the beginning

Hello, I’m The Doctor. Basically… run.

+

R E A S O N S
because he is definitely a madman with a box
because he's worse than everybody's aunt
because he's still not ginger!
because he's the doctor. basically, run
because he enjoys fish fingers and custard
because bow ties are cool
because he's very old, very kind, and the last of his kind
because he can't stand to watch children cry
because he has a lot of thoughts, it's hard to keep track
because it's a jammy dodger but he was promised tea!
because he has space teeth
because museums are how he keeps score
because he's going to do what he always does, stay out of trouble...badly

the end.
'Silence Doctor. Silence will fall'

"… on the Fields of Trenzalore, at the fall of the Eleventh, when no
living creature can speak falsely or fail to answer, a question will be asked
— a question that must never ever be answered: Doctor Who?"

I mean it's Matt and his face , smile so it's perfect

I can understand that, it's a lot more pressure on the singular character of "The Doctor" and "The companion" than an ensemble cast where you're just a part of it.

I know I get it 100% I mean he loved it but it was him on his own with just one person a whole team is way better

Also Happy 40th Birthday Matt

He’s close to the age Daemon was in the book.

By the time they finish the show he’ll probably be his exact age.
