Kravex Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Was on the radio news this morning saying the same thing, a bit early for him to quit didn't even give anyone the chance to get an opinion of him as the Doctor. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan - Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 not that i wach dr.who but i did hear it on the news this morning, that he is quitting after 10 million viewers tuned in for it last week for some reason :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy Veteran Posted March 31, 2005 Veteran Share Posted March 31, 2005 Ah Well at least he will go in history books for being the doctor at some occasion...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunamonkey Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Good on him. I always prefered him in Cracker, I don't think he suits the jokey character they tried to force on him in Dr.Who. He probably is a funny guy, but it was too fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozric Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I think he's a great doctor and can understand his fears of becoming typecast, although I do wonder why he only realised this after joining the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesbmarshall Subscriber¹ Posted March 31, 2005 Subscriber¹ Share Posted March 31, 2005 (edited) I don't know how half the UK can actually like what they have done to the series. I know Dr. Who has never been too sophisticated, or high budget but I expected something a little more than stupid humour and reincarnations of previous villains (except the Daleks, of course). I don't think he was the best choice of Doctor. Personally I think Richard E. Grant would have been a better choice, but then I don't make the decisions. As for him quitting, I heard about this late last night from a friend, and on Sky News, I was shocked and amazed that he would quit after one series, he could at least have the tenacity to have his couple of years in the Doctors position. I just hope whoever they draft in next brings the class and sensibility to Dr. Who than Paul McGann did in the 90s in his TVM.

E t h a n Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I've never been a fan of that show, but I quite liked the first episode. Eccleston was hilarious. Shame he's leaving. Maybe Billie Piper will be staying! :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Derf Veteran Posted March 31, 2005 Veteran Share Posted March 31, 2005 Isn't there some sort of requirement to get as many actors to play the role of Dr. Who as possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambooo Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Well that didn't last long :sleep: At least they're keeping it moving and not deciding to axe it after the main man leaves.. Edit: poll doesn't work :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 the bbc's little voting thing seems to be buggered atm, imo Alan Davies would make a cool Dr, hes got the hair and generally looks like he could just slip into the roll, other than him I guess Richard E Grant could work as well.
