Matt Smith has claimed that he was always aware of Doctor Who, despite being born in a generation that didn’t have the show on TV.

The Eleventh Doctor told AOL TV that the programme is ingrained in the fabric of the UK.

Smith said: “I was part of the generation that had the barren spell, where children didn’t have Doctor Who.

“It wasn’t on TV when I was growing up, but it is so ingrained in our fibre in this country it’s impossible not to know something about it.”

When asked who his favorite Doctor was, he added: “I’m a particular fan of Patrick Troughton, although once you get involved like I have, it all becomes one, I think. I’m constantly in awe of all [of] them.

“I know it’s a cliché, but I can’t believe this is work. It never gets dull because each month there are new characters and actors coming in.

“In terms of emulating any of the past Doctors, I don’t think that’s something you can try to do or think about.”
