Matt Smith has admitted that he is a little envious of Peter Capaldi after he heard exactly what Steven Moffat has cooked up for Series 8 of Doctor Who.

Speaking at the recent Calgary Expo panel, Smith said: “I rang Steven Moffat up the other day and found out everything about the new series. It sounds really good! I was really jealous actually.”

Smith said that he has felt the odd tinge of regret since his departure: “You never really think you’re going to leave and then it comes and you’re like ‘Oh no. What am I doing? Why have I left?’ There’s a lot of that.”
