Yes, Matt Smith WOULD Work For Big Finish!

Matt Smith has said he’d definitely consider returning to the role of the Eleventh Doctor for Big Finish… but he’s not been asked yet!

Following the audio company’s acquisition of material up to and including The Time of the Doctor (2013), Big Finish has released a number of fantastic boxsets, including UNIT: Extinction, The Diary of River Song, and The War Doctor, but the most exciting proposition is, of course, the return of Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, and Matt Smith as the Time Lord.

This summer sees Tennant playing the Tenth Doctor once more opposite Catherine Tate’s Donna Noble across three new audios… but will we ever see the return of the Eleventh Doctor? Matt was questioned about this, and he replied:

“No one’s asked me! If they asked me then I guess it’s yeah, I don’t see why not.”

Of course, he might be lying. Maybe Nick Briggs et al. has approached him and we’ll hear the bow-tie-wearing alien very soon. Maybe he can’t say anything until an official announcement is made, which is unlikely to happen for a while so as not to affect The Tenth Doctor Adventures‘ reception.

Or maybe he really hasn’t been approached.

As for whether Eccleston would work for Big Finish… Well, don’t hold your breath, but he does seem a really nice bloke, so maybe that’s not entirely out the question.

In the interview, Matt also says he’s 100% behind Chris Chibnall as showrunner (they worked together on The Hungry Earth/ Cold Blood, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, and The Power of Three), adding that he “writes the Doctor really brilliantly.”

So if Matt does act for Big Finish… Would you like to see some solo stories for the Eleventh Doctor? Or prefer him to be joined by Amy, Rory, River, and/or Clara?
