He played alongside Billie Piper in the Ruby in the Smoke. I remember him being pretty good . I await with interest and I reckon it could well pull the female teen market in putting in a babe in arms...

Pants choice.
Don't they understand that us mum's need eye candy? How can he ever replace the great eye candy that is David Tennant....very disappointing.

You could be right there Rachel I still reckon they should've picked a women for the role. Tried to watch a recent version this morning but couldn't really get into it, oh well, as long as they keep showing the early versions with the wobbly sets and the Daleks I shall be happy (and the lovely old cars )

E -X -T - E- R - M - I - N - A - T - E

I just hope that now that Russel T is stepping away from the show the standard is going to be as good, I wasn't impressed with the Christmas special at all.

mark gatis and stephen moffat already wrote a few episodes of the last series, so if you liked them, you should be ok

It was just the Christmas episode I didn't like, so hopefully normal service will continue!

Steven Moffat previously did empty child/doctor dances/girl in the fireplace/blink

I reckon we should be ok.

all the xmas specials have been pants. espesh the kylie one.
i think its the very nature of an 'xmas dr who' that makes them so.

it was a mate of mine who said " Christopher Eccleston ressurrected the Doctor, David Tennant made him into a legend, and Matt Smith destroyed it all without acting a single scene"

eccleston was way better than tennant!
