"Doctor Who Magazine" has just held back from the inevitable "Matt Smith IS The Doctor" strapline for his first cover appearance in issue 405, which hit the streets this week. I expect their now traditional sentence will be used when he first appears in costume/character, which I expect will be August.
Matt gives his first post-announcement magazine interview inside, which has been widely quoted in the media.
It also breaks the news that, as from the first of the 2009 specials ("Planet of the Dead" due at Easter) "Doctor Who" will be made and broadcast in HD. "Torchwood" has been in HD since it arrived back in 2006, but the parent programme has shied away until now for budgetary reasons i.e the TARDIS interior set will probably have to be rebuilt.
Another DWM revelation is that K9 is 'properly' returning to "The Sarah Jane Adventures" for six episodes in the forthcoming third series.
PS - For those still wanting to size up Matt Smith's acting talents he is currently one of the leads in "Moses Jones" on BBC Two at 9pm on Monday nights. Additionally, for those with access to BBC Four, "Party Animals" (which is excellent anyway) is being repeated from next Thursday night. I'd definitely recommend you watch that if you didn't catch it first time, though it's also out on DVD.
