I think its just that he's had enough of being The Doctor and would like to do other things, like theater and so forth. I like that he wants to end on a high note instead of beating the role to death. It seems a lot easier to escape typecasting over the pond. I've seen actors take on so many

Yeah the roll out is always piecemeal apparently. They tend to concentrate on the areas that already have fiberoptic lines and then spread out from there. I don't know what kind of pipe is in your area. If you've got fiberoptic lines already buried, you're more likely to get service sooner.

Good stuff. Glad to hear that Nolan is resisting the automatic pull to do a third movie. I'd *love* to see how the Batman's plight at the end of The Dark Knight would be resolved. But nothing bothers me more than a sequel that's inferiour to what's come before. Sometimes when the suits get

Sorry. I'm taking a wait and see on this one. Mostly because the Doc is a major sci-fi figures. However, if anyone would do something like this it would be the BBC (as they have a good track record on putting blacks in lead/major roles). And Adrian would be the best choice for it.
