BBC’s Who page “Doctor Who has been the most brilliant experience for me as an actor and a bloke, and that largely is down to the cast, crew and fans of the show. I’m incredibly grateful to all the cast and crew who work tirelessly every day, to realise all the elements of the show and deliver Doctor Who to the audience. Many of them have become good friends and I’m incredibly proud of what we have achieved over the last four years…. The fans of Doctor Who around the world are unlike any other; they dress up, shout louder, know more about the history of the show (and speculate more about the future of the show) in a way that I’ve never seen before, your dedication is truly remarkable. Thank you so very much for supporting my incarnation of the Time Lord, number Eleven, who I might add is not done yet, I’m back for the 50th anniversary and the Christmas special! It’s been an honour to play this part, to follow the legacy of brilliant actors, and helm the TARDIS for a spell with ‘the ginger, the nose and the impossible one’. But when ya gotta go, ya gotta go and Trenzalore calls. Thank you guys. Matt.”

Who do you want as the next Who?

The British paper The Sunday Times says “Sexterminate! Doctor Who may come back as a Woman” – now since it’s long been established that there are/were woman Timelords (is that a assexual term? or would it be TimeLadies?) – that seems unlikely, but hey! Let’s have some fun with this.Personally I’d love to see some weird wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff and see my favorite companion return as an empowered Doctor – Billie Piper. I have to admit… I started to tear up a little just searching for this gif.
