In an interview with Doctor Who Magazine, the actor said that he did not think he had much chance of being chosen by show producers.
Smith said: "I wasn't a Who fan. I have to be honest - I can't claim to have watched the show in its entirety or have been a follower as avidly as some people are. That's what I'm realising - that people love this show, people are avid, avid fans of it, and know it, and know its history and are part of it.
"I can't claim to know it as well as that, but I'm going to make it my business to do so, and fall into it in as much depth as I possibly can."
He added that he originally feared his audition was over-energised and "too manic" to give him the opportunity of replacing David Tennant.
