LITTLE Hulton born actor Christopher Eccleston was always going to be a good Dr Who.
The Time Lord's latest reincarnation has former pop songstress Billie Piper as his pretty companion, Rose. And, as a preview of the first episode apparently reveals, has managed to maintain that fun blend of imagination-stretching science fiction perfectly.
There are even some genuinely scary villainous types - no mean feat in today's climate of computer-generated horror.
Eccleston's acting consistently impresses, but he has one other vital attribute to play the good Doctor: wild eyes and a slightly dangerous air.
