Clarifying that he didn't find the role or job itself too tiring but rather "working with Russell, and Phil and Julia", Eccleston added that although the BBC apologised for its actions following his exit, "it's not enough".
While Doctor Who fans may not get the chance to see Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor one final time, they can at least hear him, with the actor recently reprising his role for Big Finish audio series , The Ninth Doctor Adventures. Series 13 is due to premiere later this year. Type keyword s to search. However, the Ninth Doctor only remained on the show for one season, and his run is frequently overlooked by fans and casual viewers alike.
But the truth of the matter is that Eccleston had a fantastic run as the Ninth Doctor. The actor presented us with a unique take on the Time Lord and helped establish what the show would be from then on, turning Doctor Who into the beautiful, fun, and sometimes sad series we now know and love. When Christopher Eccleston first appeared on the screen, he immediately set himself apart from the Doctors that had come before him. Instead of distinctive clothes or a strange hairstyle, what fans saw was a man with a buzzcut wearing sober, dark clothing.
It seemed like a great change for a character that used to accessorize with a stalk of celery. It was a look that became Eccleston, an actor already well-known in the UK for playing serious, sombre roles. Minutes in, however, the Ninth Doctor already proved looks can be deceiving. After being attacked by mannequins and seeing her workplace explode, Rose returns home with a million questions in her head and a plastic arm in her hand. Luckily, the Doctor manages to deactivate the arm before it causes any real harm.
The statement had been made after journalists made queries to the press office. Eccleston's role as the Doctor was taken over by David Tennant at the end of the last episode of the series, The Parting of the Ways. On 11 June during a BBC radio interview, when asked if he had enjoyed working on Doctor Who , Eccleston responded by saying, "Mixed, but that's a long story.
In June it was announced at the Cannes Film Festival that Eccleston had signed to appear in a British-made sci-fi romantic comedy called Double Life , about a man who thinks he loves twin sisters. It was billed as "a tale of love and obsession" and would be set in Budapest.

In December , Eccleston travelled to Indonesia's Aceh province for the BBC Breakfast news programme, examining how survivors of the Boxing Day tsunami were rebuilding their lives. Directed by Bill Alexander, The School of Night was due to preview from 16 February but on 6 January , the production was cancelled without a full explanation.
In , Eccleston made arguably the highest-profile media appearances by a former Doctor actor to date by playing the villain Destro in the G. Joe feature film , which was followed a few months later by his appearance as navigator Fred Noonan opposite Hilary Swank in Amelia , a biographical film about Amelia Earhart. In , though approached with a chance to reprise his role in The Day of the Doctor , Christopher Eccleston turned down the offer to return for the fiftieth anniversary.
The original plan was for the Ninth Doctor to have been the one fighting the Time War, but since Eccleston turned down the offer showrunner Steven Moffat created the War Doctor character to take his place. The actor reprised his role on a number of audio dramas produced by Big Finish starting in , but Whovians will have to accept the fact that they are unlikely to see the Ninth Doctor appearing in any future BBC episodes of Doctor Who.
