So then, what's our considered opinion of Matt Smith?

[Sysman]

Much better than I anticipated.

Agreed, but I don't like the bits where he goes all Robson Green and asks himself questions. That'll be the script of course.

[cailin maith]

Can you add another option that says "as good as the last fella" please?

I like him, I wasn't sure at first but although, it took a few episodes, I do like him.

[SupremeSpod]

Tom Baker was my fave.

Smith has given the role some of the quirkyness that makes him a good Dr. Who imho.

However, Alex Kingston would be brilliant as a female Dr.

[MarillionFan]

I thought he was good,nice transition from Tennant to Smith, right balance of nuttiness and seriousness.

Now please get rid of the irritating redhead and all will be well.

I thought Stella was almost as good as Tennant, but found that Guiness is smoother than Smith.

I loved Manic Miner. No idea what the rest of you are on about.

Is it OK if I just give you my ill-considered and prejudiced opinion based purely on the fact that he is an ugly muppet?

Sure. Acting's a fairly subjective thing, if you don't like him, you don't like him.

[Platypus]

Is it OK if I just give you my ill-considered and prejudiced opinion based purely on the fact that he is an ugly muppet?

That's what we do about you, so I guess fair is fair, it's OK.

[MarillionFan]

Not going to vote.

I think he was good but seems to be completely indestructible which I'm not keen on

[TheFaQQer]

He was much better than I thought he was going to be, particularly taking over from Tennant.

I still think it's a shame that Eccleston only did one season.

[Gold Dalek]

Too Metro, a tosser of the highest order

Oh...and he needs an assistant with bigger norks

[centurian]

Much better than I thought he would be - he had some big shoes to fill.

The main disappointment this year was the quality of some of the episodes.

[d000hg]

He's had a series now to give us a chance to evaluate him. I personally like how he's retained the eccentricity but brought his own style, what's the crowd's view?
