He's MY doctor. I really enjoyed him, and I'm glad that he would still sign photos etc for it. Wouldn't really have expected that from him since he only did one season.
for the 50th Anniversary I would love a dialogue between 2 maybe 3 doctors, no sfx or complex plot, just a conservation or debate on how they see the universe from their point of time.
This cunter had no work in ages doctor who was a lifeline for him, so really he if he doesnt return even for a minute to show a bit of loyalty he will just prove the cunter he is.
I wanted to respond to this video but I made the mistake of reading the comments first. Please, let's agree to disagree, people! I dislike what the last two producers, Brannon and Bragga, did to Star Trek, but I know there are those out there that loved the stuff they did such as Enterprise. If you don't like the new series of D W then fine, but silly name calling will only make you look infantile. I'm sure you gentle folk are intelligent enough to shake hands...please?
hey chris eccleston, the only thing i disslike about your time on doctor who was how short it was. please come back for the 50th. even if just to see how the 9th doctor reacts to some of his other incarnations (i wonder what would happen if you put 9 and 11 in the same room...)
"Never bathe in the same waters twice" I had always read that, and thought it had some negative connotation behind it, comparing Doctor Who to dirty water. But that's not right at all.
@MattSmithIsCool100 Muppet could never come up with a decent script for McGann. Didn't you see the fool he made the 5th Doctor into? And 5 was supposedly his favourite :/
@LegoDaleks Whatever. I like both Nu Who and Old Who. Unlike you, I don't differentiate between them. And Moffat (get his name right) has been doing perfectly fine as show runner. At least now its not the soap opera it was with Russel T. Davies.
@MattSmithIsCool100 Dude if the BBC hadn't announced it no one would see a difference between the ReTarD reign of terror & Muppet's continuation. 11th Hour is just as crap as End of Time. The only changes Muppet made were either arbitrary (teletubbie-daleks) or superficial (now his wand is green instead of blue). Rory is Mickey, River Song is Captain Jack, the teenage Doctard with his magic wand is hardly any different from Casanova. It's MORE like a soap - whole seasons are linked together now
@LegoDaleks If you equally dislike both RTD and SM, then how come I could only find piss-takes of SM when I looked at your channel? You're entitled to your opinion, but its people like you who ruin my enjoyment of the show.
@MattSmithIsCool100 Actually it's ReTarD&Muppet supporters like yourself who ruin my enjoyment of DW.
ReTarD's reign of terror was bad enough, it had all his traits. ReTarD is obsessed with TV especially cartoons & soap operas, he's obsessed with sex & gays & he has a gigantic ego. All those things are present in Nu-hu. We should have been rid of that garbage once ReTarD left, but Muppet made it his job to preserve it in it's entirety. He hasn't the balls to make changes like ReTarD did.
@LegoDaleks I'm not trying to say Nu-Hu doesn't have problems, but come on, at least its given us some fantastic episodes like "The Empty Child," "Blink," "Midnight," "Vincent and the Doctor," "The Doctor's Wife" and "The Girl who Waited." Although the stuff with Rose in season 2 did get on my nerves. And by the way, you didn't answer my last question.
@MattSmithIsCool100 The flaws are limitless, it's retrograde, ever aspect of production is sub-stasndard. Empty Child & Blink could have been good if they had been script edited. Midnight could have been good if the Dr had been played by an actor. Vincent&theDr was a ludicrous tale about a cgi chicken & the Dr changing history without history changing. In Beast Below he gives Amy a lecture about not interfering & by the end of the season "time can be re-written" is a catchphrase. No continuity
@LegoDaleks Okay, is this gonna be one of these pointless YouTube arguements where I ask you a question that you will never answer, and you end up banging on about the same stuff over and over again on a video that has almost nothing to do with it? If so, then let said question remain unanswered whilst I waste my life replying to your pointless comments about some people whose names you can't even be bothered to get right.
@LegoDaleks My question was: if you equally dislike RTD and SM, then why could I only find piss-takes of SM's first series when I looked at your channel? Sorry if this is an anti climax for you, but you could have looked at my previous comments.
