"It was a real historic moment for me. I always look at David and go, 'Oh my god. It’s Doctor Who!'" Matt explained. "I’ll happily come back for another anniversary!"

Matt quit Doctor Who in July last year after establishing himself as one of the most popular Time Lords in history.
His role was taken over by Peter Capaldi, who is currently filming the upcoming eighth series alongside Jenna Coleman.
Meanwhile, Matt is looking to move his career Stateside and has won himself a part in Ryan Gosling's directorial debut 'Lost River'.
The movie - which is expected to be released some time this year - tells the story of a single mother who enters a dark lifestyle, while her son uncovers a road leading to an underwater utopia.
The film also stars Eva Mendes, Christina Hendricks and Saoirse Ronan.
