I was SOOOO annoyed at Christopher Eccleston announcing that he would not play Dr Who again that I would welcome ANYONE as the new Dr ( well...within reason )
Have been watching Dr Who since the very first episode in November 1963. Thoroughly enjoying the new series, however one thing is starting to get to me; CE forced plastic cheesy grin! Maybe the BBC should employ Tony and Cherie Blair on Dr Who; those two leering evil grins is enough to make any child hide behind the settee (and one or two adults as well!!)
I think this is the problem I'm having with CE. I think he's a great actor and enjoy his work.. But I feel he's trying too hard to be lighthearted as the Doctor. Again JMHO, and I do admire him for taking on such a different character role.
