'DOCTOR Who bosses are lining up Matt Smith’s exit for Christmas — when he will regenerate into the 12th Time Lord.
Insiders say the festive special will be Matt’s last outing as The Doctor, after a triumphant four years in the role.
The actor has made no bones about his ambition to crack Hollywood and has filmed new movie How To Catch A Monster with Ryan Gosling, which is released next year.
Sources say bosses already have an idea of who they want to replace him, with work on the special due to get under way later in the year.
Matt’s contract is understood to expire in November but we understand he doesn’t want it renewed.
Filming on the 50th anniversary episode, airing in November, will begin next month.'

Beats me! Maybe it was from a different universe.
A truly enjoyable series.
I started watching To Baker when I was a kid.
Weird. Oh well.
Same here!
Best line: “Would you like a Jelly Baby?”
‘Him’panions would throw off the entire time continuum.
Tom Baker rocked
the half hour segments stank badly
The Brits certainly love their quirky references.
My obliviousness to TV shows is unsurpassed. Never watched Star Trek either, believe it or not. Did not own a TV until I was 32, and then only to watch Magnum PI and Miami Vice.
What I liked about the show back then is that it was low budget but intellectual.
Any teenage kid could aspire to a production like that..
I don’t think I had a TV until then either.
I never saw Magnum PI or Miami vice.
I did meet Tom Selleck in HI. They were shooting a scene where I was staying.
He was a regular decent guy.
Would you like a Screaming Jelly Baby?

You might say he was "Fantastic". I liked him and Tennant as well. When Matt Smith first appeared I didn"t like him at all, but he grew on me and is an OK Doctor. It would be an interesting twist if the Doctor regenerated as a previous version. That could be a good mystery.
“Well, Dr. Who. ‘English Bob’. The Duke of Norfolk—whatever you’re calling yourself these days ...
What happened? You run out of Chinamen?
“You been talkin’ about that queen of yours? (Sucker punch)
“On Independence Day? (Vicious kick)
“Wait a second ... Is your last name Smith? Or Eccol-who’s it?
“Never mind. I had you confused with the ‘Duck of Death.’
Little Bill
Ive seen a couple of Smith episodes.
I guess I need to see them in sequence.
Every Jelly Baby scene from Doctor Who.

A drunk Doctor.

Looks a little doctored to me.
