Dr Who Rolls On

Posted by Zonk on from the tardis-ho dept.

derek_farn writes "It looks like us lucky Brits will be getting a Dr Who christmas special, plus a third series has been commissioned. Those of you who get their news from the BBC web site will know that the current Dr Who, Christopher Eccleston, left after the first series and was replaced by the actor who recently played Casanova in a mini-series (not quite the same as the women wearing lycra in Star Trek, but we Brits are a bit more reserved)."

    Rose (played by Billie Piper) will also stay on for the entire second season, despite rumors that said otherwise.

    ...the series so far has been truly awesome. I'm watching AVIs in the US that I download from a Tivo in the UK each week. I feel like I ought to be paying the BBC money to encourage them to keep up the good work - but I guess I'll just buy the boxed set when it's released.

    The whole Bad Wolf thing has been particularly entertaining. They're even making comparisons to Pynchon in the UK.

    Beg, buy, borrow or steal it. Whatever, just make sure you watch it!
