Matt Smith would love his 'Doctor Who' alter-ego to visit the dinosaurs

.The actor - who plays the Time Lord in the BBC One sci-fi series – explained if money were no object his dream storyline would be for his character to travel back in time in his TARDIS to visit the pre-historic creatures.

He said: “I’d quite like to go and see the dinosaurs, but I imagine it would be really expensive. That would be really cool. I’d also love to go under the sea - that would be fun.”

However, Matt could soon get his wish, as head writer and executive producer Steven Moffat refused to rule anything out.

He teased: “I have some ideas of what I want to do next with ‘Doctor Who’ but I’m not saying.”

The 28-year-old star – who is dating model Daisy Lowe - also revealed he would love for the Time Lord to get a pet as a companion.

Matt added: “We should get him sort of pet. An owl. An otter. Oswald the otter.”

‘Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol’ will be shown on BBC One at 6pm on Christmas Day (25.12.10).