@MattSmithIsCool100 I already answered that question. Muppet being exactly like ReTarD makes him a hundred times worse. If he had done like ReTarD & ignored what had been done in the past & just did his own thing that would have been a lot better. Nu-hu just had ReTarD's aforementioned traits, so why is Nu-hu still the same even after ReTarD left? Because Muppet hasn't the balls that ReTarD had. A new decade, a new Doctor, but it's the same old sh!t. 'Victory' was what 'inspired' my piss-takes
@MattSmithIsCool100 Best thing you can do with this idiot. Seriously. Every Doctor Who vid I see this fool is on bitching about this and that. "Fangirls in my fandom. Oh noes!" Shit like that. He told me once he stopped watching the new stuff, but it hasn't stopped him from hanging around the place bitching. I think he's really just a troll that likes to piss on people's enjoyment of a good show.
@LegoDaleks lol wow, you seem really pissed about everything to do with Doctor Who the new series. It's honestly funny to see you steam over the continuity of a show about time travel. TIME TRAVEL! hahaha XD
@jackofblades6262 Time travel doesn't excuse turning an infinitely wise, ancient alien into an irrational, immature, over-emotional teenager. You can say TIME TRAVEL all you like, that won't stop ReTarD & Muppet from being hacks.
@LegoDaleks Well, I'm not arguing the point that time travel excuses how the actor's decide to portray the Doctor. What I am saying is continuity doesn't really mean much in this show and never has. An example is the sonic screwdriver was a tool invented for the Doctor so the writers could use it as a fall back for escaping random situations. Which is funny seeing how it's become such a staple of the show. Then "Deadlocking" things so it didn't work for convenient suspense.
@jackofblades6262 The sonic screwdriver is just more proof how inept the hacks of Nu-hu are. They've virtually turned it into a magic wand. In the original DW all it could do was unlock electronic doors & sometimes not even that, then it was destroyed during the 5th Dr & never returned. There was lots of continuity in DW for 26 years even without DVD's or the internet & it kept changing hands. Nu-hu is written by so-called fans, mainly just 1 guy & he can't even keep continuity in his own eps
@LegoDaleks It's always been a magic wand, and it did much more than open electronic doors. It's always been a tool for the writers to be lazy. Originally they called regenerating renewal and it worked a bit different. That changed from 1st to 2nd Doctor. Also he was originally known as Doctor Who not just The Doctor. These changes were made with no in story reason, everyone just accepted the change. The show has always had continuity errors and always will. Sorry.
@jackofblades6262 It's like you've never watched DW. They never called him 'Doctor Who' ever. Calling regeneration 'renewal' isn't a continuity error. There were some continuity errors in the original DW but that was mainly due to the fact that they didn't have DVD's or the internet & it was always changing hands. Nowadays it's always the same guys & they are supposedly fans, with all of DW history at their fingertips, yet there are FAR more, MUCH larger continuity errors in Nu-hu than DW. Sorry
@jackofblades6262 (continued) The sonic was never a magic wand in the original series. In Nu-hu he wipes it out EVERY episode, in DW he hardly ever used it. It was never used out of laziness on the writers part in DW. Anyway it was destroyed in 'The Visitation' & NEVER returned. Every time it turns up in Nu-hu it gets a new ability. Just look up sonic screwdriver on Wikipedia, then you'll see how it's changed into an all-purpose wand.
@LegoDaleks Well I am too lazy to back up anything I said I was just going off of memory from a very long time ago, so for all I know I remembered it all wrong. So I'll just say you are completely right and I am completely wrong. Maybe I should go back and watch them. Who is your favorite old who doctor?
@LegoDaleks Yes Doctor Who is the name of the Show. My question was only directed at the old series as opposed to the new series thus the specification.
@jackofblades6262 I'm not being hypocritical. ReTarD is shorter to type than: Russell T. Davies the soap opera-loving, TV & sex-obsessed, childish, egotistical, ignorant, incompetent, talentless, tyrannical, fat-headed freak.
