Like an immature fanboy, I got a bit peeved at the news that Christopher Eccleston has quit already (you sign up to play the Doctor for at least three years, dammit!), but that's just silly of me. But it is disappointing that his Doctor won't get rally fleshed out, and that we won't look back on 'the Christopher Eccleston years'.
Patrick Troughton is one of my favourites - the funnest Doctor, as well as the most mystical in a way - although I haven't seen everything of his, and if you were a regular viewer at the time you saw a lot of stories I'll never get to see coz the stupid BBC threw them all out in the early seventies.
I think Doctor Who could actually work a lot better now. The language of television has started catching up with the kind of stories Doctor Who likes to tell, and television audiences have become more savvy, so there can be more story-telling and less endless expositions.
Anyway, I will continue to drool every time someone in Britain talks about it on the net - I'm so jealous!

I can't wait to see the new Doctor Who.
