Dr Who Meets the Original Time Lord, Albert Einstein

The Times: Reports on a new drama on Arthur Eddington ( David Tennant ) and Albert Einstein ( Andy Serkis), Eddington the man that made Albert Einstein famous. Its a nice cycle if you think about it, Einstein gave us the theory of relativity and from that we can postulate we get our favourite Time Lord. By the way sorry about the header, but could not help my self, not as bright as old Albert!


Update: Two words, Fantastic Drama. It shows why David Tennant is great as Dr Who, also why its sad that he is leaving but you can see why, he is a great actor, the combination of of DT and Andy Serkis made physics fun and interesting. One can Hollywood in the near future for DT. He had in many respects had the more challenging role, a repressed Edwardian not easy to play. Also someone who can see the future and its not Newton, also give it a World War One context even harder when the view he supports comes from a Swiss/German character. Both actors should be up for a Bafta for their roles. Also has the BBC considered Andy Serkis for Dr Who, would be different from DT but that's the point, he held is own and made a character that could not have gotten much sympathy very sympathetic. Also the 11 and 12 Dr Who are more darker characters. See Trial of a Time Lord.