Typing ReTarD makes it known who I'm talking about & how I feel about him.
What exactly are you on about anyway? There was no need to specify which series as my answer would have been the same either way. What does that have to do with calling things correctly?
@LegoDaleks You are making a mountain out of a mole hill, on the basis that I didn't use the correct term. You are being hypocritical because you don't bother to call people by their real names. Doesn't matter what you think of them. You crave arguments I think.
@jackofblades6262 "you crave arguments" just what I think of you. Just where did THIS argument come from? Out of the blue you start calling me a hypocrite, I already explained why I call them ReTarD & Muppet.
You said old-who, but that isn't correct since it was Doctor Who in 2004 & then it didn't just suddenly become old-who in 2005 now did it? And actually I'm not the one making a mountain out of a molehill, I only corrected you. Now YOU are the one making a big deal out of that correction.
@LegoDaleks No no no, I am merely trying to point out that if you can indeed call people however you like, then I should be able to call the older series of the show how I like. Problem?
@jackofblades6262 I already explained why I call them ReTarD & Muppet & I've already explained that I already explained why I call them ReTarD & Muppet, that has nothing to do with what you said or the reasons I corrected you, so that means that I'm not being hypocritical.
@LegoDaleks LOOOOOOL what? whaaat? irrelevant. Everything you just typed, irrelevant. You are funny good sir, very funny. Please keep responding. I wonder what crazy thing you'll say next :D
@jackofblades6262 I odn't think he's really been watching it. I've gotten copies of the old stuff and have been watching it non stop for months now. Things do change constantly. Every actor plays him there own way. Production values were very low in the beginning. They once had bubble wrap aliens for god's sake. In fact production values are better now than they ever were. But you can't argue with people who don't want to see.
@LegoDaleks I want to make it clear I am not trying to stand in the way of you telling people on here about how bad the new series is. What I am trying to say is the series has always been kinda bad. The thing is I love Doctor Who because it's so silly and fantastical and doesn't make any sense. I enjoy all the Doctors honestly, but not because I think the show is a master piece or something great, I see the whole series as a huge sci fi joke. Maybe I love it for the wrong reason?lol
@iammadness Yes! agreed! I would love to see them bring back 6 as well. the BBC owes it to him!! after the way they treated him and the fact that to this day he is still one of the shows biggest ambassadors!!
Just bring 8,9,10 and we're good. Oh, and show the 8th regeneration and why regeneration changed to a fire ending! So more of the time war, 8 changes....9 is just there, in despair about the time war, when suddenly 11 shows up! And they go and do something important and then.....OMG IT'S 10. And pretty much all hell breaks loose with the first question and blah blah blah and then somehow at the ending 9 and 10's memories are wiped of meeting their future selves.
People say they want to see all 11 Doctors interacting with one another for the 50th Anniversary episode special. What I say; show us what we've never seen and do a flashback to the time war and show Paul McGann once again as the Doctor, then half way through or near the end when he has to end it all, he gets killed and has to regenerate into Christopher Eccleston. This idea would let us see more of the two of them, and it would be FANTASTIC! They both deserve to play the part one more time :)
@Samuel24842 Completely agree!! But Eccleston probably wont do it. I would have loved to see Billie Piper/Rose meet Ecclestone's Doctor one last time and just about go to pieces! This would be very moving, especially if he said; "Don't look back, my Rose; only forwards. He (Tennant/human Doc) needs you!" The other surviving Docs could all be there and their older appearances could be explained as the ONLY way they could look so as to "not violate causality" or somesuch.
