The Eleventh Doctor is the name given to the eleventh incarnation of the Time Lord known as the Doctor.
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. 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 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.
- As of January 2009 it has not yet been confirmed whether Smith will appear as the new Doctor in any of the upcoming specials, though it is generally assumed he will film a regeneration sequence. While not definitively confirmed, a BBC article on the production team at the Celtic Media Festival seems to indicate that the sequence will 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]
