Radio TimesMatt Smith becomes the first Doctor to grace the cover of a gay magazine when he features on the front of this months Gay Times.

The magazine has unprecedented coverage of the new series, with exclusive content including the first ever interview with the latest addition to the cast, Arthur Darvill. They speak with the Doctor's assistant Karen Gillan, head writer Steven Moffat, executive producer Piers Wenger and a selection of other characters and creatives, both returning and new.

Writer Gareth Roberts reveals that Matt Smith is set to appear pretty much naked in episode eleven, while costume designer Ray Holman tells what kind of underwear the new Doctor prefers…

Matt Smith on his new role as the Doctor:
What's gorgeous about it is that I get to sort of confess to my imagination every day. So I get to play around in a mad, imaginary world every day, which is limitless and timeless, and endless and boundless. You know, that is as close as you get to sort of magic really, I suppose, in many ways.
On being described by executive producer Steven Moffat as "Patrick Moore in the body of an underwear model":
"The thing is, right, I'll take Patrick Moore, fine. But I definitely haven't got an underwear model's body, no way, not on this schedule. All my gym's gone out the window. God no, I take that as a gross over-compliment to be honest. And also! When the hell has Steven Moffat seen me in my pants alone?"

The Eleventh Hour @ 6.25pm?

Posted: 23 Mar 2010 08:43 PM PDT

Matt Smith as the Doctor in The Eleventh HourPopular website Den of Geek report that The Eleventh Hour is scheduled to air at 6.25pm on Saturday, 3rd April - although the BBC are yet to confirm the timeslot for the return of Doctor Who.

The BBC Press Office currently lists The Eleventh Hour as "Unplaced" - indicating that scheduling is yet to be confirmed. This can be for a myriad of reasons, from potential overlap with sporting events to foxing the competition on ITV.

Running to 60 minutes, The Eleventh Hour stars Matt Smith in his debut adventure as the Eleventh Doctor and Karen Gillan as Amy Pond. True to its title, the episode is also an hour long - possibly affecting the time slot. Usually, episodes are tailored to sit in a 45 minute slot, so hopefully subsequent episodes will be able to find a settled place in the schedules.

6.25pm of course is around the same timeslot many classic Doctor Who episodes aired, particularly during the Tom Baker era. Happy days…

(Incidentally, that particular link to Den of Geek features some new images from The Eleventh Hour.)
