A New Doctor Already?!

The new Doctor Who series has become a big hit in Great Britain, and it has already been renewed for a second series (season). Unfortunately, the offical ninth Doctor, Christopher Eccleston, will not be returning. Eccleston cites that he's not returning because of a "grueling" schedule and the large amount of attention the role's brought him, including the tabloids.

Billie Piper, who plays companion Rose Tyler, will be returning for the second series. David Tennant has been offically chosen as the tenth Doctor.

In other news, U.S. fans may only get a look at the newest series from a DVD release sometime after the U.K. release in late Fall of 2005. There will be separate episodic DVDs and a collected DVD season set with extras.
