It's taken me time but he has genuinely grown on me. Just been catching a couple of episodes of Dr Who on the iplayer. The Van Gogh episode was quite splendid and very emotional. I believe the writers have done wonders with the show...Dr Who has been re-invented for the 21st century, sometimes perhaps a little overly sentimental (the Van Gogh one just fell nicely short of being guilty of that)but always refreshing and unexpected. Smith and the red head make a good partnership, far better than Tennant and Piper.

Loving it!

Agree FC,took some time,but he now sits well.

First couple of episodes were patchy but I agree FC.

Matt Smith is a real star and as for AMY POND ! she is quite simply amazing and her front cover of the Radio Times this week is a delight.

Amy's Choice and Van G were two superb episodes - loved them both and both are destined to be classic Sci Fi viewing.

The writing is more intelligent and has more emotion this series. It is EMO WHO !!!!

Fantastic.

The Van Gogh episode is top five all time classic for me. Wonderful stuff, really well defined plot that was actually quite simple at it's heart.

And loved the fact that it started with him in last week's episode.

His face may be shaped like a cornflake, but he's a fine young actor, and perhaps the best Doctor since Baker.

Matt Smith is absolutely superb as the Doctor. 'The Lodger' was the best episode of the series.

The Pandorica. As a time travelling sci fi episode this rivalled "Back to the Future" and "The Butterfly Effect" for the amount of time travel taking place. Incredibly complex and rivetting viewing and a superb way to end the series.

How fantastic in the two parter that RORY came back and waited 2000 years for Amy - and then he managed to get married and Amy got her parents back in true kids "fairy tale" mode.

A thoroughly modern fairy tale ideal for children but with enough Sci Fi overtones for any adult like me who loves Quantum Theory.

Did anyone notice the PANDORICA TIMELINE ? yes the KNIGHTS TEMPLAR had it for a while from 1231 ! Every last detail by Moffat is in line with real conspiracy theory as well.

Matt Smith is amazing - totally amazing. The FEZ wearing was brilliant and he plays comedy in such a deadpan way rather than overacting it is even funnier.

Loved the series and may even buy it on DVD - which I have never done for a complete Dr Who series because they have been patchy. This series has been brilliant with only the first few episodes being a little stuttering.
