New Doctor Who Announced
Sat 20th March, 2004 | 7:24 amChristopher Ecclestone is to play The Doctor in the new TV series of Doctor Who .
Having seen him in lots of film and TV, I think he’ll make an excellent Doctor. He’s previously worked with Russell T. Davies, the new writer/executive producer, on The Second Coming which got very good reviews (though I didn’t see it myself).
I’ve no idea whether I’ll be in the country when the show finally airs, but I think he has the potential to be one of the great Doctors, up there with Tom Baker. Here’s hoping!
I thought Eddie Izzard was going to do it

Nope, though I think that was Tom Baker’s personal recommendation.
