Not to be that guy, but it was David Tennant not Matt Smith

No problem my friend. Thanks for correcting me.

I'm surprised by that though... Definitely seems more like a Matt Smith one... Perhaps he continued it...

But there you have it. Thanks. Also "big ball of wobbly wobbly timey-wimey stuff" is even funnier than the short snippet I remembered lol.

Speaking of Doctor who related surprises I also recently learnt that the whole "Do you want a jelly baby" thing was first done by the second doctor. The fourth made it famous but it was the second who first did it in a crossover story during the third doctor's era.

And UNIT was also established in the second doctor's era; I thought it came much later.

Smith didn't continue but, funnily, in the 50th anniversary episode with John Hurt, David blames Matt for the phrase to seem 'cool' in front of the War Doctor (John Hurt)

Ah ok... Yeah, completely false memory then it seems, with him saying it 😂

I need a rewatch.

They are similar doctors to be fair in style. Both pretty goofy.

And that's hilarious.
