The Doctor Who fanbase seems to be pretty divided on the subject of Matt Smith, who was announced as the eleventh doctor at the end of 2008. Some say he's the perfect candidate, who has the personality & quirkiness required to take on the role, while others are interpreting the announcement as proof that the BBC is pandering to the 'Twilight-generation' of younger viewers.
Having seen Matt Smith in a couple of roles, most recently in the Billie Piper-centric series 'Secret Diary of a Call Girl', I just don't feel he has what it takes. Eccleston & Tennant brought something fresh to the table, an endearing charm. Smith, in my opinion, isn't visually different enough from David T to be taken seriously in his own right. He looks like he's planning to bring a lot of energy to the role, which, after us all being used to Ten's manic hyperness, has the potential to get old pretty fast.
However, I'm open to the possibility that I'll be 100% wrong & Smith will make a wonderful doctor, but somehow I'm just not feeling that'll be the case.
