I'm declaring this beet, goat cheese, fennel, and bacon flatbread a success.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Peter Davison took on the mantle at age 30. Matt Smith was 28. So he wasn't extraordinarily young, or anything
But Peter Davison himself was a decade younger than any other Doctor from the original series when he took the mantle.

I remember he was considered terribly youthful when he took the scarf. (and unraveled it, the bastard!)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Hmm...I know it's completely contradictory, but I think Smith played both an older and younger Doctor than Tennant (it makes sense in my head...). He's also more or less my age, which is a purely subjective, but very meaningful (to me) dividing line.
Anyway, I am to bed.

I thought I read somewhere that it was cannon the the Doctor got younger with each regeneration. I could be wrong.

Wasn't it canon that there were only 10 regenerations?

Twelve. Which would technically mean thirteen doctors, so I guess they have one left up their sleeve.

I think that's canon that they may conveniently forget.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think there has been recent-ish dialog implying that the 12 regenerations isn't hard and fast.
