Eddie Izzard is the New Dr. Who???

I’m not sure how I feel about this. My nerd-geek side rejoices. My sophisticated high-culture “Izzard is the best comedian for overeducated smartasses like me” side is kind of squicked at the idea … like he’s slumming.

Hopefully the show will have better production values (and writing…and actors…etc.) than the previous incarnations.
