MATT Smith who has played Dr Who on the popular BBC TV show since 2010, is set to make way for a new Time Lord in this year's Christmas special of the 50-year-old show.
The 30-year-old actor will stand down from the title role in this year's festive spectacular when audiences will be introduced to a new doctor, the BBC has revealed.

Doctor Who marks its 50th anniversary in November with a special episode, which Smith has already filmed.
The BBC said Smith's "spectacular exit" was yet to be revealed and would be "kept tightly under wraps".
The 11 Doctors
1. William Hartnell (1963-1966)
2. Patrick Troughton (1966-1969)
3. Jon Pertwee (1970-1974)
4. Tom Baker (1974-1981)
5. Peter Davison - pictured (1982-1984)
6. Colin Baker (1984-1986)
7. Sylvester McCoy (1987-1996)
8. Paul McGann (1996)
9. Christopher Eccleston (2005)
10. David Tennant (2005-2010)
11. Matt Smith (2010 - 2013)

Speculation starts now...
Will it be Roger Moore? Will the next Doctor be female?
Who would you like to see as the next Doctor Who?
She lives in the clouds and talks to the birds...
Happiest faerie of VGF.

Since the whole "Regeneration could be either gender" you would think a 50/50 chance would mean female at some point.
Also Eccleston and Baker 4lyfe

I would say Craig Ferguson, but his Late Late Show contract just got extended, so nope.
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Right. As for the whole Ginger thing. In Gallifrey, the only ones to have red hair, where the people called Heroes. These people were Time-sentient (meaning they could see all of time at the same time). I doubt they'll ever make him ginger.
Also, while we're talking about Regeneration. River wasn't the only person who can control the way they look like when they regenerate. Romana (no, I shalln't post her full name.) also controlled the way she looked.
Since The Doctor can't control his hair, he can't also became a female timelord. (Now just watch as they announce a new female doctor.)
I for one, would not like to know who the next Doctor is. I wouldn't like someone overly famous. Nearly all the best Doctor's were unknowns, or little known actors.
Peace and Love X

Off topic a bit, but my wife and I watched the 8th doctor movie just recently. What's all this about being half-human?

It's a wonder that they didn't retcon that whole movie (like they retcon a bunch of stuff in the Who extended universe), but it's considered canon now that the Eighth Doctor just lies about himself.
