Boing Boing: New Dr Who star quits

Boing Boing: New Dr Who star quits after one episode
I can't believe he has quit Dr Who after only one episode has been aired. He was great. The whole episode was great - except for Graham Norton cutting through at the start... Duh.

My colleague who is well-versed in these things says it is about money and he wants more and when he gets it could be back. We shall wait and see. Seems odd though since he emailed the team to get the part.

I think Eddie Izzard would make a great replacement.
