Full story (source):
IN other, rather splendid news, My wee nephews were cycling by the river in Henley where they live. They spotted Matt Smith filming something about two rowers, and they hung around for a bit as he got off the boat. He started talking to them (they are massive Doctor Who fans - I have done my Uncly duties very much in that regard) and he chatted to them for a few minutes. Then someone from the production team said to MS “Do you want a lift in the boat?” - they had their base camp about half a mile upstream. MS said “it’s okay, I’ll walk and chat with these boys for a bit”.
So they talked to him as they walked up river for about fifteen minutes; about football, Doctor who etc.
Quotable quotes:
My nephew J (aged 7) - “I got your sonic screwdriver for Christmas”
MS “It’s brilliant, isn’t it? Have you found the secret invisibility setting?”
Nephew H asked about the filming:
MS “it’s about two olympic rowers who didn’t get on very well, but won a gold medal. I play the not very good one, but I think that’s just me.”
H also asked about Doctor Who - MS “It’s pretty scary, next half, but if you’ve managed the silents, then you’ll really love it.”
They also said “My Uncle Gelth has been watching Doctor Who since he was really little, and he thinks you’re the best Doctor, equal with Patrick Troughton”
To which Matt Smith said, “then your Uncle Gelth is a man of infinite taste and discernment.”
And so, as it happens, I am :)
What a nice bloke though, to make the day of just two wee boys who happened to be passing
