Looking at the new series I feel that Tennant fell on the serious side of the line despite many of the scripts being inhearintly funny and that Eccleston played up the comedy more than Tennant did. So will this pattern continue into the Smith era?

Run back to the forums if you're scared.
I noticed that many of the script writers for Series 5 are known for writing comedies. Will Matt Smith play The Doctor in a comedic manner?

There has always been comedy and jokes in Doctor Who but in the classic series there was a definite Serious/Comedic alternation to how the actors prtrayed The Doctor in relation to the audience. It is widely regarded that Hartnell, Pertwee and Davison all did the roll seriously while Troughton, Tom Baker and McCoy all played up the comedy. I don't know what the opinion of Colin Baker's Doctor is in relation to this idea and there was only the one McGann movie.

Looking at the new series I feel that Tennant fell on the serious side of the line despite many of the scripts being inhearintly funny and that Eccleston played up the comedy more than Tennant did. So will this pattern continue into the Smith era?
