Firstly Matt Smith isn't quitting, there was some confusion over a statement he made backstage at the NTAs where he said:
“I’m here for the future, I love making the
show. I have no plans to leave. I’ve got a year of Who and I’ll take it
from there really."
Which left a number of people and MANY 'Tweeters' under the assumption that Smith was only here for another year. In a more recent interview Smith commented on his earlier statement by saying, the future isn't set in stone, however he doesn’t think he’ll be beating Tom Baker’s 7 year record: “I don’t think I’ll be doing it as long as Mr Baker” he remarked.
In an interview with the UK Press Association: “I think there will need to be a younger, cooler person than me, or maybe an older, cooler person, who knows?”
Way to take a stand there Matt...
