More nerdily exciting news!
Like many geeks, I was puzzled that Chris Eccleston, the ninth Doctor Who, only stuck around for one season. That’s a pretty short run.
So I looked it up on the internets. When I found out why he’s no longer on the show, my head exploded into a thousand tiny bits.
Chris Eccleston stopped being Doctor Who so that he could take the lead in a remake of The Prisoner.
He is going to be Number 6.
Wow. Let me repeat: Wowwee wow wow wow.
For a level 17 geek such as myself, this is very, very exciting. Even if the remake is going to be more like the show 24 than the old show (I guess that means no man-eating weather balloons or penny-farthing bikes).
And for all of you who’ve read this and have no idea what I’m talking about, congratulations! You’re not a geek! You probably also went on a date before you were a freshman in college! Good for You! Now, please move. You and your normal social life are blocking the TV.
Footnote: I can feel that some of you are questioning… Kate, did you… did you photoshop the Village symbol on to the Tardis? Just for this post?
Yes. Yes I did.
