The ninth doctor is returning. Although Christopher Eccleston starred only in the same season of the BBC cult show, thanks to the fact that it was from him that the revival of the show began, he was very loved by fans. Yes, situations where the previous timers of time are returned to their role, very rare, but it turned out that it was Eccleston was lucky.

The actor will be the hero of the new Audio Big Finish Productions, which will include 12 episodes. Eccleston himself said that "he will be interested" to return to the role of 15 years later and again give life a character whom he "liked to play".
By the way, it is curious that the separation of Christopher with the BBC peaceful cannot be called in any way. In his autobiography, he admitted that during filming struggled with anorexia, and in the statement of the representatives of the channel it was said that the actor was "tired." According to Eccleston, this comment damaged his reputation and prevented important roles. However, the claims from Christopher were exclusively to representatives of the BBC, and the hostility to the doctor who did not experience the actor, at least so far and did not burn with the desire to return to the role.
