Re: New Costume
I'll probably survive the costume..
Smith and Gillian really looks like a couple.. I wonder if she's going to be more like Rose, Martha or Donna...

Re: New Costume
This probably isn't what they are going for, but from my limited view of the series (I haven't seen any of the original episodes, i.e. nothing prior to 2005) it seems like they go for a Doctor that is with each regeneration physically younger but mentally older.
Eccleston (born 1964, age 41 when playing the Doctor) was running around in slacks and a leather jacket, Tennant (born 1971, age 35-38 when playing the Doctor) runs around in a suit - admittedly not one you would take to the theater, but a suit nonetheless - and finally Smith (born 1982, age 28-? when playing the Doctor) seems to be wearing something a 60-year-old university professor would put on.
Coincidence?

I don't think I like what they did with the windows and is it just me or does it look a tad bit newer?.....

Re: New Costume
I'm an old git and I've been a fan of Doctor Who since the Tom Baker era. I've never been a huge fan of the 2005 plus series, but this new bloke is just... wrong. Why on Earth are they insisting on making him look "cool"? The Doctor is NOT supposed to wear shoes from Prada! He isn't supposed to be setting clothes trends for next year. It's just all doing my head in and I think the longer it's going on the more of the spirit of Doctor Who is being lost.

Uhm, do you really think somebody's going to be wearing what he has on (aka the dress code of a 60+ year old university professor) because it's "cool" or "in"? Doctor Who never set fashion trends - maybe you get a few people dressing up like the Doctor, but that automatically outs them as geeks/nerds, not as fashion-relevant people. Eccleston looked the most normal, Tennant had a strange combination of clothes on which would garner you more than a fair share of attention on the street, and Smith has a terrible, awkward costume on that is everything but cool or trendy.
No, Smith's Doctor is as far away from setting clothing trends as you can possibly be. Unless you of course talk about nerd fests like Comic Con - then of course he is setting the trends, together with Klingons, Storm Troopers and Browncoats ...

Re: New Costume
There's no doubt they are going very very classic with the new Doctor Who. We'll see. In Moffat I trust.
I was worried about how he'll fare as a show runner, but the consistent greatness of both Coupling and Jekyll alleviated these fears. However, let's not forget that even as a show runner he won't be the only writer, and while he will guide each and every story, the people who were responsible for the less-than-stellar episodes of seasons past are still there ... So I am not expecting every new episode now to be Blink I do think the quality will stay the same, hopefully even a bit higher.

Re: New Costume
I for one think the next doctor who series will be as spectacular as usual. Give it a chance to actually air before you decide it's bad just because it is different. If the show has shown anything, it has shown it can change and still be great. 
Re: New Costume
This is a good show but I don't have any idea about new doctor in Doctor Who TV Show. I have watch its many episodes but Right now I have no option for watch it.

Re: New Costume
I'll be very sad to see Mr. Tennant go. I'm a bit uneasy about young master Smith taking over, but I suppose Moffat will deliver a good show as he has been responsible for the best episodes so far and I did feel uneasy with Tennant at first, too. But I soon got over that silly doubt.
It's just.. They did go very young with the 11th Doctor, didn't they.. I'm getting a bad Twilight-wibe..

It's been bothering me how many people are automatically scared by a young actor playing the Doctor, so I did some research. I had a theory that maybe the actors were getting younger all the way through the regenerations as a "reverse aging" process aimed at the final, 13th regeneration. But alas, it wasn't so. (Well, there is a trend, very definitely in the new 2005 version of Doctor Who, and with a few statistical anomalies one could make the argument, but I won't )
William Hartnell (The First Doctor) from 23 November 1963 to 29 October 1966, born 1908, aged 55 when first played the Doctor,
Patrick Troughton (The Second Doctor) from 29 October 1966 to 21 June 1969, born 1920, aged 46,
Jon Pertwee (The Third Doctor) from 3 January 1970 to 8 June 1974, born 1919, aged 51,
Tom Baker (The Fourth Doctor) from 8 June 1974 to 21 March 1981, born 1934, aged 40,
Peter Davison (The Fifth Doctor) from 21 March 1981 to 16 March 1984, born 1951, aged 30,
Colin Baker (The Sixth Doctor) from 16 March 1984 to 6 December 1986, born 1943, aged 41,
Sylvester McCoy (The Seventh Doctor) from 7 September 1987 to 6 December 1989, born 1943, aged 44,
Paul McGann (The Eighth Doctor) on 27 May 1996 in the Doctor Who television movie, born 1959, aged 37,
Christopher Eccleston (The Ninth Doctor) from 26 March to 18 June 2005, born 1964, aged 39,
David Tennant (The Tenth Doctor) from 18 June 2005 to early 2010, born 1971, aged 34,
Matt Smith (The Eleventh Doctor) from 2010 to ?, born 1982, aged 28.
So Smith is the youngest Doctor, but he is only two years younger than Peter Davison was when he became the Doctor in 1981. Tennant was the second youngest Doctor when he started in 2005 and now will be the third youngest. There was a five year difference between Eccleston and Tennant and there is only a six year difference between Tennant's age when he started and Smith's age. Plus the overall trend is generally for the Doctor to become younger with each regeneration ...
