Christopher Eccleston IS John Lennon

Christopher Eccleston, The Ninth Doctor, is to star in Lennon Naked, a major one-off drama for BBC Four - see some footage from it HERE. The synopsis:

Lennon Naked charts his transition from "Beatle John" to enduring and enigmatic icon. It covers a period of wildly fluctuating fortunes from 1967-71; a time of worldwide adulation at one extreme, a combination of frustration and despair at the other.
