Actor Christopher Eccleston has quit as Doctor Who after just one episode of the new series, the BBC has confirmed.
Eccleston, whose first appearance as the Doctor on Saturday
attracted around 10 million viewers, is leaving at Christmas as he fears being typecast.
"Talks are taking place to replace him with Casanova star David Tennant.
"The BBC has commissioned a second, 13-part Doctor Who series, which will again be written by Russell T Davies and feature Billie Piper as Rose."