@MattBlak1 thank you and to all the people wanting to see all 11 Doctors, come on lets be honest, it would be a cheap explanation and if not then it's gonna be too complicated and also 3 of them have already passed away and Eccleston even said he wouldn't come back so it won't happen. Though it would be cool to see previous Doctor actors playing minor characters. Still because Paul and Chris had the shortest time playing the parts, I would love to see them return for a Time War episode :)
@Samuel24842 Agreed. Although the BBC has many choices, the 2 most popular would be either a story bringing together all the Doctor-Actors (like 1983's The 5 Doctors) or the Time War with McGann & Eccleston, which would be MY choice: only have the 11th Doc Matt Smith there remembering it as a somber flashback. The BBC should do it as either a 3-parter OR a 2-part 90-minute each mini-series. I met McGann last year here in New Zealand and put the idea to him - he seemed to genuinely like it!!
@MattBlak1 yeah I've seen interviews of him discussing his role as the Doctor and he always speaks very positively about it and always seems eager to take up the role again, and you met him? how exciting :D But yes Matt should be in it at the very beginning then it eventually becomes a flashback to Paul McGann etc. One thing is that if they DO do the 5 or so Doctors, I can imagine them spotlighting tennant too much, which I don't want after they made his regeneration so obviously the best one
@Samuel24842 McGann & Sylvester were at the 2010 Armageddon Expo N.Z. Both lovely blokes & Paul still looked youthful! Spoke to Pertwee by phone in 1976 but sadly never met him. Met both Bakers: Tom was nice but rather eccentric. I was Colin's 'minder' during an Armageddon. He and Katy Manning were my charges and both couldn't be nicer! Would love to meet someday Davison, Eccleston & Tennant to talk purely about acting. Troughton & Pertwee were my favourites. Matt Smith is slowly growing on me.
@MattBlak1 wow I havn't met any haha, what with being in England I can never come to any comic cons or other places where all the doctor actors meet for fan service. I do love Matt Smith as the Doctor, though I DO think people will start to think more of him when the stories give him more emotional range to do, but not AS much as Tennants because I liked him but sometimes he cried just a few too many times for me. But in the Doctor's wife, Matt showed that he could do a wide range of emotions
@Samuel24842 Who the heck is flagging Samuel's comments as spam?! Stop that, whoever that is!! Its nice to see some YouTube discussion for change that aren't threats and swearing! Too many angry people here at times. All over the web, really.
@MattBlak1 thank you about the spam things, some people need to accept that other people have different views but not force them on each other. Anyway about the RTD era getting a bit too End of everything, I agree. In my view 'The End of Time' was the most he tried to force everything epic of all epic things into the ep, like I mean I'm always welcome to see the Master return after John Simm really made me love the character, but the explanations were like saying "A wizard did it"(continue....
@Samuel24842 Tennant was very good but I sometimes found him to be a bit over the top, potentially hammy. I hope they give Matt Smith some better scripts the next couple of seasons, because I feel there's been a bit too much winking at the audience and a little silliness. Moffat has to lift the game a bit. Though some feel that the Davies era had too many "end of the universe and reality itself O.T.T. moments. Dr Who must balance being hard-edged Sci-Fi & a family show. Very difficult, I know
@MattBlak1 ...continued) and I mean he came back with what seemed like witch magic, then for some reason had Super Powers?? I get the they couldn't do the Daleks again because wow were they overused by the end of his era. So he thought lets bring back the master, but last time he already took over the world, so this has to be MORE epic, so he'll make everyone...himself...like everyone in the world is now the master...ok??....By the way the Time Lords have returned...THIS IS TOO MUCH
@Samuel24842 I respect your opinion, but I felt 'The End of Time' was a great, great episode. I particularly enjoyed the final 10 minutes or so when he said goodbye to the compaions, especially Rose. David's regeneration was also very cool. I'm a man, and I cried during that scene, I don't care to say it one bit. I watched DW as a kid with Tom Baker but stopped during my teens. I'm 31 now and I got back into when David came on. I like Matt, but no longer watch every new episode anymore.
