EXCLUSIVE! Peter Davison talks Matt Smith

Until Matt Smith was announced as the Eleventh Doctor last month, Fifth Doctor Peter Davison was the youngest man to take the TARDIS helm. We spoke to him about Smith's casting:

What was your reaction when you heard about Matt Smith being cast?
Did you think they’d go for someone more well known? Or someone older?
I only ever had one thought on my wish list – get an actor. With that in
mind he seems a perfect choice. However, I hope they don't get too dogged
about never casting older in the future.
