...To be discussed here, as the announcement is set to be made today.
Eagerly awaiting the "Confidential" special - but I'm wondering if I'll watch it along with the masses or look for the leaked info first. The special Confidential is supposed to have the first interview and statement with the actor, so it's known at least in the BBC circles plus whoever's been editting together the special show.

He looks a bit peculiar, but seems like a good enough actor from the few clips they showed. I remember not thinking much of David Tennant when he was first chosen, but really liked him once I'd seen a few episodes with him, so I'm reserving my judgment until 2010.

I can see this be very awkward if this new doctor ever runs into any of his former companions. I shudder to think how Captain Jack with react...

It would also make the choice for companions interesting. It's extremely easy to go for the pretty girl of course, but any relation with a 26 year old actually being 900+ is going to be interesting.
On a side note, I noticed how (in most online places), people are already hating, bitching, moaning and burning themselves on the streets.I thought Star Trek fans were the nitpicking lot, but the amount of hate is really surprising me.

I suppose it depends on what you watch. Personally I've never seen or heard of him before, which is not a terrible thing in and of itself. That being the case however, nobody can claim to have any informed opinion as to how good or bad a job he'll do. We'll see.

I think he looks fine. I've seen a couple of pictures. He seems to have a bit of Doctor-ish-ness about him. I'm rather pleased with the choice. I guess only time will tell. I have faith in the Doctor Who producers.
No one liked Donna Noble as a regular companion before season 4 - but now she's a fan favourite!

Embryo of Frankenstein ('s Monster)... that's a little cruel. Yeah he's odd looking, but hey, all the Doctor's were a little odd looking - I mean look at Tom Baker and Christopher Eccleston!!
I do agree though - they did sorta go with 'Tennant Lite' - no real deviation in the formula there.
He is, I must say, very likable in that interview I posted the link to above.
I like Catherine Tate and I thought she did a good job as Donna Noble. I must be that singular fan.

Indeed, the Who fan community make the Trek community look like amateurs. It's disturbing that given the average person hasn't even heard of Matt Smith, let alone seen him act, that they can form such polarised and hateful opinions of the guy after only two-days. For all we know this guy could be the best things that's ever happened to Doctor Who, and realistically until we see in a years time just how he's going to portray the character it's beyond ridiculous to be acting like the whole world is coming to an end.

People acted the same way about Daniel Craig as Bond and now... well I don't know if he's a fan favourite as I don't know any major Bond fans, but he's certainly critically acclaimed.
