Doctor Who on "The Sarah Silverman Program"
On an upcoming episode of "Sarah Silverman," The Ninth Doctor himself, Christopher Eccleston, plays a Doctor Who-like character named Dr. Lazer Rage. I'm not always on board with Silverman, but this is a pretty good get.
The latest incarnation of the long-running sci-fi series started airing in its native Britain in 2005 (it's showing stateside, a few seasons behind, on BBC America) with Eccleston at the helm of the TARDIS. He and female companion Rose (Billie Piper) make a great team, and if you can get your hands on season one, watch it. Eccleston is replaced by David Tennant, The Tenth Doctor in season two. He's good, but not as good.
Which is all to say, it's awesome that Eccleston is on Sliverman's show.
