Did you like the new Doctor Who?

[Deja Q]

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.)

1. I haven't see the new Doctor Who and haven't heard of it running on any

US stations. Where did you see it?

2. Bit torrent.... Aired in the UK and in Canada shortly...

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.

4. I liked him

It took a bit of getting used to (don't they all). But he works.
