Matt Smith has admitted that he was nervous about taking on the lead role in Doctor Who.

Speaking at the BAFTA screening of last week’s episode, the actor revealed that he turned to his family for encouragement when he first started filming.

“I rang my dad and went, ‘Dad, I’m in trouble. There’s a lot of stuff to learn. The type of language it is and everything else’,” he said.

“I talked to my dad a lot through that first month. I just tried to be brave and to be my Doctor, whatever that is. I still don’t know what that is. I think it will change every day.

“I try to tell the truth every day in the way that actors do I suppose – do it my way, and not think about it.”

He added of being in the show: “To be part of it is a privilege and an honour – an overwhelming one sometimes.”

Doctor Who concludes with ‘The Big Bang’ on Saturday from 6.05pm on BBC One.
