I was introduced to Doctor Who in the mid-80s through public TV (unfortunately, unlike a friend of mine, I didn't get to grow up with the show, being American). I even introduced my kids to the original Doctor Who episodes (this was pre-2005, when the show was brought back) and they love both the original and the current series.

I wasn't sure about Matt Smith either when they first announced he was taking over (probably cause the kids and I absolutely loved Tennant's Doctor), but after seeing "The Eleventh Hour", I'm sold. He'll definitely add his own something to the role of the Doctor, like all the others in the past.

I've even kept up with the 2 "spin-offs" of the current show, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.
