    Well we don’t know yet because we haven’t seen the episode, so there’s nothing to quibble about.

    Rory, in the same scene, was wearing his roman army outfit.

    @TWWL

    I know but i’m just a bit confused why she is wearing
    that outfit.

    I was just saying by that clip that smith is really
    getting into his own take

    I love Doctor who though (all of them)

    I did read in a blog that Tennat is missed because he was
    a great actor.

    But Smith is a much better Doctor

    I loved DT but I feel matt has made the part his own with
    a real mixture of madness but with still enough of the anger
    that the past two doctors had.

    I dislike all these comparing which Dr is better

    @Robert

    Sorry; but I don’t agree with you. I am a complete David Tennant fan. I agree that Matt Smith is an amazing Doctor; but I still think David Tennant was better

    @ScottieDoctor

    See all our opions are different.

    But please don’t hate me because I like Smith

    But i love all Eleven of him

    I loved the Tenth doctor but now we
    have Matt in the Tardis

    How Many Doctors have you watched?

    @Robert
    But Smith is a much better Doctor… I dislike all these comparing which Dr is better

    Leeeeetle bit of a contradiction there?

    And was anyone else just waiting for him to say “I am the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Future?”

    @TSG

    So do I.

    and I agree smith is brillant as the Doctor.

    But I’m afraid people will compare which was is
    best.

    I like i said i do love them all.

    they each brought something diffrent.

    I had a blog on this page saying Tennat was the best incaraion full stop.

    Tenth was a great emotional incaration-he really was the Timelord Victorias.He could strike evil down in one

    but smith is my kind of Doctor-he is warm. freindly and mad as a hatter. And i prefer the doctor like this

    (Being brought up on Troughton and Tom baker.)

    also i couldn’t see tennat coming down a chimney or wearing a fez.
