We are now finally hearing from Doctor Who star Matt Smith on his new co-star Jenna-Louise Coleman! From the sounds of it, he is looking forward to acting alongside the actress.

Talking to BBC Radio Wales ahead of the Doctor Who Convention, Smith said the following:

“It’s very exciting news, I was part of the audition process where we met a number of wonderful actresses. But I think Jenna responded to Steven’s writing in the most interesting way. We’re very excited to welcome her to the Doctor Who family.”

Of course, anyone could predict this reaction given his involvement with the show. However, it’s interesting to finally hear from the current Doctor, who has until now been relatively silent on the matter.

Coleman is due to start filming for the series in the next few weeks, appearing first in this year’s Christmas special and continuing for at least the remaining eight episodes of the seventh series.

Do you think that Matt and Jenna-Louise will have good chemistry?
