Shame

There are some despicable choices one can never really escape, no matter how hard you try.

Has former Doctor Who actor Christopher Eccleston hopped in the Tardis and gone back in time to rewrite his own history? The actor, who is currently starring in Antigone at the National Theatre, has a biography in the programme notes of the Greek drama that conspicuously fails to mention the show that brought him to wide public attention.

While listing his other theatrical and televisual achievements, Doctor Who, in which he starred for one series in 2005, is notably omitted. The National Theatre says it is not responsible.
