Matt Smith Announces His Doctor Who Departure Will Be At Christmas [View all]

Matt Smith is departing the iconic role; his replacement is yet to be announced

The BBC is today announcing that Matt Smith is to leave Doctor Who after four incredible years on the hit BBC One show.

Matt first stepped into the TARDIS in 2010 and will leave the role at the end of this year after starring in the unmissable 50th Anniversary in November and regenerating in the Christmas Special.

During his time as the Doctor, Matt has reached over 30 million unique UK viewers and his incarnation has seen the show go truly global. He was also the first actor to be nominated for a BAFTA in the role.

Matt quickly won over fans to be voted Best Actor by Readers of Doctor Who Magazine for the 2010 season. He also received a nod for his first series at the National Television Awards, before winning the Most Popular Male Drama Performance award in 2012.

Not a bad Doctor but not as good as Tennant

The real question is... Who will the new Doctor be? Who would you like it to be?

Me... I'm thinking I'd like to see Idris Elba take over the TARDIS. It will never happen but I think he would be an awesome Doctor
