As if its not enough that Matt Smith has landed the role that many a British actor would gladly give his right arm for, it turns out that he could also get the benefit of a rather nice £1 million contract to sweeten the deal still further. Not bad going for a relative unknown before he landed the part. The 1 million is not per series though, according to the Sun newspaper Matt will get 200,000 per year to play the Doctor for 5 years. Finally pinning someone to to a more long term deal then. After Eccleston only played the Doctor for 1 series and Tennant sitting in for the next 3 ( and the forthcoming specials ), the show producers obviously want to enforce some level of commitment from the star and not have him leave when things are going well.
