I’ve been a sucker for the BBC’s Dr. Who since I saw my first Tom Baker episode. It was a total escape for me as a kid watching old episodes of Star Trek on cable and this strange little British show that played on my local PBS station. I can’t say I really understood everything, but I was always glued to my screen to see what strange adventures were going to come up next.
Ever since the BBC decided to bring back the show in 2005, I’ve been riveted to every single episode. Now that the current actor to play the role, David Tennet (my favorite thus far) is leaving, along with most of the creative staff, it was time to start naming the rest of the actors.
Matt Smith (strangely also the name of my very non-English brother) is taking over for Tennet while new actress Gillan (seen below) takes over as the new companion. I can’t wait for the new epsidoes to start.

The full story is here.
