doctor who good news bad news

since the first episode opened pretty strong, the bbc has already renewed the new doctor who series.

unfortunately, Christopher Eccleston will exit the series shortly. fear of typecasting and a 'grueling' schedule are cited as reasons for the move. since i'm not that aware of the brit acting scene, i can't speak to possible replacements. but, the article names names.

the even worse news is the continued lack of US distribution of new Who, let alone the classic series--my pbs affiliate is apparently one of the last outlets.

note: my own review of the possibly leaked-on-purpose doctor who episode.
