I have been watching the season premier of Dr. Who, and Smith is brilliant in the role. He has the energy of Tom Baker, and the passion for the role. Not as snappy of a dresser, but that is OK.
I have fallen in love with Amy, his new companion. She is just dishonest enough to be extremely resourceful. She is played by the hauntingly beautiful Karen Sheila Gillam, just 22 years of age.
