That's priceless! 
"Eccleston has carved out a sort of career for himself after appearing in the landmark 37-part BBC drama London is Fucking Shit, before going on to star in a series of miserable Jimmy McGovern classics including Bastards and Why Won't it Stop Raining?."

Oh maketh me so mad I could crush a grape! (Hmm whatever happend to Stu Francis?)
