Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Dear BBC,

I love you, I do. Really. I consider my licence fee good value for money and don't begrudge paying it. But you have just made the biggest howler of your broadcasting existence.

Matt Smith as the new Dr Who?

He's 26.

Young, pretty, probably perfect teeth. Aiming at the US market much? He looks like an actor who failed an audition for Twilight, for pities sakes!

No. Just no. ANYONE ELSE would have been better. And why NOT Patterson Joseph? Seriously? A black Doctor would have killed you?

You stupid people. This was the most important casting choice you've had to make since Eccleston left. You got that right, but you've fouled this up beyond all belief. You will now have to watch your choice weather six months of blistering hate and wank before he even shoots one foot of film, which is grossly unfair to him and the show. You think the franchise will survive this? Newsflash - it probably won't.

You are all fucking idiots. And I can't even blame RTD for this, this was Moffat's choice.

No love whatsoever,

Me.

PS: If anyone wants me, I'll be over here, in my bunker...the wank is going to be epic.

PPS: No offence to Matt Smith, he seems a nice guy. I hope he does well. But I may not be watching.
