This morning we were finally shown the look that the Eleventh Doctor will sport during the new series of  Doctor Who and he looks like Indiana Jones in teacher mode in hobnail boots. As you can see in the photo to the right Matt Smith will be wearing a geeky bow tie and history professor style jacket. Hot quite what I was expecting but I think he look pretty cool and I can’t wait to see what he does with the role. Karen Gillan who will be playing new companion Amy Pond looks rather tasty next to him there too.

Smith arrived on set this morning to start filming the fifth series of Doctor Who since its revival in 2005. He commented “The scripts are brilliant – I’m excited about the future and all the brilliant adventures I get to go on as the Doctor.”

New show runner Steven Moffat is pretty fired up about the new pair and the new series in general. “Matt and Karen are going to be incredible, and Doctor Who is going to come alive on Saturday nights in a whole new way,” Moffat enthuses.

It is going to be along wait until Spring 2010. Luckily there are still some David Tennant episodes to go until then.
