Hello. Long-time lurker, life-long fan here! Just wondering, and I know it's pure speculation at present, how much longer people think Matt will/should (not necessarily the same thing obviously!) remain as Doctor 11?
Personally, as I think he's been wonderful, I would love him to stay for series 8 and do four full series. I mean, if it was announced he'd signed for a couple more years all the better.
That's what me heart says. My brain suspects we'll have a new Doctor in 2014.
Of course that'll be exciting too, it's the beauty of this show, but I don't think he's even close to outstaying his welcome yet...

if i had my way he would be around for a couple more years but i have a feeling at the end of series 8 he'll regenerate..
Would like him to stay for Series 8 (and beyond) but think it's quite likely he will go in the Christmas Special.
Maybe they could shake things up a bit and have him regenerate mid series 8.
Then again if Series 8 is a split series we'll get the whole "It's two separate series" thing again if each half has a different Doctor.
When I first heard of the casting and the end of time ending how we were in for a treat in his first interview I was excited.
Now its 2013 and im fed up with him I will be happy when he goes as I feel either he was badly casted because in this day and age they wont give us a older doctor its always got to be about pleasing young girls or just bad writing.
Anyway, nice though it's been to have him, I personally feel that he will leave at Christmas.
I don't know anyone who knows anyone who knows someone who knows Matt, btw - it's just my own personal feeling.
And, if I'm honest, I'd like Moffat to go too, so we get a complete change of direction. Again, not many will agree.
But, if they both stay, I'll be happy with that.
My inkling is that he will stay on for series 8, then call it a day, but who knows?
I agree somewhat his enthusiasm seems a little lacking in 7B for me, whatever the reason for that is, we don't know. He's still great, but not as good as he was in 7A, S5 or S6 for me.
Regardless though, I think leaving at the end of next year is his most realistic option and one that would be best for the show itself. If a new Doctor/Showrunner comes in in 2015, it'll have been five (ish) years for Matt and the Moff, which is great in my books.
All of this aside, he is my favourite Doctor, so I don't want him to leave just yet
i feel he will leave at the end of the anniversery
Also, I'd like to see more of 11 and Clara together, Clara hasn't really been given much to do this series so I'd like to see more of her. JLC has great chemistry with Smith so I'd think another series with them and then maybe Clara can stay on with 12.
Same....i mean there is also the possibility Moff will stay on for series 8 and afer that a change in showrunner but Matt may still stay on?? who does indeed know...but i love that Matt is still branching out into other roles alongside him being the Doctor too! But I do still feel he loves the role...but the storylines have just had a different vibe from the Pond era by a landslide really its been a massive change up to adapt too...there is an element of dread in the air still...he plays it expertly well!
Sources say it's Christmas
It's pretty obvious he's leaving given the regeneration set is coming out.
ooh i dont know, im not a fan
Tennant: 4.5 years; three series and 47 episodes
Smith: 3.11 years (up until December); three series and 44 episodes (including the Christmas special)
- I think his time is coming to it's natural end, and a Christmas regeneration is actually quite believable.
I can't believe how fast Matt's time has gone compared to David's though. I think it must be because now I'm older (I was 12 when David started and 16 when he left) and less mega enthusiastic about Who, although it's still my absolute favourite programme, the days between episodes no longer feels like weeks. The last 3.4 years have flown by!
And though this song is ending, the story never ends...
I thought he showed promise at first, but I am getting bored with his mumbling that suddenly turns into an arm flailing frenzy.
But on the other hand I wouldn't be too annoyed if he stayed for another series either. But just the one mind. Anymore and we're heading 5 years+ and that's just too long.
I would like him to stay at least for another series if not a few more.
