* Creator/MattSmith isn't Italian but [[TheNthDoctor his version]] of [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor]] might be, judging by his gestures. Impersonations of his Doctor (including future Doctor Peter Capaldi's) are incomplete without a good amount of arm waving, finger wiggling, and peculiar postures.
