No more Matt Smith, bring back Tennant!

Well damn that sucks. i thought he signed on for another year.

It really shows how much british talent is valued in this day and age.

Bye Matt you will be missed but now comes months and months of intensive speculation on the next Doctor

inb4 "it should be a black guy" and/or "It should be a woman"

also, please god not Cumberbatch, he's a great actor, but he's too heavily invested in peoples minds as Sherlock, wouldn't work at ALL to make him the Doctor as well.

[apepi]

Oh dear god no, I'd rather keep Smith forever than Cumberbatch.

How about um.....Hugh Laurie? I am just saying it...I know all of you were thinking of it....

My knowledge of Britain actors is fairly lacking though.

I think this day in age it is racist to pick people because of their skin color, just pick them because they will be good at the job, not because of their race to not be racist.

[BloodyAngel12]

Cumberbatch has gone all hollywood , so i dont think he will be the next Doctor.

lol Hugh Laurie would be fucking awesome. I highly doubt it could be though.

Yeah..wtf....thought we already had confirmation on him doing S8. I'm....very not happy with this.

im curious to see other peoples opinions of the next doctor IF they go to the female or black direction. i dont remember any names but theres only a couple women i can see pulling it off as well as black actors. what do others think?

"Matt Smith, the 11th Doctor, has announced plans to exit his role on the BBC's Doctor Who after four years on the show. Smith joined the show is 2010 and will depart following the upcoming, highly anticipated, 50th anniversary special and then the Christmas special in which he will be regenerated into what will become the 12th Doctor." -IGN

Matt Smith is leaving a lot sooner than we expected. The 50th and the Christmas Special better be some fantastic episodes to say goodbye!

The Sun are terrible, but if it is actually a woman i'll most likely stop watching. It just doesn't suit the role, seeing the actor change often is bad enough but a gender change would be horrible.

[ELYPOP]

Honestly, just no to a female Doctor. They already explored a female equivalent to him with River Song.
Plus, it'd make their relationship rather.. awkward.

Nonononononono! The Doctor is a male alien who regenerates, not a regenerating cross-gender alien. Just stick to males please. >_<

Shame Matt Smith is going...bring back David Tennant, yum. :3

[Sivick]

it should be a ginger! the doctor always wanted red hair.

[Anakso]

Matt smith going out of it :<
I'm so sad, I loved him as the doctor. Took me a while to get used to him though so it will take me a while to get used to whoever the new doctor is.

[Immitis]

i knew he was gonna leave soon but i really thought we would get atleast one more series

[Anakso]

I just bought season 7 too, get home to find out this is the last season I'll be seeing him in!

Only a Christmas special left to go.

and the 50th so thats 2 episodes unless they make the christmas episode a 2 parter like davids

[PenguinChan]

Still yet to watch Doctor Who. I kind of want to, since I actually like some of the derivatives that have come from the shows history. Just don't know what season to start with, and which doctor. Any opinions on which would be the best to go for?

[Pandragon]

I have heard some good things about this, I want to start watching this, but I don't know where to begin at. Any advice?

[Immitis]

if you want to start right away you could start at the eleventh hour since its kind of a fresh start since theres a new doctor and a new companion.

however i strongly recommend starting with the first episode of series 1 rose.
