excerpt as all the articles are the same...

The Glaswegian will lead a motley crew on a voyage across the universe in a new sci-fi series based on the hit Stargate movie and TV franchise.

That move will pave the way for a rival to take control of the Tardis when the next Doctor is announced later this week

Cool. Yes! We hear who the new Doctor Who will be this week? However, I do suspect I'll go "who?" (bad pun) as it will no doubt be an actor from the UK and since not a lot of UK stuff gets to the States except for PBS "Inspector Lynley" stuff, I'll have to research him. Her? Who?

It's possible the press got it wrong. wouldn't be the first time! ;)

That's for sure!

I'm not sure which will bring the most change to the series -- a new Doctor or a new showrunner.

It is rather refreshing that British shows and actors seem to have a better grasp of being able to quit while you're ahead. Sure, there's decades worth of Doctor Who, but it wasn't churned out season after season like an American network would demand.

I'd rather wait and get quality dining instead of being in a rush and only having time for fast food. I'm much the same with my TV viewing.

Yeah, here everything is copied off UK shows or mass produced (like a gazillion CSI clones)...
