OK, now we know that the superb Matt Smith is to be the 11th Doctor, here are my thoughts on how he should play the role:
1) Bring back the flamboyance of Jon Pertwee. Play the Doctor as a charismatic young dandy.
2) Incorporate elements of Peter Davison's portrayal, especially the sense of justice.
3) The costume: something with a hint of Oscar Wilde about it: flamboyant and a tad 19th century.
4) Emphasise the Doctor's darker side and sense of loss, but not all the time.

Just like David Tennant did.

So, basically, you want Matt Smith to be a carbon copy of David Tennant.
How forward-looking.
Not exactly. I'd like him to drop David's tendancy to leap about and over-enthuse about things.
The performance that made him popular with children and the general audience, basically?
Children & the general public would still like a more serious Doctor.

AS you frequently demonstrate your complete disdain for children and [the tv-watching portion of] the general public, who are you to speak for them?
"AS you frequently demonstrate your complete disdain for children and [the tv-watching portion of] the general public, who are you to speak for them?"
Two assertions which are simply completely untrue.
Sounds quite dull really
Now, now Spara. You're avoiding the question rather than answering it again. You are always complainging about youth and television, yet bar mumbling about a made-up word of "Whovianologist" you have given us nothing to suggest you know what you're talking about. Let's see some proof that you speak for the general audience rather than just yourself.
