    Great to hear this news.
    Matt (Mathew) Smith has been acting with terrific passion and with excellent results in the latest series, and this award atleast proves that.

    Even if he didn’t get the award, I still think he was great. 😉

      It was a misquote, it’s happened several times now on this very subject. After he films this series he is going to Hollywood to do some work before coming back to do the 50th anniversary series.

    I guess it’s better than winning nothing at least it shows the public still has interest in Doctor Who. I heard its Matts last Season .
