Doctor Who. It has entertained (and terrified) many a family since its debut in the late 1960′s, and its 2005 teams’ successors have continued that tradition exceptionally. 2005 saw the entrance and exit of Christopher Eccleston — here and gone with the Time Wind. He was replaced by actor David Tennant at the end of 2005 and he has since played the Doctor’s role with enthusiasm.
But now David has announced his departure from the popular show to pursue his acting career with the Royal Shakespeare Company. The BBC have announced his replacement to be Matt Smith — little-known footballer, well-known actor!
And so 2010 will see the era of a brand-new Doctor, brand-new companion, brand-new Tardis! Oh, and also a brand-new logo! Check it out:
Featuring a black background and 'DW' arranged in the likeness of the Tardis.
And so it seems by this style that the Doctor Who team are going back to the good old days of minimalism. Not that it’s a bad thing, but the costume choice and image presented by Karen Gillan leaves something to be desired. She leaves the distinct impression of Rose Tyler, companion to the 10th Doctor through New Who’s season 1 and 2. And to be honest, Matt Smith looked much better in his promo photos with a dark suit. Not tweed.