@nWo24life I can completely understand your side. There are a lot of fans unlike yourself who shout and insult other people with different views, you on the other hand clearly show some civil argument towards my points, which is always welcome :) And I can see how some people thought the episode was great, just I couldn't enjoy it because to me, it felt like it was to obviously trying to be the best ever episode. Still it had good moments and bad, just like any other episode :)
@Samuel24842 Why would you want to see the sad-excuse for a war in which nobody dies? ReTarD made us all think that the timewar was a big deal, but in End of Time it turns out that more timelords came to life than died in the "war" (Rassilon & the Master).
Anyway, they can't show the regeneration from 8 to "9" because it never happened. Didn't you know(?) the Doctard in Nu-hu is just a teenage timetot with an identity crisis.
With all due respect to Eccleston, he really should get off his high horse and do the 50th Anniversary. It'll be a one-off, and there's no way it'll hurt his career. And as someone else has said, he is taking it way too seriously. It's just a TV show, not life and death!
How sad that he doesn't want to take the part up again, it would've been so lovely,oh I do hope that maybe he will in 10 years or so, like Peter Davison in Time Crash :3
'Flogging it for themselves'? He's acting like the writers are really selfish not donating the money to charity. I know Eccleston, why don't you play every part giving your earnings to charity?! No! It's a stupid thing to do, and it's not like you wouldn't earn any money yourself you could give to charity if you cared so much! I'm sorry, but he's talking garbage. Also he forgets how DW fans will be disappointed. Alright then, Mr Modern John Lennon's got a little bit big-headed. Very silly man!
@rlop101010 Don't call me a 'dumbass' cos it's rude. And if you know what your talking about explain yourself, cos until you come up with a valid point I don't really care .
@MrBronwaugh Here's a clue, watch the whole video. If you won't, here is the exact quote, "But I'll sign anything you like, honest."
"Oh yeah, so are you good about all that?"
"Oh yeah, yeah. As long as they don't want me to sign six because they're going to sell them for profit because the thing is, your signature on a doctor who thing can really benefit charities, but if people are just flogging it for their own gain, no, I won't, because that's in the benefit of charity."
@rlop101010 This sentence still is very hard to understand because yes, you are correct - I am a 'dumbass lackwit moron' as you so intelligently put it. Please care to explain - I am of course an utter 'twat'. But it would be in my benefit to see why that sentence doesn't imply he would only return to Doctor Who if his acting in the show 'benefits charities' instead of himself. I'm saying, it's not in their interest to give everything to 'charities', and you could do that with your own earnings!
@MrBronwaugh I would first like to thank you for proving my point for me. If you would care to watch the video or read my comment, you would clearly see that he is talking about signing things for people. He is not saying that he would only come back if it would benefit charity, but that he doesn't sign a ton of stuff for people so that they can turn around and sell his signatures. He doesn't even have to be talking about charities, he could be talking about charity. Look it up.
@rlop101010 Your point is perfectly valid, it may be right. The only problem I had was your obviously quite nasty way of putting it across. The mere fact is, he won't go on Doctor Who unless someone doesn't give the earnings to charity. I was there. I heard what he said. You are alone thinking that he could be talking about a less obvious mean of charity (kindness in judging others) since that doesn't make much sense in context. The fact is the whole business of acting is a two way system...
@rlop101010 You earn a certain amount of money for your role as do the other people who wrote the show or produced it, making sense so far? So it seems silly that he refuses to go on Doctor Who because other people might 'sell his signature' because he would clearly be earning money and contributing towards good television (don't argue that DW isn't) that fans of the show will love. It's that simple. And Christopher Eccleston does have a weird way of looking at it, it's just television!
@rlop101010 So you see, I congratulate you thoroughly on your insistency to be rude or as you would put it, 'correct' to people on the internet who simply have a point to make. Of course it's within your own right since I clearly haven't understood basic English, I also shout at people on the internet with that defect - recently a young dyslexic boy sued me.
@MrBronwaugh So you see, you are in fact, a dumbass, a lackwit, a moron due to your apparent inability to understand basic English. You act like I am being rude, but that is still much better than what you did, which was being rude, wrong, and stupid.
