New Doctor Who TV series.

I shit you not. Airing in 2005. No actor announced yet.

CNN story, BBC announcement.

Mad props to wendolen for passing the news along to me.

I can't even express how happy I am right now.

The newest Dr. Who rumour, courtesy of Tom Baker on England's Radio 5 this morning, is that Eddie Izzard will be playing the Doctor.

I take this one with a heaping big grain of salt, I find it very hard to believe. Izzard would make a great Doctor, but it just doesn't seem like the kind of thing he would do...

No chance. :) Tom has a history of fucking with the press; he's the one who started the whole "the next Doctor might be a woman" rumor back in 1980. I wouldn't trust a word the man has to say on the subject, bless his heart.

That said, I'd love to see Eddie as the Doctor.
