McGann is the Doctor.
January 27th, 2012 - 3:14pmGreat 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. 😉

January 26th, 2012 - 6:47pmIt 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.
