Christopher Eccleston’s Ninth Doctor Has Always Been Doctor Who’s Secret Weapon

New DVD release, , , , ,
Sometimes, impossible things just happen, and we call them miracles. Though that line may have been spoken by Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith in the Season 5 episode “The Pandorica Opens,” it has perhaps special relevance for Doctor Who fans right now, who are living through a moment most of us had given up hope on ever seeing. No, it’s not the fact that the Doctor is a woman now. (I’d like to believe we all knew that would eventually happen at some point, no matter how many folks resisted or complained about it.)

Christopher Eccleston on Why Doctor Who Canon Needs Exploding

New DVD release, , , , ,

Doctor Who: Christopher Eccleston Returns for Big Finish Audio Dramas

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The Ninth Doctor is coming back to the TARDIS, more than 15 years after Christopher Eccleston quit the newly revived Doctor Who after just one series in the lead role. BBC Studios and Big Finish have announced that Eccleston will lead the cast in a series of new audio adventures, the first volume of which is due to arrive in May 2021.  The behind-the-scenes difficulties that led to Eccleston’s exit from BBC One’s Doctor Who in 2005 are no secret, adding extra interest over the years to the regularly raised question of any potential return. Unlike his successor David Tennant, who returned alongside previous…
