And the new Doctor Who is…

Matt Smith, a relatively unknown actor (even more so to American audiences), will be taking a tour of duty in the TARDIS as the eleventh Doctor. This is in addition to Steven Moffat taking over from Russell T Davies position as head writer and producer for the long running BBC Sci-Fi classic series.
