Christopher Eccleston from such things as 28 days later, shallow grave and that fantastic 2 parter from last year called "The second coming" has been confirmed by the BBC as the next doctor who!

what are your thoughts on this Mr Pointy?

Excellent news - one of my favourite British actors. I thought he was brilliant in the stuff you've mentioned and also in "Our friends in the North" from a few years back. I think I would've preferred Bill Nighy as I'm not sure Christopher is old enough (I always thought that about Peter Davison) - but, hey, he's a bloody superb actor - he'll act it😉
 
yeah he's an excellent actor i was hoping for Nighy for the old guy look and more importantly cos i'm in the same film as him!

i know he's playing slartybartfast in the basterdised hitchhiker movie (the bad bad man) so that might have somthing to do with it.

Actually, with Bill Nighy and Martin Freeman ( Tim from The Office as Arthur - for those of you who aren't Faldor🙂) I don't think it'll be so bad - although I'm not sure that rap bloke Mos Def is who I'd pick for Ford - still, I go back to the radio version of Hitchiker's Guide, so I'm v biased.
Was Bill Nighy in Shaun of the Dead? Or did you have a part in Love Actually?🙂
 
Ford Prefect isnt black ::rm:: he's a white bloke from guilford (just like me) or so he claims (just like me) oh and he's not even a little bit american (just like me)

go back to the radio series its hitch hikers bliss ::dance::

Bill Nighy is indeed Shauns father in lor of the dead. but he wasnt in the shoots i was at. still would have been nice tho to say im in a film with the doctor tho!

Tom Baker had to say this on the subject of Mr Eccelson "I've never heard of him, i thought i was the only Doctor Who but then again i never watched it, even when i was in it"

ahhh nothing like a crazy man to pass the time 🙂

I guess the Hitchiker film will be made with Hollywood cash - hence the Hollywood casting *Sigh*

Tom Baker isn't crazy - just heavily eccentric :: wacko : :: wacko2
I swear that I've seen interviews with him, when he was playing the Doctor, where it seemed he actually believed he was a Time Lord...made yer method actors look like lightweights
 
Christopher Eccleston is my favourite actor. I am more obsessed with him than I am with Buffy, and thatsb a big obsession in itself. I saw him in 'Our friends in the North' and after that, I had to see everything he was in... I can't wait to see him! I'm glad he has other appreciaters 🙂
