The Next Doctor...Part 2

1. I don't want to go back to work tomorrow.
2. Had a great afternon yesterday which ended with fish and chips and a good natter, and great company - three of my fav things.
3. I'm thilled with the choice of the next Doctor Who.
4. I don't know where all my money's gone
5. I have a nagging feeling I spent it..
6. I want to buy lots of cheap Dr Who DVDs from Play before their Sale ends, but better not until a) after my Birthday (just in case)and b) until I get paid next.
7. I'm really really REALLY thrilled with the Choice of Matt Smith to play the role of the next Doctor.

After watching the interview with the young actor on Dr Who Confidential and having now worked out what I'd seen him in before, namely Party Animals, in which he played a political researcher to a Government Minister (In which role he was, brilliant compelling and immensely likeable) I am convinced he's going to be absolutely fantastic in the role.

In an odd way it reminds me of how I first became aware of David Tenant as a young actor who starred alongside another brilliant actor Ken Stott in a Drama about Hospital Radio. DTs performance in that drama in the early 1990's seared itself into my mind in the same way that Matt Smiths fallible but likable character in Party Animals did.

He's going to be great...and with hopefully darker scarier stories by Steven Moffat I hope the series will ascend to even higher levels..... Great stuff.

I was sad to see Chris Eccleston go, I'll be sad to see David Tennant go, I'm really pleased with the choice of new Doctor....his age I think will be irrelevant.

And for any doubters, just remember the fuss every one made when Daniel Craig was cast as James Bond......Daniel turned in what I think was arguably the best Bond film EVER in the shape of Casino Royale!
