Christopher Eccleston

Love him. Ridiculously talented, and damn sexy.

He was perfect as the Doctor, and David Tennant, however cute, can't compare.

Slightly OT:

Christopher Eccleston
Clive Owen
Robson Green
James Purefoy

All born in 1964. What the fuck was in the British water that year? And where can we find more of it? 1964 was a very very good year for English actors.

So no one knows where the 'the fucking shit is fucking brown' line comes from?

I googled the phrase with his name and found this. You'll need to scroll down about halfway. The poem is called "Evidently Chickentown." According to the page:

The inclusion of this pair began with a rather good play (TV film) Strumpet on BBC2 on 7th October 2001. One of the main characters, stunningly played by Christopher Eccleston performed the second poem, Chickentown, in a pub (or club, or Karaoke night, or something similar) in an early scene.

Cool, thanks! That must be it. I'm sad that the phrase i rmemeber so well isn't there though, i wonder if there're 2 versions? I kept waiting to read 'the fucking shit is fucking brown' and it never happened. I think this must be the onyl scene in the movie i caught because i rememember fucking all about the rest of the fucking plot (shout out) - anyone else see it? I might try ordering it over the net. Even reading it (and i am not one who goes for 'modern' poetry) it does have a great rhythym to it!

I think I'd remove Robson Green from that list (memories of Robson and Jerome singing Unchained Melody are too fresh ) but otherwise? Hell yeah.

More on topic: how adorable is [blue]this[/blue], despite the presence of the slightly creepy preternaturally assured child?

Ok that guy really needs to have a child. Why hasn't he ever??

[kore]

That was adorable!!!

His Top Gear appearance was great.

(But he still didn't beat Ewan's time! ;D)

I know IMDB has about a 45% accuracy rating, but a couple sources at Christopher Eccleston Info, are backing this up. If this is true, fangirly squeals that will make dogs strain to figure out what that sound is from will be coming from this general direction.
