TELEVISION: The Eleventh Doctor Chats with Jonathan Ross!

Smith on Jonathan Ross

While Doctor Who might not be a big enough hit in North America to warrant appearances on The Tonight Show, or The Late Show [maybe Craig Ferguson should send him an invitation…], the new Doctor, Matt Smith is doing one of the U.K.’s premiere chat shows, this week’s edition of Friday Night with Jonathan Ross [BBC America, 10/9C].

Smith will talk about his [very secretive] road to Doctor Who; provide revelations about The Doctor’s space-time-hopping vehicle, the TARDIS, and express his desire to stay with the role/show.

Ross’ other guests will be actor Emma Thompson [An Education] and British electro-pop duo Goldfrapp.

Series/Season Five of Doctor Who premieres on BBC America on Saturday, April 17th.
