The Ninth Doctor...

[fajrdrako]

doctorwho today posts an item from Entertainment Weekly about Doctor Who, basically saying how good it is. With which I can only agree. (It's a list of the 25 SF best SF shows.) But what I liked most was this part:

THE BEST BIT Check out the first season of the newest incarnation, featuring Heroes' Christopher Eccleston as the ninth Doctor (the best ever — apologies to Tom Baker) and the piercing, poignant wit of writer Russell T. Davies.

David Tennant is so popular I sometimes fear that Christopher Eccleston is forgotten; and I love Eccleston so much in the role.

Though I must say that the phrase "Heroes' Christopher Eccleston" made me smile.

I remember saying when I first saw Claude that CE had used the exact same things on Jack and Rose that he then used on Peter

There were such delicious similarities. I found myself wondering what I would have made of Claude if I didn't already know him as the Doctor - would I have loved him so much? I'm not sure, but I think so. For the same reasons.

a kind of fob-watched Nine, ages before HN/FOB aired.

I don't remember reading that; I must have missed it. Can you send me the title and URL? It sounds delicious.

My little Claude-as-Nine story, "Chameleon", is here, with a Jack/Tosh, a Jack/Suzie and a Clark/Lois:
