Matt Smith’s portrayal of the Doctor was distinguished by his enthusiasm for and curiosity about all facets of the universe.
In June 2010, he performed a version of the Doctor Who theme with Orbital at the Glastonbury Festival, and in July 2010, he presented the Doctor Who Prom at the Royal Albert Hall.
In May 2012, he carried the Olympic torch in Cardiff, a tribute to a Doctor Who episode from 2006 in which the Doctor did the same.
Smith confirmed in June 2013 that he would be departing Doctor Who following the 2013 Christmas special, and he was succeeded by Peter Capaldi.
Smith has since expressed sorrow for not remaining on the program longer and stated a desire to collaborate further with co-star Jenna Coleman.
In a 2018 interview on Desert Island Discs, he also confessed that he almost rejected the part of the Doctor.
