Doctor Who: 11 Iconic Things From Matt Smith's Era

9. Sexy/Idris

Doctor Who Doctor And Idris The Doctor has loved his TARDIS since the first episode aired in 1963. During Matt Smith€™s time as the Doctor, we got to visit that love face to face €“ literally. In The Doctor€™s Wife, where the TARIDS is put into a human body, we finally got to hear what the TARDIS had wanted to say for forty-seven years. She was sassy, snarky, and kept the Doctor in place throughout the episode, as it should be. What€™s so beautiful about the episode is that Matt had to play with someone the Doctor had arguably been in love with since the first episode. In one hour, Matt Smith, who didn€™t grow up watching Doctor Who, had to portray almost fifty years of love, and he did so brilliantly. We got to watch the two fall for each other after fifty years and eleven actors talking about their TARDIS. And of course, there was the heart-wrenching ending where she has to, of course, go back in the TARDIS. Matt did an incredible job displaying the heartbreak that would happen after meeting someone for a few hours that you€™ve wanted to meet for years. The man cried tears and we cried with him. The reason that this is so pivotal is because this was an episode forty-some-odd years in the making, and it fell on Matt to display the feelings that Classic Whovian fans and new Whovian fans would believe. Frankly, he did this wonderfully. Also, this was the first time fangirls had an actual person as the TARDIS to ship with Eleven. You know fangirls, give them feels, they will ship.

I'm currently attending my local college while trying to figure out who I am. I love Doctor Who, Sherlock, really any BBC show. I've also been told I'm a bit of a nerd. Specifically, a theatre nerd.
