Who resigns

SF fans are in a state of surprise today after the BBC announced Christopher Eccleston is stepping down from Doctor Who after only one season in the role over fears of typecasting and a desire for new projects. Coming only days after a triumphant first episode which held some ten million viewers attention and drew good reviews (oh, it was very good, wasn't it? I want more!), most fans are a little taken aback that the principal actor should announce he’s stepping down already – I mean, give us a chance to get the action figures into the stores before you leave, Chris! The good news it that the series looks set to return for a second run and that we should have New Who merchandise for you later this year.



You know, after the previous article perhaps we should suggest Steve for the tenth Doctor? Look at him - he's a natural with a Cyberman.
