The Proms are basically big concerts. Apparently there's something special about them, because they air on tv for a week and tickets are hard to come by, but I don't get what's so special. Maybe you have to grow up with them.
Anyway, this year they ran a short Doctor Who special with David Tennant doing a pre-filmed bit "conducting" the live orchestra in the concert hall. It was called "Music of the Spheres" - probably on youtube somewhere.

I didn't see who was Who until this morning as I was out last night watching David Tennant play Hamlet - which was a wonderful surprise - the poor guy was supposed to still be off sick after back surgery, but I guess they couldn't keep him away. We gave him a standing ovation for effort.
First impressions went something like: - Serious cheek bones. - He looks like he has exactly the same hair colour as Ten. - Matt Smith ? - I hope that this guy can play someone ancient trapped in a very young body. - Oh, that guy. He seemed interesting in 'Ruby in the Smoke'. - If they keep de-ageing the Doctor like this, Twelve will be about 15 and (if they carry on), Thirteen will be a hyperactive six-year-old. - I think he might be okay. We'll see in a year's time.

I think, given that they've only got one more life to play with, they're picking somebody young and relatively young so he won't mind being typecast for about six seasons.
