BBC Apologizes To Who Star

Posted by Zonk on from the sorry-doc dept.

An anonymous reader writes "SciFi Wire is reporting that 'The BBC, which earlier reported that Doctor Who star Christopher Eccleston was leaving the show after the first season, issued an unusual apology to the actor for mischaracterizing his reasons for departing...the network broke an agreement with Eccleston not to reveal that he had planned to film just one season of the hit show all along.'" We covered the announcement of his resignation late last month.

    Do an episode where Dr. Who wakes up in a different body due to some bizarre transformation gun he gets hit with?

    Not a big Dr. Who fan I see.
