Actor Christopher Eccleston has quit as Doctor Who after just one episode of the new series, the BBC has confirmed

Er. Right. Remind me, didn't he actively ask for the role? Oh well.

Feck.

If it's an April Fool then it's a high risk strategy as media history will link it with the Howard Flight fiasco, a story that is still unfolding. Both were ancient and both of them invited warmth and hatred in equal measure, the Tories and Dr Who appeared to be rising strongly before self inflicted wounds.

If it's not an April Fool then surely he could picked a better time to leave. This is not courting controversy, but a live sex show with controversy in the middle of Picadilly Circus.

Either way I agree with zarbi that it does spoil one's interest in later shows.
