Is Matt Smith going to be replaced as the Doctor?

June 30, 2010

Rumblings in the television world are hinting that the BBC are not completely happy with the performance of the latest series of cult science fiction series Dr. Who and could be looking to replace Matt Smith with a bigger named actor. Viewing figures for the latest series of Who averaged around 5 million views and the series epic finale “The Big Bang” pulled in a total of 5.09 million viewer down by 5 million on that of the rebooted shows 10.81 million opening “Rose” episode. However it may not be completely bad news for the shows current chief Steven Moffat as he was up against a World Cup match on ITV and the way that viewers watch TV has changed dramatically over the last few years. Many viewers no longer watch the program “live” so extra viewers come in from the likes of BBC iplayer and PVR devices such as Sky+.

When newcomer Matt Smith was cast as the Doctor there was quite a lot of speculation that he would only last the series but despite the lower overnight viewing figures he seems to have been accepted by the Who faithful and internet chatter about him not being as good as David Tennant have subsided. Bookmakers William Hill are placing Matt Smith on odds of 1/8 for Smith to play the Doctor for a second series and 9/2 to be ousted from the role.

Next Doctor Who odds

Odds are supplied by William Hill, the list has the all the usual suspects we would discount Robert Carlyle as he is currently in his own Stargate Universe television show, we doubt a female would be cast and at 12/1 James Nesbitt could be a good place to look.

  • 4/1 – David Morrissey
  • 5/1 – Chiwetel Ejiofor
  • 8/1 – Next Doctor To Be Female
  • 10/1 – Patterson Joseph
  • 12/1 – James Nesbitt
