It was today announced by the BBC Press Office that Christopher Eccleston has signed up to appear in a major new BBC Four drama called Lennon Naked.

The Ninth Doctor actor is set to play the title character in the one-off 90-minute film, written by Robert Jones, which follows the life of the former Beatles singer between the years of 1967 to 1971.

“Securing Christopher Eccleston to play John Lennon is further testament to the calibre of drama on BBC Four,” said Controller of BBC Drama Commissioning, Ben Stephenson.

Naoko Mori, who played Toshiko Sato in Series 1 and 2 of Torchwood, will also be starring as Yoko Ono.
