Did you like the new Doctor Who? |
|
Fearing typecasting, Christopher Eccleston has ALREADY called it quits - which wasn't too long after the BBC had announced a 2nd series to be made!!
(from 2 e-mails I'd gotten. one saying the BBC also made a press release.)

3. So I see, you pulled it off the net |
|
Here I thought for a moment that BBC America had already picked it up. I am looking forward one of these days to watching it. I figure sooner or later either, PBS (were I watched all the Doctor Who episodes), BBC America or Sci Fi Channel will run it. Someone else mentioned that he had filmed one episode and then bolted.
