Happy Birthday, Matt Smith!

Well, Matt Smith has hit the grand old age of 32 today - still a young whippersnapper to a lot of us.   Not only are fans on facebook, tumblr and twitter madly posting photos and gifs in celebration (check out the #HappyBirthdayMattSmith tag on twitter and add your own message) but we've decided to post a few videos of our favourite moments from his career so far.  (If it's photos you crave then we have lots of photos of Matt in the Matt Smith section of the Coppermine Gallery.)  Even the BBC Doctor Who Shop have jumped on the celebration bandwagon and are offering special deals on Matt Smith merchandise - check it out here.

So.  Videos.  First up, a little something from way back in 2007.  A very youthful Matt played Ian Hanley in 2 episodes of Series 2 of "The Street" - and here's a little clip from episode 4:

A bit more recent now - "Moses Jones" - filmed prior to the announcement of Matt as the Eleventh Doctor but transmitted on BBC 1 after, Matt plays DS Dan Twentyman:

And then there's that cute little short film "Together" (have a look for it on itunes):

Of course, we couldn't miss out the intriguing and rather controversial film, "Clone" (originally titled "Womb").  It's definitely thought-provoking:

Then there's the critically acclaimed "Christopher and His Kind":

In "Bert and Dickie" we got to see a bit of muscle during the rowing scenes:

And, in the UK, we're not only waiting for a release date but also a UK distributor for "Lost River" - we'd love to see more of your muscles, Matt, but we may not get the chance:

This, of course, wouldn't be complete without "Doctor Who" clips.  The Eleventh Doctor is, after all, someone a little bit special.  Instead of posting numerous small videos, have a 13 minute clip extravaganza instead:

Happy Birthday, Mr Smith.  We very much look forward to seeing you on screen again soon in "Terminator: Genisys" and "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies".
