FORMER Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston turned heroic tea drinker while working on cult sci-fi series Heroes. The Brit actor joined the BBC Two series as Claude, the Invisible Man when he left Doctor Who after only one series. And he admitted he loved his time on the American show. He said: "I was made welcome by that crew and that cast. "Being a Brit on that show, I've never been offered so many cups of tea in my life. "But you do, it's like you get lots of attention because you're different." "I think what interested me was, having made British television for, what, nearly 20 years now, I wanted to experience American television. "The process is different. Scripts are less tied down than the UK. "I thought Claude was a really interesting addition to that cast of characters, dropping a Brit in with a Japanese and the Haitian." While his time as the ninth Doctor was short and he's not saying whether he'll be back for series two of Heroes, the actor is a big draw in sci-fi.
