Recalling Smith's Who audition, the show's executive producer said that he thought the 27-year-old actor was too young for the role.
"He so didn't fit my imaginary profile of where we were going, 'cos I did think we were probably going older," he told Doctor Who Magazine.
"I thought it's mid-30s to mid-40s. I still maintain that's where most of your Doctors will be, in that age group - young enough to run, but old enough to look like they can be King of the Universe."
