This has been the case with every Doctor and Companion for every year the series has been on the air, whether it was David Tennant, Matt Smith, or Peter Capaldi That's why Davies is still optimistic that Gatwa will return for a third season, and Gatwa cannot say whether he's in the third season yet[...]

One person who is not a fan of the practice is series star Matt Smith (Doctor Who, Sacred Acre), who believes that "everything's being dialled and dumbed down" to the point where it's impacting the storytelling process.

Over the last nearly 20 years, there has been so much Christian imagery in Doctor Who that the series could be seen as a parable about God.

They learned the fight, and they executed the hell out of it." Image: HBO Another event that plays out is the fight between Rhaenyra and Daemon (Matt Smith) over what transpired with Jaeharys' murder, the delicate nature of public opinion, and Daemon's motivations, resulting in him storming out "I think the end of Season 1 [the fight][...]

Wilson) and Cheese (Mark Stobbart) were paid off by Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) to kill Prince Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) as revenge for killing Prince Lucerys Velaryon (Elliot Grihault) in the season one finale When the two didn't find their target, the two instead kill the young Jaeharys, decapitating him off-screen at the end[...]

Matt Smith is probably one of the most beloved Doctors with his run as Doctor Who But it goes far beyond that, given the way he's endeared himself to the fan community, and that's extended to those who follow his current franchise in the Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon Recently, Smith offered[...]

For this go-around, Matt Smith was a guest on the morning talk show/news program CBS Mornings to discuss the tough journey ahead for Prince Daemon Targaryen (Smith) as well as some other important storylines for viewers to keep an eye on But it wasn't all talk, with a sneak preview running near the top of[...]

The production had a larger standing set for the TARDIS, so the interior got bigger; the Ninth and Tenth Doctors (Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant) got a semi-organic coral design that was otherwise no-nonsense and practical. Then it changed into a cozier, almost homey design for the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) and a darker, more steampunk design for[...]

Joining BBC's The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show for "Friends Round Friday," Matt Smith (Doctor Who) was asked by host Zoe Ball (with Davina McCall and Frank Skinner) when we can expect Season 2 to kick off "August, I think I think summer, this summer, yeah," Smith responded The actor also shared that although filming wrapped last[...]

Steven Moffat showed that in the climax of "Time of the Doctor" when the dying Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) had a new regeneration trigger as the Daleks homed in for the final kill and took them all out when he aimed the energy using his body as a gun.

BBC America, which co-financed the series from Series Five (Matt Smith and Steven Moffat's first season) to Series Thirteen (Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall's final season), would live-broadcast the show on the same day but in the evening in the US, hours after the UK premiere before going to streaming Disney+ co-financing and licensing the[...]

The second seems to be the Eleventh Doctor's (Matt Smith) sonic screwdriver, which is bigger, clunkier, and flashier Both sonics can extend – very phallic and Freudian move. "Doctor Who": BBC The Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, and Thirteenth Doctors' sonic screwdrivers have been discontinued, which happens whenever a new Doctor comes along in the series, but fans still want[...]

It was Matt Smith's first season as the Eleventh Doctor It was Karen Gillan's first season as a companion and both her and Smith's first starring roles leading a TV series It launched their careers, made them household names in the U.K., and helped them get to where they are now This was also one[...]

For this go-around, Peter Capaldi had some kind words to share about how David Tennant (Tenth Doctor) & Matt Smith (Eleventh Doctor) made themselves available to him as he began his run as the Twelfth Doctor In addition, Capaldi shares the great first impressions he got after meeting Gatwa and the high hopes he has[...]

if the BBC can repeat themselves, so can we. BBC Capaldi's age as the Twelfth Doctor might have turned off many teenage and older female viewers, especially in the US, who were used to having a younger lead like David Tennant and Matt Smith as their fantasy boyfriends Moffat also tried to create a more "classic" Doctor[...]

That's Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi, Jodie Whittaker – and back to Tennent again You might think this was just another showy set of clips of the show's biggest gimmick, but they reveal something much deeper about the show, something spiritual and beautiful that makes it all worthwhile. Image: BBC Screencaps Regeneration was a[...]

it's also Moffat's best and most thematically consistent season. "Doctor Who Series 9" key art, BBC Unlike Doctor Who Series 6, Moffat's second season as showrunner, and Matt Smith's second season as The Doctor, Series 9 feels more confident and less frantic in trying to show off crazy ideas with wild abandon It's also less overstuffed and[...]

This was Steven Moffat's second season as showrunner, with Matt Smith, Karen Gillen & Arthur Darvill as the Eleventh Doctor and companions You could say it was in this season that the show's flaws first started manifesting, the seams starting to show. "Doctor Who Series Six" key art, BBC Series 6 was also the start of Doctor Who's[...]

For this go-around, Gatwa addresses the double pressure that comes from being the first Black man to take on the role, how Vaies and previous Doctors have been a help with the process, and how he drunkenly spiled his casting to Matt Smith. Image: BBC Aside from just how long the series has run when you combine[...]

The Eleventh Doctor  (Matt Smith) loses Amy (Karen Gillen) and Rory (Arthur Darville) to literally the past, never to see them again, with Amy leaving a note imploring him not to forget her.  The Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi) making his saddest, most impassioned speech about war shows he's become the living memorial for all the[...]

The shift from the Tenth Doctor's theme to a more playful, jaunty sound to introduce the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) is seamless Akinola created a spy movie pastiche for "Spyfall" where the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) infiltrates an evil tech billionaire's (Sir Lenny Henry) casino party Gold once again created a classical choral score for "The[...]

Doctor Who stories set in the future tend to be about class conflict, the evils of capitalism & fascism - part of British Sci-Fi tradition.

That was the most poignant and unique moment of the Chris Chibnall era that should have been built upon to become a defining moment instead of forgotten later, potential introduced, then wasted. "Doctor Who" still, BBC Then there's the moment The Doctor (Matt Smith) got to meet his one true love, the TARDIS, in the form of[...]

All of Moffat's worst instincts and excesses are in this season, and it was only held together by Matt Smith's mix of zaniness and desperation as he juggles several timey wimey contrivances all the way to the season's end Moffat throws in all sorts of crazy high concepts throughout the season: the Silence, the Life[...]

The Tenth's (David Tennant) first big moment in action was a refinement of the character into a gleeful swashbuckler that helped establish Tennant as the most popular Doctor of the modern era. The Children's Friend We have the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) and his night with young Amelia Pond trying to find what he likes to eat[...]

They are the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) kissing Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman) for the first time, Missy (Michelle Gomez) kissing the Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi) for the first time, and River Song (Alex Kingston) kissing the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) for the first time. So the Tenth Doctor kissing Martha leaves traces of his DNA on[...]

Davies would kill Kylie Minogue for Christmas, all to make everyone sad. Steven Moffat's Many Christmas Carols Moffat's Christmas specials all drew on obvious literary and movie sources: the Eleventh Doctor's (Matt Smith) first special was even directly called "A Christmas Carol," where the Doctor had to turn the heart of a Science Fiction version of Scrooge[...]
