Trivia:
Christopher Eccleston is the third actor to play the ninth Doctor, and his ninth Doctor is the third version of the character. Rowan Atkinson played the ninth Doctor in the 1999 BBC Comic Relief charity spoof _'Comic Relief: Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death (1999) (V)'_. Five years later, Richard E. Grant voiced a different ninth Doctor in the BBC web animation "Doctor Who: Scream of the Shalka" (2003). Only Eccleston's ninth Doctor is "canon", or official. more
Quotes:
The Doctor: ...The Master, He just showed up again, the same as ever
The Doctor: Oh no. Really? Does he still have that rubbish beard?
The Doctor: No, no beard this time. Well, a wife.

Fantastic, 25 April 2005

I have now had the pleasure of watching through the fourth episode and can say that I think the new series is a delight - and no less a delight than the classic series. As with each Doctor, this is another take on the concept and it's a sharp one at that.

Eccleston's Doctor is the most alien Doctor of them all and his realization is a pleasure. Piper's Rose is the real surprise of the show, she's just very likable and has chutzpah.

This series seems to be less about the Doctor versus aliens than really examining the Doctor's relationship with his companions - why he does it, the psychology of a guy who would keep taking on these people and showing them the whole of the universe - and using the science fiction action as a backdrop. It's very Alan Moore actually. The Doctor comes off as a mix of over eager, kind, self-serving, egotistical, innocent, and many other traits. This is the most complex Doctor after Tom Baker.
