OUT WITH THE OLD IN THE WITH THE WHO


OUT WITH THE OLD IN THE WITH THE WHO

By Sara Wallis; Jon Horsley 26/12/2009

THE BEST SHOW ON TV

Christmas Day may be behind us but the great seasonal TV goes on. Here's our round-up of all the tasty telly treats between now and next year!

DAVID TENNANT

Which one's he? Doctor No 10.

How old is he? 38.

What else has he done, then?

Lots of Shakespeare.

Best Doctor credential? Snappiestdressed time lord since Tom Baker.

He says: "It was very emotional saying cheerio.

Filming the final scene was very, very sad.

Doctor Who meant so much to me."

They say: "I think David has taken the Doctor beyond where anyone thought it would go," comments co-star Catherine Tate. "And he has brilliant hair!"

We say: We'll all miss David's boggled-eyed wit, but this is a fantastic, tension-laden ending for the current Doctor.

MATT SMITH

Which one's he? Doctor No 11.

How old is he? 27.

What else has he done, then? The BBC's Party Animals.

Best Doctor credential? He has the trademark crazy hair.

He says: "I feel proud and honoured to have been given this opportunity. I hope to learn from the standards set by David and do the show justice.

I can't wait."

They say: "He's a really nice guy and I think he's going to be great," reckons John Barrowman.

And Billie Piper thinks Matt has the "right energy" for the role.

We say: Don't worry, Matt Smith will no doubt fill David Tennant's Converse basketball boots to perfection.
