Tennant and have John Hurt.

However, Smith admits that he was a bit disappointed Christopher Eccleston didn’t return, although he remains hopeful it’ll happen one day: “It would have been nice to get Chris Eccleston. I love Chris’ Doctor and I think he’s great. Maybe one day.”
