The newly regenerated Doctor and Amy
At present, very little is known about him other than that his first confirmed companion is a young female named Amy Pond [1] and that he dresses in a tweed jacket, bow tie, rolled up trousers and black boots, and that this incarnation appears to have a more youthful physical appearance than most of his predecessors, save perhaps the fifth or the tenth incarnation. The Doctor's TARDIS appears to have also undergone some cosmetic changes coinciding with his emergence, the full extent of which are as yet unknown (though it is known that the First Doctor's St Johns ambulance badge will be restored to the TARDIS).
Behind the Scenes
- After months of speculation, David Tennant, the actor cast as the Tenth Doctor in 2005, announced in October 2008 that he would be leaving the role as of the final gap year special scheduled for broadcast in early 2010. This precipated several months of intense media speculation as to the identity of the actor to be chosen to play the Eleventh Doctor. English actor Matt Smith who, at 26, will become the youngest actor to date to play the Doctor (succeeding previous record-holder Peter Davison), was officially confirmed by the BBC as the new Doctor on 3rd January 2009. Mofatt had attempted hard to find an older actor to play the role, but he felt that Smith was the right man [1].
- As of August 2009 it has not yet been confirmed whether Smith will appear as the new Doctor in any of the remaining David Tennant specials, though it is generally assumed he will take part in a regeneration sequence for the final special (The End of Time), although there is precedent for a regeneration to occur at the start of an episode (Time and the Rani) or even partway though (1996 TV movie). While not definitively confirmed, a BBC article on the production team at the Celtic Media Festival seems to indicate the sequence will indeed be included in the final Tennant special.
- His first companion (named Amy Pond) will be played by Karen Gillan, who portrayed the Soothsayer in The Fires of Pompeii. [2]
