unfortunately it's been a long time coming - there have been some pretty strong rumours that he would be leaving either after the fourth series or after the 'specials' - and now we know it's after the specials
on the whole the doctor generally last about 3 to 5 series (seasons) - so I'd say he's about average on that
I know that I was gutted when I realized that Eccelston was leaving after just one series and couldn't imagine anyone replacing him and doing as good a job - but David did it - his Doctor was different from Chris's and as they were from the previous incarnations as well - and David certainly has proven his acting skills in many of the best eps
but I have to say - considering the 'harsh' unforgiving nature of this Doctor it might just seem that it's time to move on (no pun intended) - I've uploaded the video for those wanting to save a copy for themselves or you can watch it on YT - I know some people have major issues trying access videos from BBC
I also found it interesting that David AND John Barrowman are both Scottish and both have beautiful natural Scots accents
