BBC Apologizes To Who Star

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.

  3. OT - Code mainainer - antibiotics from brushing by ugmoe · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    This may be offtopic but, What ever happened to the code maintainer who would post about his mysterious illness that he thinks he may have got by brushing his teeth too much? He said he'd cough up tartar or plaque and so he took a lot of antibiotics and then had some symptoms I don't remember and drove around with his wife a lot over mountains? Thanks, Ugmoe

    Anyone catch "Quiet Undead" and heard that thing about a time war?

    I'm probably just way too tired with only 4 hours of sleep this weekend, but regardless that this is a series about a time traveller, I'm seeing visions of Captain Archer, Daniels, that ship that was bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, future guy and Trek's temporal cold war rearing its ugly head into this.