It's a shame to imagine a 50th aniversary special without him. Even a little cameo, maybe showing the eighth regeneration in the end. I think he did a great job as the Doctor, my only complaints about his time on the show were with the writers, because even in the episodes I found a bit boring or silly, the ones with the Slitheen, for exemple, his performance was very good.
I think it would be excellent to see him return after all he only did one series, chances like this don't come around often (second chances to play a past away incarnation of the Doctor I mean)
Why 'help' the series then 'screw' with it by not coming back for the 50th!?! And with Doctor Who, it's not like you are 'bathing in the same river twice' - cause once you are a Doctor - you are ALWAYS a Doctor.
Eccelston, don't be an idiot. You have fans a plenty and the biggest charity you could ever do to the world would be going in for the 50th anniversary. You will hate yourself for the rest of your life if you don't.
still have It would be 'Fantastic' indeed if Christopher Eccleston does the 50th Anniversary Special Doctor Who Special and not do a Tom Baker with the 20th Anniversary special-The Five Doctors..Still have a High esteem for Chris' Doctor No 9 with the return of the show in 2005, as his Doctor was intense but funny too and a good believability for this sort of series
I believe they are holding back to surprise us for the anniversary. Here what I reckon would be good for the 50th anniversary, a rerun of old episodes, 2 or 3 eps a day for each doctor, so Monday 2 eps from the hartnell years, tuesday 2 eps from the troughhton era and so until you get to the new episodes and the new eps somehow connect the old episodes together in a way and the special brings together a few of the doctors.. somehow. Just an idea
It's a shame that Eccleston won't come back. I firmly believe that the show wouldn't have gotten back on track without him. His jolt of energy enabled David Tennant and then Matt Smith to keep the fire going. On the other hand, I respect his decision unswervingly. He will always be one of my favorites.
Well, there is a chance he would do the 50th, if and only if it was done for charity. What a way to do it. It would really go off, if the Moff would do the 50th as a charity. I don't know how, but it could be done :)
@topliff12345 Oh I'm in the same Tardis there, totally agree with you. So many fans out there are almost begging for the biggest moment in Dr Who history, with 9,10 and 11 in the one story. It would simply go off.
Ok, so Chris it out. David will probably do something. Tom might. Paul won't. Jon's dead. There's no time differential big enough to explain how Colin looks now. Sly definitely would. Peter would if pushed. Pat and Billy are dead. Matt's under contract.
I understand and respect Christopher Ecclestons reasons for not wanting to return to Doctor Who but in all honesty I wish he would. Christopher Eccleston brought something unique to Doctor Who, a depth of charater if you will, that no other actor has been able to bring to the role. I would love to see his character interact with the other Doctors.
Oh come ON Chris, think about how awesome it would be if you came back! And it's not like you'll be asked to do this ever again. Maybe for, like, a 75th anniversary or something, but probably not, there will be a lot of time between now and then. The show could have ended (again) by then! Come on, just a little appearance, pretty please???
I know he won't actually read this, but if he does, there's my plea.
C'mon Chris!! You're my favorite Doctor! No one's asking you to do an entire series or anything. Just pop in for a historical (and very high profile) moment for Britain's most iconic modern character, aaaand you get paid for doing it! We're happy, you're happy...everybody's happy! Fantastic!!
hopefully all the former Doctor actors will avoid anything to do with the crappy worthless so-called 50th anniversary special that will in reality have less to do with celebrating all that is dr who and more to do with Moffat throwing himself a great big tribute.
Oh god I want him to do it so much :( it'll only be for a 2 parter I imagine, and its not like he'll be the lead, he'll be the JOINT lead, so its not even a mega amount of work. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!
darn!!! the 50th anniversary would have been amazing with the three modern doctors together!!! cris david and matt all acting along side each other would have blown my mind!
I was wondering what he meant by "I'll sign anything". This could indicate they have some unused footage that could be fit in to the anniversary or perhaps used as the tail end of an 8th Doctor movie showing him regenerating.
