It took me a while to like Smith's Doctor. Now, he's my favourite alongside Tom Baker.
I think that Matt Smith added more to dr who.

However as time went on I became the only member of my family to watch Doctor Who while we watched the classic serial as a family. However I have to say that I have always enjoyed TV - in fact I used to watch as much as my parents would let me - which was not a lot back then! I am still catching up on TV shows I wanted to see years ago....if they still exist. I hope that answers you question - thank you for asking.”

Ah Ian thank you I didn't realise when I'd answered above you had answered me the same time ,it sounds fascinating listening to a completely new si fi series starting on BBC,
In the 70s Blakes 7 was the new Si fi series -it was so popular I loved it,we were the geeks at school who met in the library to discuss Blakes 7 -I just could imagine the same happening with Doctor Who in the 60s I guess
In all fairness Matt Smith was the only doctor I yelled at whilst watching it for being so useless. Does that count?
