Doctor Who’s obsessive fans have much to discuss this morning, thanks to the surprise news that the eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith, will be leaving the show after the year-end Christmas special. Smith, who at 27 years old was the youngest actor to play the Time Lord, said of his departure, “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.†He’s currently in production on How To Catch A Monster, Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut. Meanwhile, showrunner Steven Moffat hasn’t said anything about who might replace Smith, but that’s never stopped the Internet from speculating.
