The Eleventh Doctor Has Been Announced

First of all, the Eleventh Doctor has been announced. And he is...Matt Smith. I’ve never heard of him, and my first thought when I saw his picture was that the Doctor would be sad he wasn’t ginger. Has anyone on my friends list ever seen him in anything? Is he a good pick?

Mom doesn’t like his chin, and thinks he should have bigger hair like Tennant. Here’s his Wikipedia entry. *reads age* I’m older than him.

Now, for some other fannish items of interest--this first one is simply weird.

Bollywood is going to remake Back to the Future. Marty will no longer be a teen—no word on who will be Doc.

David Tennant has made so much progress in his recovery following his back surgery, that he has now been slated to return to rehearsals for Hamlet. Good to hear his recovery has gone so well.

ETA: Also, I won't be cutting this entry for the Doctor news. It's not actually a spoiler, as we all knew the Eleventh Doctor was going to be cast sometime. A lot of people (and groups) on my friends list didn't cut the news, unless it was a long response to the topic.

ETA 2: For those interested, you can watch a 5 minute interview with Matt Smith here. It’s taken from the Confidential where it was announced.
