OK guys, I live in England and it looks like you are well behind on the Dr.Who news. Eccleston quit - more or less at the same time as the first episode aired. He's now been officially replaced by a guy called David Tennant, who recently stared as Casanova in a BBC miniseries. I doubt you've seen it in the states (unless it's on BBC America, I don't know) but anyway, he was pretty good in Casanova, kind of cheeky, so I think he'll make a good doctor, although he's perhaps a little young. If you want up to date Dr.Who info the best place is bbc.co.uk

Incidentally, I thought the first episode was pretty lame. The second was a bit better and it's improving steadily as it goes on, and now the Daleks are back it should be getting good.
