I still don't understand why people drool over her.

I used to think she was hot when she was in the Kevin Bishop Show but as Amy Pond Im so put off. Hope series 2 is her last in Dr Who, I love Karen and I love Dr Who but omg I hate Amy Pond.

After Matt Smith's first year in the titular role of Doctor Who (a very good one at that, in my opinion), there were rumors that, like Ninth Doctor Christopher Eccleston, he might be leaving the show just a series after he started. Various reasons were given, including Smith's desire to move to America and focus on films, or that ratings for "The Big Bang," were bad enough to send him packing.

Steven Moffat, Doctor Who's current showrunner, has dismissed those rumors. The question of a regeneration was posed to him by BBC News after Benedict Cumberbatch, the star of Moffat's miniseries Sherlock, didn't deny an inquiry of whether or not he would be the Doctor in his upcoming recurring role in the series. "Maybe," Cumberbatch replied simply, and the rumor mill began to churn.

Moffat has decided to put a stop to the rumors of Cumberbatch ? or anyone ? replacing Smith. "There is no vacancy," Moffat stated, putting at ease the minds of Smith fans everywhere. "Matt Smith is the Doctor and he's been an astonishing success and ? who knows ? maybe he'll never regenerate again."

Hasnt Smith signed on for 5 years anyway? i'm sure i read somewhere that Moffat had a trilogy of seasons planned telling an overall story.

Didn't realise The Big Bang did badly in the ratings though; I know over here in Oz it was well received (at least by my friends).

It wasn't that The Big Bang did bad in the ratings, it just was't as high as previous episodes. It was still the #6 most watched show in the UK for the week I believe. Also, the episode has an appreication index rating of like 89% or something which is the highest of series 5 in fact.

Success? Clearly he has a different definition of success? And never regenerating again? Don't expect most fans back then.

I think Moffat was pulling the chain on that one. :)

Good. I am a Matt Smith fan. He will only get better as time goes on. He was brilliant for a first year Doctor, especially replacing one as popular as DT.

It was just the Big Bang episode, compared to David Tennant's last series the ratings for this series have been much lower throughout the whole series.

I have seen the limited edition box on amazon. Seems a bit expensive. It's cheaper to get all 13 episodes off iTunes. iTunes = ?25. The DVD collection = ?50.

Anyway, I found the Prom Video on YouTube. Got to say Matt Smith's live acting is awesome. He seemed out of breath but kept going! Awesome, and I loved the bit where he goes "Matt Smith, what a dull name" :laugh:

Doctor Who on the Simpsons... I would just love to see that! :laugh:

I think they should also put Matt in Family Guy. The Doctor and Peter would surely be a laugh!. Something good, not just a cameo from the Tom Baker opening in "Blue Harvest". Which I still found funny though.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