0:35 Well, it was like a cheap version of "Left Behind" which was a cheap version of "Da Vinci Code" and they were all hackneyed cash-ins on a topical theme in, what, the late 90s? So I wouldn't boast too much about it unless you hang around new age retro hippies a lot.
0:49 Yeah, cause "Queer As Folk" sounds like some kind of generic kitschy BBC sexploitation sitcom like Skins, so it's a surprise to have something of dramatic QUALITY like Doctor Who in the same sentence.
I think he should re-considers what he is saying, because everyone wants to see this "Time War" where Paul McGann turns into Christopher Eccleston, Paul McGann said that the bbc hasn't approched him, but he is willing to play the part, but you have Eccleston saying, "he won't bath in the same river twice.", he's pretty much dispointed the "who" fans for his own stubbish if you think about it.
Eccleston was not my favorite doctor; that spot is reserved for David Tennant <3
However, I was a little disappointed that he did only one season. I always felt that was odd, and that there must be something going on. After listening to this, I understand why he didn't go for another season.
Here are my 2 choices to be the 12th Doctor 1). Steve Valentine from Crossing Jordan & Estate of Panic. 2). Henry Ian Cusick from Lost. Either one would be better then Matt Smith In my opinion. Please check out both of their acting styles before you choose. Leave a comment with your thoughts! P.S Henry's always running In lost and has a bit of Tennant style mixed with Paul Mcgann!
@TheMorrochben If not, we could have Julian Richings stand in as the 1st Doctor (as he looks a lot like Hartnell, and carries the same air of seriousness about him), David Troughton could stand in for his father, and I can't think of anyone who can take Jon Pertwee's place (right now, anyway but in 20 mins or so I'll think of someone)
I think a more logical stand-in for the 1st doctor would be David Warner. It would make perfect sense given that he's already played the doctor in an audio play and he looks very much like William Hartnell.
I wish eccleston hadnt played dr who then i wouldnt have had to buy the box set with him in it but to complete the series of box sets from when it started back till now i had to!! I think hes self absorbed in his own arrogans!! there are many actors who would kill for that part (excuse the pun)
I wish he would at /least/ do a proper regeneration scene, perhaps in the inevitable time war miniseries everybody seems to want

@LegoDaleks Whatever. I like both Nu Who and Old Who. Unlike you, I don't differentiate between them. And Moffat (get his name right) has been doing perfectly fine as show runner. At least now its not the soap opera it was with Russel T. Davies.
MattSmithIsCool100 3 weeks ago
@MattSmithIsCool100 Dude if the BBC hadn't announced it no one would see a difference between the ReTarD reign of terror & Muppet's continuation. 11th Hour is just as crap as End of Time. The only changes Muppet made were either arbitrary (teletubbie-daleks) or superficial (now his wand is green instead of blue). Rory is Mickey, River Song is Captain Jack, the teenage Doctard with his magic wand is hardly any different from Casanova. It's MORE like a soap - whole seasons are linked together now

MattSmithIsCool100 3 weeks ago
@MattSmithIsCool100 Actually it's ReTarD&Muppet supporters like yourself who ruin my enjoyment of DW.
ReTarD's reign of terror was bad enough, it had all his traits. ReTarD is obsessed with TV especially cartoons & soap operas, he's obsessed with sex & gays & he has a gigantic ego. All those things are present in Nu-hu. We should have been rid of that garbage once ReTarD left, but Muppet made it his job to preserve it in it's entirety. He hasn't the balls to make changes like ReTarD did.
LegoDaleks 3 weeks ago
@LegoDaleks I'm not trying to say Nu-Hu doesn't have problems, but come on, at least its given us some fantastic episodes like "The Empty Child," "Blink," "Midnight," "Vincent and the Doctor," "The Doctor's Wife" and "The Girl who Waited." Although the stuff with Rose in season 2 did get on my nerves. And by the way, you didn't answer my last question.
