Doctor Who QUITS?!?!?!?

Oh my god…

I was going to blog about last night’s marvellous West Wing episode…but I can’t…because the last thing I expected to happen actually happened

CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON — THE 9th DOCTOR — HAS QUIT DOCTOR WHO AFTER ONE SEASON!

The entire world of fandom has been thrown into an uproar…I spent most of last night stunned.

You premiere with 10 million viewers, you get renewed for a second season AND a Christmas special…and then you quit????

Even Colin Baker, Doctor #6, stuck around for 2+ years!

Could this be some insane practical joke? Could it be a contract negotiation tactic? I don’t know…but if it is indeed true, I think it’s a bloody disaster!

Ok…now I need a hug.
