What is Doctor Who? Essentially it is pure fairytale to some and to others it is pure drama and excitement. His adventures mainly consist of helping those in trouble. The beauty of Doctor Who is that stories can take place on distant planets or in key points in time. The character of the Doctor can also be played by several different actors thanks to his handy alien physiology. The latest actorto play the eccentric Doctor is Matt Smith and he’s had an uphill battle to become as popular as his predecessor, David Tennant. So far, he’s done fantastically well based on fan feedback and critics appraisals.

Since its re- launch in 2005, the series has taken off to new heights of popularity capturing the imagination of children and adults. The latest series has gone out of its way to be much more cinematic in scope and talk of a movie version should be lobbied by fans much more. The last two movies to grace the silver screen was in the late 1960s with the arch enemies the Daleks, evil mechanical monsters bent on destroying the human race. Hammer Horror and genre actor, Peter Cushing played an aged Doctor back then but would a big name fill the boots of the Doctor in a movie version? Personally, Johnny Depp, would be an excellent choice to play an eccentric but goodhearted Doctor but he’s not exactly a British actor. But then again, why not let Matt Smith take the lime light as he’s carrying the show so far.
