He told SFX: "I've read the first draft. I think the whole of this season leads brilliantly up to what will be the biggest event in the history of the show. I say that with no hesitation, really. Steven Moffat is on top form and has delivered a thoroughly exciting, epic, vast science-fiction script. It's really exciting.
"We start shooting that very soon, and there'll be a lot of surprises coming your way, let me tell you. A lot," Smith continued. "It's one of those scripts that you read and you go 'Whoa, here we go… what's he done? What has Steven done with it?' You wouldn't really want anyone else writing it, would you? He's a proper fan, and, to my mind, one of the greatest science-fiction writers around.
"It's about celebrating everyone that's been involved with it, all the wonderful actors that have taken part before me.
"I feel in a very privileged position, having had people like David and Chris, Tom, Patrick, Jon, William Hartnell… great, great actors behind me... It's about all of us who got it here..."

In other Doctor Who news, have you ever wondered how Madame Vastra, Jenny Flint and Strax ended up together?
Well, here's the rather lovely and giggle-worthy backstory, in which we see the trio's beginnings after the events of Demons Run and before we saw them again in last year's Christmas special, The Snowmen.
Cute, eh?
Doctor Who will return to BBC One on Saturday 30th March at 6.15pm.
