Smith's not all that much younger than Tennant

When Tennant got the role he was 35; this kid is 26.

Tennant didn't really look 35, though. To go back farther, Davidson was only 30 when he started filming, and Matt Smith will be 27 when he starts. So it's not like he's that dramatically out of range.

True - but I would have liked to have seen an older person.

I agree, but I can roll with this. Like I said, just because Smith's not my ideal doesn't mean he won't be good. Nobody can know until we see him in action.

Actually, when Tennant got the role, he was 34. When he started seriously playing the role, he was 35. By the time Smith starts actually playing the role, he'll be 28 (remember, he doesn't actually begin until 2010).
