Dull look for new Doctor Who

I'm not quite sure what I expected Matt Smith's incarnation of the Doctor to look like, but I certainly expected something a bit quirkier and edgier than this.

I can't really see the Grand Moff making the Doctor in any way boring, but I am not enamoured with the colour scheme or the general approach of making a good looking young man look like an aging professor. It doesn't give him gravitas - it just looks odd. And that hairstyle is just wrong.

However, I'm sure the scripts will be marvellous and it'll all be fine - and if necessary, Karen Gillan can find something a bit funkier in the back of the Tardis for him to wear.

    I couldn't be happier, but then, I lived through the 80s. Not a single question mark or clown suit in sight. Sorted.

    I'm quite impressed really.

Thanks for your comment. As long as it doesn't libel anyone, and isn't abusive, I'll publish it. I try to respond to as many as I can, but please forgive me if I don't. Sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day. I read and appreciate every one, even those specifically aimed at winding me up.
