A little over four years ago, sci-fi television took a massive -- some even predicted lethal -- blow. Christopher Eccleston, the man who'd been hired to be the new Doctor Who for the 21st Century rebirth of the world's longest-running sci-fi show, was stepping down after only one year playing the part. Was the new version of the show doomed just months out of the gate? Even worse, Eccleston was being replaced by a relative unknown -- some skinny git with a goofy grin who'd had a bit part in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Really, how was this guy expected to be the new Doctor? There was just no way on Earth he'd be able to replace Christopher Eccleston. No way at all.
