The world of Doctor Who has changed greatly in the space of just 10 years. The cast and crew have almost completely been replaced since 2005, including a number of new actors to play the errant Time Lord and his companions.
But what has happened to the class of '05? Where are Rose and Mickey now? What is the writer of 'Dalek' up to? And where can you see more work from the director of 'Rose'?
Here it is then, your guide to the main players of Doctor Who series one.
The Cast
After his three-month on-screen stint as the Doctor, Christopher Eccleston's career continued in much the same vein, taking in theatre, interesting television roles and the odd blockbuster.
Post-2005, the Northern actor went Stateside to take on the role of invisible man Claude in the Us series Heroes. From there, he popped up in a very amusing Doctor Who-esque cameo as Dr.

A former deputy manager in Nasa's shuttle project office is claiming that the Science Channel's Challenger Disaster doesn't have its facts straight in advancing knowledge of the famous 1986 mission that resulted in the loss of seven crew members. Challenger Disaster premiered last November in the U.S. and starred William Hurt as Nobel Laureate physicist Richard Feynman, who became part of a Ronald Reagan-commissioned investigation of what went wrong. The telefilm became one of the most highly-rated programs in Science Channel's history. TV Review: The Challenger Disaster But in a defamation lawsuit filed last week in an

Days after The Science Channel premieres The Challenger Disaster - its first-ever dramatic feature film – many of its competitors on the cable dial will air countless hours of documentaries devoted to the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination. The anniversary will, of course, captivate audiences given this golden anniversary, but devotees of Kennedy conspiracy theories may want to devote some time toThe Challenger Disaster as well. Both events are in the “We All Remember Where We Were” category, and certainly Kennedy himself - the space program’s great champion - would want space enthusiasts to watch. And while Nasa/government bureaucracy may not sound as sexy as some of the theories behind Kennedy’s assassination, the movie does introduce us to some behind-the-scenes intrigue many of us haven’t thought about. Most think about the Jan. 28th, 1986 explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger as a great disaster, and anyone of...

The Challenger Disaster movie on Science Channel: Science Channel’s first dramatic feature dramatizes the inquiry into the cause of the 1986 space shuttle Challenger explosion through the eyes of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman (William Hurt). Feynman cut through red tape to uncover breakdowns in the governmental, scientific, design and engineering communities that oversaw the space program. The 1986 explosion of space shuttle Challenger and the loss of its crew is one of the indelible moments in American history — a sobering gut-punch to America’s space program and a disillusive lesson that the most complex machine ever built is still […]

Science Channel and BBC land William Hurt and other fine actors to make the space shuttle tragedy into a surprisingly solid biopic worth watching.
Everybody wants in the scripted game, but most firsts are painful lessons in just how hard it is to get fiction right. That first comedy is often lame. That first drama often pales in comparison to what’s already out there. Channels devoted to unscripted fare often find that diversifying their content is easier in concept than execution.
However, in something of a miracle or at least a wonderful surprise, the Science Channel, in association with the BBC, has delivered a little gem in The Challenger Disaster (Nov. 16, 9 p.m., also shown on Discovery).
The film flies on the back of William Hurt, who delivers yet another incredible performance, this time as the famous physicist, Nobel Prize-winning scientist Richard Feynman.
