Matt Smith Leaves "Doctor Who"

Posted by timothy on from the later-you-won't-know-you-don't-remember-this dept.

First time accepted submitter Dave Knott writes "The BBC has announced that Matt Smith will be leaving 'Doctor Who', after spending the last four seasons in the titular role of The Doctor. Smith will remain for the upcoming 50th anniversary special, where he will star alongside a majority of the other actors who have taken on the character, and will exit following the yearly Christmas episode. No actor has yet been cast as the twelfth incarnation of The Doctor, although there was a teaser involving John Hurt at the end of the most recent season of the show."

    I'm guessing you've never actually watched Doctor Who before.

    No, they totally didn't announce him as the new doctor!

    You got to get the "non-schizotypic ignorance of the decade" award! ;)
