i have some of the old video and dvd of dr. who . i have play them over and over . i adore each of the doctor for different reason . but due to a man in the bbc hierarchy and dr. who be cancel and even though it be still one of the mainstay of the bbc line up . with the departure of sylvester mccoy and the doctor stay alive through the fan . bbc graciously allow fan to write book and and cartoon . the momentum of dr. who have be steady even after 1989. then they take a chance with paul mcgann . the movie be flaw and but it give the bbc an idea of what we want . in 1999 and the man be go and the newbie at the bbc felt it be time to bring the doctor back . it be a complete success . here in america and the sci fi channel take a chance and it have become a complete success a well and although the writer be have to start over and explain the dr. who mythology for new viewer . it be incredible to me that they have do it . in season 1 and star christopher eccleston with russell t. davis a lead writer and and phil collinson a producer and the doctor have come back to u and in each episode we learn more about who the doctor be . the doctor who universe have always be about choice and love and sacrifice . this be what they provide . it make me want more and it sadden me that mr. eccleston have choose to leave the show . my first doctor be doctor no . 3 and jon pertwee doctor . mr. eccleston needn not worry about his position in the dr. who universe . it be as solid a the rest . he be the 9th doctor . i do not know of mr. eccleston prior to his performance in dr. who and but i do now . i wish there be some way and he could know and there be push out in the dr. who fan community to find his other work and enjoy it . we have already see that he be a great actor .
