New Dr Who Matt Smith


Dr Who with the new Doctor, Matt Smith premiered last night on the BBC in the UK.  The Eleventh Hour, according to the UK's Guardian newspaper, seems to have even won over fans of David Tennant, the previous Dr Who, who many believed was the best ever Doctor.  That's how smh.com.au saw it too.

The Sun reported today that the first Matt Smith episode attracted 8m viewers, the same as David Tennant's first ep. The Mirror thought Smith was a convincing Dr Who.


The Telegraph says Smith takes on the role 'perfectly'.

Matt Smith is the 11th Doctor.  At just 27, he's also by far the youngest Doctor.


In Australia, The Eleventh Hour premieres on ABC1, Sunday night, 18th April at 7.30pm, barely two weeks after the UK premiere.  In a first, fans of Dr Who can watch the episode on the ABC's iView service two days earlier, starting from midnight Friday, 16th April.  It will be interesting to see the numbers on iView!
