The New Who

Right now, I'm watching a show on channel 2 (or as Generation Z will end up calling it, "ABC1") where the new Doctor Who, Matt Smith, is a heavily-featured supporting player.

So what's he like then?

Well, he has a strangely shaped head, with disproportionate features (big nose, big chin, big lips, big jaw, etc). And he needs to cut. His fucking. Hair.

In short, visually, he's the British James Van Der Beek.

But ... he blends an unassuming charm with an understated sense of authority and knowledge. He comes across as someone you can sympathise with very easily. In fact, I kind of like him.

Will that make him a good Doctor? Well, who can say?

... did you see what I did there?
