A letter from todays Grauniad;
'How dare Chris Eccleston have a life and ambitions (Who's next as new Doctor quits, March 31). So he's pulled off a staggering performance on a punishing schedule (with unfailing good humour and grace on set) revitalising the Doctor for a new generation. He's only done a mere 10 hours of thrilling television. God forbid we should give him a round of applause.
Joe Ahearne
Director, Doctor Who episodes 6, 8, 11, 12 and 13'
For what its worth.
