doctorwho: BBC News: Matt Smith exit prompts Doctor Who speculation The news that Matt Smith is to leave his role in Doctor Who at the end of 2013 has already prompted speculation on the identity of his replacement. A host of names have been suggested in Sunday’s papers, among them Idris Elba, Dame Helen Mirren and John Hurt. Also included in their list: David Harewood, Rupert Grint, Russell Tovey, Ben Whishaw, Billie Piper, Colin Morgan, and Tom Hiddleston We have to say that the speculation so far on the twelfth doctor Tumblr tag has been smarter and well considered and a lot more entertaining than what we’re reading in the press. So keep it going. In case you missed Saturday’s news, The BBC has announced that Matt Smith is to leave Doctor Who after four years on the show.
