If you visit the site's forum dedicated to the return of Doctor Who, you'll find a tempest about this casting that is EXTREMELY reminiscent of what we've gone through recently with BSG.

Personally, I think Eccleston is a great choice. It's funny to see so many Brits complaining that his accent is "too Northern" (i.e., Manchester) to play the Doctor.

I love the Dr. Who series also and I can't blame anyone for being a bit leary
that Eccleston is playing Dr. Who. I think he 'might' make a good Dr. WHO .....
but only Time will tell.

I certainly believe the casting directors are taking a big risk on casting him.

The new Doctor Who is one of the highlighs of the BBC's winter line up. And they have released a wee teaser trailer to whet our appetite!

Dr Who teaser (http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/news/drwho/2004/12/02/15823.shtml)
I could not get it to play right on my PC, but others might have more luck! :salute:
