New Doctor talks future fashions

The actor who will next play Doctor Who reckons he'll have to tone DOWN his dress sense when he starts filming!

Matt Smith was revealed as the 11th Doctor just after Christmas and has now given his first interview.

Matt confessed to the official Doctor Who Magazine that his own clothes are a bit "elaborate" so producers may choose to make the Doctor's more basic.

He also said he's got a meeting soon with programme bosses to try to work out what type of Doctor his will be.

Matt added about his wardrobe: "I'm a big fan of long coats and rather dashing scarves in everyday life, so who knows?

"For the audition, I rocked up in whatever, so I think they're having to tone down what I wear in real life for the Doctor! I am a rather elaborate dresser.

"That's what's lovely, there are all these exciting things - what's he going to wear, what's he going to do in his first scene with his companion, which monsters will he meet, will he meet the Daleks?

"This show is so alive, it really is. I can't ever quite forget that I'm the Doctor - which is weird, because it's still so far away."

Matt's first episodes as the Doctor are expected in 2010, after four more specials starring current Doctor David Tennant.
