but to me he's also got this air of ...old to him if that makes sense.

I was surprised by how young he is as well, but yeah, I completely know what you mean there!

I don't know if you've seen the Confidential yet, but they had all these comments from Steven Moffatt about how he'd cast left the youngest Doctor yet and I was like, "maybe it IS Russell Tovey after all?!" They left the big reveal of who it actually was until the last ten minutes or so of the episode, the teases. :D

I'm loving all the slightly crazy hand movements, haha!

I'm pretty super excited about him already. If his Confidential interview is to be believed, the fact that Moffat was set on casting someone in their forties and decided it "had" to be Smith after his audition makes me really optimistic. And I can't help but be really charmed by Smith's interviews. He's so excited! And, like, waving his hands and covering his mouth after he blurts that he's read two of the scripts already, he's just very likable. I happened to have handy the episode of Diary of a Call Girl he appeared in, and downloaded some episodes of Party Animals, and I haven't seen his full range or anything, but he has a nice way about him.

FINALLY.

He looks interesting. I can't wait to see him in action.

DUDE. I am so glad the waiting for them to just announce it is over.

Same.

I feel like they drug this one out just to annoy us.

Of course, I also can't wait until we get a proper season, again.
