Moen: 'Matt Smith is too young for Who'

Alexandra Moen has admitted that she will miss David Tennant when he leaves Doctor Who.

Moen, who plays the Master's wife Lucy Saxon, added that she is still unsure about his replacement Matt Smith.

Speaking to The Mirror, she said: "I don't know about Matt. For me, it will always be David. Matt's too young. David is definitely my favourite Doctor. The thing about him is he's a genuine Doctor Who fan."

Moen praised Tennant, describing him as "genuinely interested in people", "caring" and a "hard worker".

"He also has a geeky charm and dry wit," she added. "He has this swoony effect because he is so approachable. He brings out your maternal instinct. Everyone loves him."

However, she also said that Matt Smith could end up making the role his own.

"There have been so many Doctors and there's a lot of pressure, but Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant have shown that you have the licence to do your own thing," she explained.

"Matt could be amazing. There's a real buzz about him coming in. The good thing for him is he is kicking off with a new production team so everyone's keen to make their mark."

Part two of Doctor Who: The End of Time is on BBC One at 6.40pm on New Year's Day.
