I'm bummed out but not overly surprised. Eccleston was a strange choice in the first place, given that he was a film actor rather than a TV one.

His replacement is likely to be David Tennant, about which I know little - except that he's only five years older than me which seems a little young.

Wow!

Bill Nighy has also been mentioned as being considered. Now he would be a great choice.

I'd go for Nighy as the 10th Doctor. Or Aiden Gillen (Stuart in the UK Queer as Folk).

so I always wondered - what happens when the Doctor reaches his last incarnation? Possibly be rewarded for some deed with a new complete set of incarnations? :P

I've always marvelled at people who ask that question as if the BBC is going to reach the end of actor #13 and simply say "Oh well, that's I suppose. Wish we'd thought of giving him 27 or 35 regenerations instead. Bugger!"

He'll get more lives. Somehow. It's science fiction! The Master was last seen on incarnation no. 15 anyway.

yes, but somehow I doubt that the Doctor is going to gain lives the way the Master did :P

I'm sure the BBC will get through 13, given that the 9th only lasted 1 season ;)

Ah crap, I really liked Eccleston as the new Doctor (even if he did walk like Kryten!)... ah well, at least we'll have one series with him, and hopefully he'll come back long enough to die and regenerate in the next one. ;)

He seems well enough disposed to the Doctor so that they won't have to make him fall over and bump his head :)

I'd vote for Nighy, given the option of him and Tennant, but I think the same problem would arise with film v. TV.

I think they need to be sure the actor is absolutely willing to stick around for the three years minimum.

Nighy would be bloody funny but isn't it about time they had an attractive Dr?? C'mon, nine incarnations and not one looker yet? Yeah Right.

David Tennant- Hell YEAH!!!! *grabs fan for suddenly warm forehead*
