New Doctor Who creates drama on and off the stage

New Doctor Who Matt Smith created drama on and off the stage at school by almost burning down a classroom, his former teacher has revealed. The Time Lord was passing time in his last drama lesson at Northampton School for Boys when an overloaded lights console exploded and burst into flames. Smith's GCSE drama teacher Matt Evans said: My lasting memory of Matt is burning down the drama studio. I'd popped to the office when he came running in shouting 'sir, sir the studio's on fire'. Evans, who still teaches at the school where the 26-year-old first took to the stage, was shocked to see three fire engines turn up. He said: It was a bit of an over response and was probably my fault really because the lights console was overloaded. Evans has fond memories of Smith as a popular and talented pupil who was captain of the football team for five years and one of the best head boys the school has ever had. Here are some pictures of him in high school performances. Pictured: Matt Smith Picture by: Splash News
