I get the impression Eccleston was basically bullied out of the role.0

Really? That is a terrible!MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁0

You notice he chose not to take part in the anniversary episode where David Tennant and Tom Baker did?0

Tennant & Piper were the perfect pair for me! The Bad Wolf Bay scene made me cry and still has me welling up even now
I loved Ecclestone in the role and didn't think that Tennant could better it - but loved him in it - the humour was fab - and the chemistry between him and his co-stars was great

Another who never warmed to Matt Smith and gave up watching altogether mid his season, tried Capaldi once and gave up on him too.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -

Who knew so many of us watch?

I loved Ecclestone as Dr Who, and I liked Tennant at first.
But I stopped watching for ages because I couldn't put up with Billie Piper and all the 'mush'
I started watching again when Billie Piper went, but it all seems so convoluted, and most of the time i just don't care about what happens.
Which is quite sad for a a person who's watched from the first episode (even though I was only 3)Early retired - 18th December 2014
If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough0 -
I've just read all the Dr Who comments out to DD and DS - their views below:
Russell T Davies - good linking between episodes and excellent story lines. Catherine Tate was fab.
Conditions and timings forced Ecclestone to leave. He put his foot down and said no - time pressures were ridiculous to complete episodes.
Steve Moffatt is good at scary but story lines don't flow.
We feel Capaldi works because we look on him as father/grandfather rather than any other relationship.
I have to take my glasses off if it gets too scary
