Fan Paints Dalek In England Colours

Now a member of the excellent Dalek-building forums Project Dalek, I discovered this curiousity.

Fan Chris Balcombe has painted his 70s-Style Dalek replica in red and white, complete with England flags and vuvuzela (instead of a plunger, see?). The full story can be seen, complete with picture, on The Sun's website here.

NOTE TO OWNERS OF FAN SITES: The Sun prevents right-clicking of images on their website, so we can't use their picture on our posts -  I got the image I used from here. If you know of a way to solve this problem, other than emailing the editor, please leave a comment. Thanks!

Radio Times Invents More Stories For The Sun To Spin Into Rumours

This time, Eccleston has actually said it. It's interesting he's being honest yet not having the issue at hand I decided to use The Sun's article:

Former Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston says he quit the BBC1 show because he couldn't stand the way the cast and crew were treated.



Eccleston, 46, became the Time Lord when the show was revived in 2004 - but left after one series. At the time, the BBC said he left because he was "tired" and didn't want to be typecast.


But they had to apologise after he said that was not true. He told Radio Times: "They handled it very badly but issued an apology."


Eccleston said of playing the Doctor: "I didn't enjoy the environment and the culture that we, the cast and crew, had to work in. I wasn't comfortable. I thought: 'If I stay in this job, I'm going to have to blind myself to certain things that I thought were wrong.' I think it's more important to be your own man than be successful."


Eccleston, who stars as John Lennon in new BBC4 drama Naked Lennon [sic] next week, was replaced as Doctor Who by David Tennant.
