An unknown actor named Matt Smith has been unveiled as the new Doctor Who. He will succeed David Tennant who is leaving the role after three successful seasons as the Time Lord. The actor is best known for appearing alongside Billie Piper in The Ruby in The Smoke. Last night Smith, who will be the youngest actor to play the role so far, said he was 'flabbergasted' at winning the role. "It's exciting, nerve-wracking," he said. We have a video interview done by BBC with Matt that you can view by clicking link below.

The man who successfully revived one of the oldest and longest running Sci-Fi series Russell T Davies said: "When I heard who they cast as the eleventh Doctor my initial reaction was, I was just so jealous that they would get to work with him.

Executive producer Stephen Moffatt said: "He's younger than any Doctor before and younger than any Doctor whose been suggested in the Press."

Fellow executive producer Piers Wenger said: "He has the look of someone who lives before. Those are the sort of qualities that got him the part and which make him the doctor."
