Doctor Who Jr

26-year-old Matt Smith has been named the new Doctor Who. He’ll be taking over from David Tennant in Spring 2010. Comments on Twitter went from ‘OMG he looks 12’, to ‘The new doctor is emo!’ and ‘Breaking news: Doctor Who moves to CBBC.’

I really like my Who to be someone to 1. look up to and (alright, shallow) 2. fanciable. 3. Preferably 40+. I thought David Tennant was too young to float my boat, but he proved me wrong and kind of is my favourite Doctor now. But a 26-year-old? Can’t really look up to him. As for the second point? Well, I’ve always been into older guys. Also.. he’s not much of a looker, is he? Well, not my type anyway.

Mr Hg thinks it’s a brave choice. Hmm. I think it’s a cynical BBC plot to haul in the teeny boppers emo kids.

OK Matt, prove this agist wrong.
