The Daily Record

DOCTOR Who's Matt Smith said he can never shake being the Time Lord from his mind - a year before viewers see him in the role.
In an interview with Doctor Who Magazine, Smith compared taking on the mantle with becoming the new Sherlock Holmes or James Bond.
Last month Smith was named as the 11th Time Lord since the programme first aired in 1963.
He replaces David Tennant at the helm of the Tardis and is due to first appear on screens in the role in 2010.
Smith told the magazine: "This show is so alive, it really is.
"I can't ever quite forget that I'm the Doctor - which is weird, because it's still so far away.
"But it's always there in my subconscious, because it's the Doctor!
"It's like, there's Sherlock Holmes, James Bond and Doctor Who. It has resonance in our cultural fabric."
At just 26, Smith has become the youngest ever Doctor and, although previously relatively unknown, he has appeared in Alan Bennett's play The History Boys at the National Theatre in London and alongside Christian Slater in Swimming With Sharks in the West End.
Smith told how he would need to tone down his dress sense for the part.
Asked what he might wear as the Doctor, Smith said: "I'm a big fan of long coats and rather dashing scarves in everyday life, so who knows?
"For the audition, I rocked up in whatever, so I think they're having to tone down what I wear in real life for the Doctor!
"I am a rather elaborate dresser. That's what's lovely, there are all these exciting things - what's he going to wear, what's he going to do in his first scene with his companion, which monsters will he meet, will he meet the Daleks?"
On playing a 950-year-old Time Lord, Smith said he wanted to make the BBC show "part of my fibre".
He said incoming head writer Steven Moffat "has this show ingrained in his soul and searing through his blood".
He continued: "It's really borne into his whole fabric - and that's the job for me over the next few months, to make this show part of my fibre.
"I think Steven is going to be the main creative source for me and we're going to discover it together - who the Doctor is in Steven's mind and words, coupled with pockets of my personality, my history, my life, and the man and the human being that I am."
He said he planned to sit round a table with executive producer Piers Wenger and Moffat, read the scripts together and talk about the part.
Smith said: "We'll talk about my intentions, their intentions, how we feel it can fly, and sing, and be as brilliant and as Doctor-y and as excellent as it can be."

Matt goes house hunting and Benton at 20th aniversary

The Sun has an article called Doctor hunts for new Tardis, Matt Smith goes house hunting in London with sister Laura Jayne.

New Doctor Who Matt Smith seemed to be ditching the Tardis for another abode when he went house hunting with his sister.

The 26-year-old talked to estate agents with Laura Jayne, who danced on Eric Prydz’s racy Call On Me video, in London yesterday.

In January he was announced as the eleventh Time Lord, replacing David Tennant.

Smith makes first TV appearance since Dr Who announcement

Before entering the Tardis as the eleventh Doctor Who, Matt Smith is set to try his hand at some detective work, starring alongside Casanova's Shaun Parkes in the new BBC drama Moses Jones.
Matt Smith plays hopeful detective DS Dan Twentyman in the drama, in which he and his senior partner DI Moses Jones (Shaun Parkes) investigate violent crimes across London.
"Moses Jones is a vibrant and atmospheric thriller set in the heart of London, which will capture the imagination of the BBC Two drama audience," explains BBC head of series and serials Kate Harwood.
The first episode, to be aired this Monday, sees the detectives investigating the murder of a man found mutilated and washed up on the banks of the Thames.
This appearance will mark Matt's first TV role following the revelation of his appointment as the next Doctor Who. The 26-year-old will replace David Tennant and take on the role of the eleventh Doctor in time for the fifth series since the series' reboot next year.

Planet of the Dead New Transmission Time

With the BBC now leading us to believe that Planet of the Dead is not necessarily being transmitted over the Easter weekend, plus there are further delays because of the damaged Dubai bus, when will we see Planet of the Dead transmitted?[If you must copy my posts]
The next suitable dates I believe have a chance are;[remember to quote my site as the origin]
Saturday 2nd May (Mayday Bank Holiday Weekend)
Saturday 23rd May (Spring Bank Holiday Weekend)[this means you radio doctor who!]
Unless they are just going to show it on a random Saturday, but I can't see that happening!
