Dr. Who?

Rarely has one actor stayed on my “well-liked” list for so short a period of time. Onto our screens as the Doctor waltzes Christopher Ecclescake - someone I seriously doubted could pull the role off - and he does a fantastic job. The character is believable, I am - much to my surprise, enchanted by the programme.

So far so good.

Now, before even the second episode has aired, we hear that Mr. Ecclefechan has quit the series, in fear of becoming typecast. I also heard that he found the filming schedule “gruelling”. Straight away - hero to zero. What a massive publicity cock-up.

I'll still watch the rest of the series, but cannot help but think of the new Doctor as little more than a traitor. In my book, it's two series minimum, or don't take the part.

So watch out, you potential Dr. Who actors - or you, too, will incur my wrath. Oh yes.

NB Note to potential James Bond actors: My level is three films minimum.

...oh and Blue Peter presenters - Three summers -- absolute bottom whack.
