One to Watch

Posted: 29 Dec 2009 11:04 PM PST

LogoThe new Radio Times marks Matt Smith out as one of the ten people to watch in 2010. In the magazine, new executive producer Steven Moffat tells why viewers will be transfixed by Smith's portrayal of The Doctor. He describes him as a strong quiet man who carries off the gravitas thing perfectly. "His most powerful moments are when he is very very quiet. in a way that a very powerful person can be...It's all implied strength rather than demonstrated bluster"

Moffat describes Smith as very much the 'nutty professor' Doctor whom the camera adores. "You'll be seeing a lot of that face, suffering, in close-up."

Smith's first series as the Doctor is due to be aired in the UK in the spring.
