I did my round of the British tabloids on-line and came across this breaking news from two days ago...

So he's the new Doctor Who; the title character. The excitement is too much for some to handle. As a joke the BBC should fabricate a fictitious actor and release 'him' to the media. That would be pretty funny: The geeks could post comments on their favourite message boards (the ones they spend their entire days on) to the effect, "Best Doctor Who... ever!"

Gotta love the fans who say "So-and-so would have been better" without having seen a single frame of film with Smith as the Doctor. I would have cast an older actor (my three choices would have been, in order: Stephen Fry, Robert Carlyle, or David Warner)... but, hey, guess what, Internetians: I'm not in charge.
Russell T. Davies is on his way out, replaced by (IMHO) a far superior writer, Stephen Moffatt, the man who wrote some of the series' less ambitious visual effects-wise but FAR more ambitious story-wise episodes. So perhaps the new DW will be more character- and less cataclysm-driven.
I can die happy never seeing another Cyber-King or skyfull of Daleks.
Long live the Doctor!
Bill Nighy! (My guess is he would not sign to a series as he is a busy guy... "Valkyrie" is recent/current example.)
The more I think about it, Nighy would be perfect in the role as the Doctor.
