New Eccleston interview:

"In 2004, in me they picked yet another white skinny male to be the Doctor. If somebody had said in 2004 it should have been a woman, there'd have been outrage. But only 14 years later it's acceptable."
""I think it's time for white middle-aged males to step aside. And if Billie Piper ever wants to play the Doctor, I'll [be her companion]. Who wouldn't? I think that's what they should have done, I was saying backstage. Rose should have moved up to become the Doctor... but it was just too early."
This has to be fake. Surely?
