Matt Smith chats on The Graham Norton Show

12/24/2011 01:32:00 am - Reported by Chuck Foster Matt Smith appeared on The Graham Norton Show tonight, during which he chatted about his Christmas plans, his brushes with fandom, and of course about a certain show he's become associated with that airs on Christmas Day!

When asked about the recent announcment regarding Karen Gillan's departure from the show, he said:

I've known a while, actually, because we've known for a couple of months. It's by mutual consent - I think really those stories just come to a point where it reaches its conclusion, and the very essence of the show is that it constantly re-invents itself.

(on whether he'd go at the same time) I'm very happy to stay, I love it, I love making the show, but I'll miss Karen because she's a good mate, one of my best mates. She's a cracker - mad as a box of cats - but she's a firecracker, she really is.

Talking about fandom, both he and fellow guest Gillian Anderson discussed attending Comic-Cons, with Matt mentioning how he met up with all the other 'Doctors', and when he and co-star Karen Gillan met 'themselves':

Matt Smith and Gillian Anderson discuss Comic-Con, BBC, via the YouTube (may not play outside United Kingdom)

The full show can be watched in the UK via the BBC iPlayer until the 30th December.

Karen Gillan will be a guest on The Graham Norton Show on the 6th January 2012.
