Shallow Grave actor Christopher Eccleston has been named as the new Doctor Who to front the cult BBC sci-fi show when it returns next year.

Eccleston, who starred alongside Nicole Kidman in the horror movie The Others, will be the ninth TV Time Lord to control the Tardis in a 13-part series. The 40-year-old has starred in Flesh and Blood, The Second Coming, and TV series Our Friends in the North. The BBC said the Salford-born actor would take "a fresh, modern approach".

I remember this guy now...

Yes, this could be great! And it's going to be a 13-part series? For the BBC, that's a hell of an initial commitment, especially for something that's been dormant for over 10 years.

Daleks may return to Doctor Who

The BBC is in talks to bring back the Daleks for its new Doctor Who series. Fans feared copyright problems between the BBC and the estate of late sci-fi writer Terry Nation, who created the Daleks, would prevent their return. But a BBC spokeswoman said: "We are negotiating to feature the Daleks in the new series, but no deal has yet been made."


I may dust Cuddles off....
EXTERMINATE!

Well, they said 13, but if the show is successful, they might extend it a bit, which I can't wait.

Honestly, I can't remember a series of Doctor Who that I've watched when it was on TV for the first time. So this'll be great for me, but I don't think they should go on all the past aliens, because it might turn out like Enterprise, thinking "Oh, the Borg were great. Let's add them", etc. One or two of the original aliens, but I hope it'll be more darker, cause I love dark shows... but that's me.
