- reincarnation -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jun 2, 09:17
- It can work both ways. If you do not like the a Dr, you know it is temporary. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 08:54
- The character is the same, the actor changes. The Doctor regenerates instead of dying - TWuG Jun 2, 07:05 21
  - So....why are these people jumping ship after such short time frames? - Will Hunting Jun 2, 07:08 20
    - part of it is the way British TV works...part of it is how the British acting world just is... - Remlik Jun 2, 07:59 2
      - And over there 3 twelve episode seasons seems to take 5 years. -- nm - Ender Jun 2, 11:58
      - I would also say that the BBC is also really cheap these past ten years when it comes to paying actors.... -- nm - Remlik Jun 2, 08:09
    - that's how the show has always worked. they move on between doctors. -- nm - loosi at home Jun 2, 07:16 1
      - None of the first 4 did less than 100 episodes. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 2, 10:31
    - Eccleston told the producers before hand that he was only doing 1 season -- nm - amoxy Jun 2, 07:12
    - Because they only have short contracts. And it's a good way to keep the show fresh. -- nm - TWuG Jun 2, 07:11 13
      - I'll disagree on the latter comment for any show. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 07:14 12
        
        it works for the show - it really does. - i.b! Jun 2, 12:12
        
        Doctor Who has been around a lot longer than this notion of epically long character arcs in TV -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 10:25 6
        
        But the short tenures of the actors only started in 1984. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 2, 10:36 5
        
        Yeah, but it seems to me Will is referring to a practice that more or less began with Sopranos and then Lost -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 10:51 4
        
        No, it's a practice that's pretty much how TV is here. You have a primary character and they stay on the show for years. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 11:19 3
        
        Dr. Who isn't a cable show in the UK -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 12:04
        
        The primary *character* has been on the show for 50 years. One of the character conceits is that he can regenerate to beat death. - TWuG Jun 2, 11:36 1
        
        Dr. Who isn't a cable show in the UK -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 12:04
        
        I woudl say there are two kinds of narrative arcs for the character... - Remlik Jun 2, 08:08
        
        Well, then it sounds like this show is not for you -- nm - amoxy Jun 2, 07:20
        
        40 episodes takes much longer on the BBC than in the US, so there's that. -- nm - loosi at home Jun 2, 07:18
        
        The regeneration plays into the story arcs. -- nm - TWuG Jun 2, 07:16
