For me it will be him stepping out of the Tardis and being the Doctor that I will miss the most. That smile, the cheeky boyish grin, that coat, and that hand - love the hand. Sorry, caught up in nostalgia. He is the first ever Doctor that I wanted to be like, wanted to dress like, that and Captain Jack,, still to buy the airman's jacket. But I went to Edinburgh and bought a pair of Converse trainers. They're not all that comfortable not all day wear. But they're black and I wear them proudly when the sun is shining. I have a lot of Doctor who figures of 10, I collect Doctor Who stuff like its going out of fashion, I've saved the Doctor Who toys from being sold at boot sales by the kids. So yeah, I'm gonna miss him a lot. The new doctor has settled on me now, I guess because initially it was oh my god, he's horrible, but that could have been the reaction to the fact I was losing David. But I will miss seeing 10 on the show. Ironic somehow that TENnant is 10th Doctor.
I've picked up a lot of Doctor Who mannerisms that I use every day, I do that tongue thing at the back of my front teeth that David does. I ruffle my short hair that I'm desperately trying to grow like the Doctor's. I have my hands in my pockets more than ever. He has done so much for my confidence since taking over the role of Doctor Who that I have a lot to thank him for. No other characer on any other show or film has ever affected me like the Doctor. When I walk to school sometimes, not so much now, but last year and the year before that, when I walked to school, I felt that he was walking behind me, or watching me from the top of Wood Avenue, where I live, or he would try to make me smile by striding beside me. It's an uplifting feeling when you think he's close and I felt safe. Stupid I know, but maybe not. Everyone has an imaginery friend, I guess the Doctor is mine.
I know we'll see him on the telly again soon, he and Russell will bound to make another film, just watch this space. But it will be sad turning on Doctor Who, hearing the theme tune and seeing a different name in the titles. I just hope when the regeneration sequence comes out that its not a crap ending like previous doctors. It has to be something momentous, worth watching - no going back.

See, the sad thing is that the teeth thing is something that I did BT (Before Ten). But I think the thing I'm going to miss the most is his laugh and his smile. He just made it all so... exciting!

From the moment he uttered the words 'Now, where was I, Oh yes, Barcelona!' he had it. And has maintained that whimsical but unstoppable energy from day one.
I remember reading how during the filiming of The Christmas Invasion he was full of nervous energy. He may of been but since then he has been that bundle of madness, thundering through adventure after adventure like a runaway train. Never stopping, never faltering.
He plays knowledge and wisdom with a young exterior so well. Behind his eyes is the darkness, the kindness and the weight of the universe.
i have to say its what debbie and sue have said Exspecially when hes goes oh yes where was i oh yes barcelonia and the bit where hes goes am i ginger hehe
He is the only person I know off the telly that actually mouthes the words, he uses his whole mouth to speak. Perhaps that comes from acting on the stage, where you normally have to shout. I like the bits where he starts talking a hundred words a minute and then shouts making his co-star jump and everyone else. Its hilarious but brilliant. I loved the camaraderie between him and Catherine Tate who I at first was unsure of as a companion, but the Journey's end bit where they were in the Tardis, their comic piece was fantastic and well timed and rehearsed. I could watch that over and over again.
It will be weird not seeing him. So hopefully he'll still be around Cardiff in a fortnight, so I can soak up the Doctor BIG TIME.