MattSmithIsCool100 3 weeks ago
@MattSmithIsCool100 The flaws are limitless, it's retrograde, ever aspect of production is sub-stasndard. Empty Child & Blink could have been good if they had been script edited. Midnight could have been good if the Dr had been played by an actor. Vincent&theDr was a ludicrous tale about a cgi chicken & the Dr changing history without history changing. In Beast Below he gives Amy a lecture about not interfering & by the end of the season "time can be re-written" is a catchphrase. No continuity

@MattSmithIsCool100 I already answered that question. Muppet being exactly like ReTarD makes him a hundred times worse. If he had done like ReTarD & ignored what had been done in the past & just did his own thing that would have been a lot better. Nu-hu just had ReTarD's aforementioned traits, so why is Nu-hu still the same even after ReTarD left? Because Muppet hasn't the balls that ReTarD had. A new decade, a new Doctor, but it's the same old sh!t. 'Victory' was what 'inspired' my piss-takes

chaoticprime 2 weeks ago
@LegoDaleks Well, I'm not arguing the point that time travel excuses how the actor's decide to portray the Doctor. What I am saying is continuity doesn't really mean much in this show and never has. An example is the sonic screwdriver was a tool invented for the Doctor so the writers could use it as a fall back for escaping random situations. Which is funny seeing how it's become such a staple of the show. Then "Deadlocking" things so it didn't work for convenient suspense.
jackofblades6262 2 weeks ago
@jackofblades6262 The sonic screwdriver is just more proof how inept the hacks of Nu-hu are. They've virtually turned it into a magic wand. In the original DW all it could do was unlock electronic doors & sometimes not even that, then it was destroyed during the 5th Dr & never returned. There was lots of continuity in DW for 26 years even without DVD's or the internet & it kept changing hands. Nu-hu is written by so-called fans, mainly just 1 guy & he can't even keep continuity in his own eps
LegoDaleks 2 weeks ago
@LegoDaleks It's always been a magic wand, and it did much more than open electronic doors. It's always been a tool for the writers to be lazy. Originally they called regenerating renewal and it worked a bit different. That changed from 1st to 2nd Doctor. Also he was originally known as Doctor Who not just The Doctor. These changes were made with no in story reason, everyone just accepted the change. The show has always had continuity errors and always will. Sorry.
jackofblades6262 2 weeks ago
@jackofblades6262 It's like you've never watched DW. They never called him 'Doctor Who' ever. Calling regeneration 'renewal' isn't a continuity error. There were some continuity errors in the original DW but that was mainly due to the fact that they didn't have DVD's or the internet & it was always changing hands. Nowadays it's always the same guys & they are supposedly fans, with all of DW history at their fingertips, yet there are FAR more, MUCH larger continuity errors in Nu-hu than DW. Sorry
LegoDaleks 2 weeks ago
@jackofblades6262 (continued) The sonic was never a magic wand in the original series. In Nu-hu he wipes it out EVERY episode, in DW he hardly ever used it. It was never used out of laziness on the writers part in DW. Anyway it was destroyed in 'The Visitation' & NEVER returned. Every time it turns up in Nu-hu it gets a new ability. Just look up sonic screwdriver on Wikipedia, then you'll see how it's changed into an all-purpose wand.

@jackofblades6262 I'm not being hypocritical. ReTarD is shorter to type than: Russell T. Davies the soap opera-loving, TV & sex-obsessed, childish, egotistical, ignorant, incompetent, talentless, tyrannical, fat-headed freak.
Typing ReTarD makes it known who I'm talking about & how I feel about him.
What exactly are you on about anyway? There was no need to specify which series as my answer would have been the same either way. What does that have to do with calling things correctly?

@jackofblades6262 "you crave arguments" just what I think of you. Just where did THIS argument come from? Out of the blue you start calling me a hypocrite, I already explained why I call them ReTarD & Muppet.
You said old-who, but that isn't correct since it was Doctor Who in 2004 & then it didn't just suddenly become old-who in 2005 now did it? And actually I'm not the one making a mountain out of a molehill, I only corrected you. Now YOU are the one making a big deal out of that correction.

People say they want to see all 11 Doctors interacting with one another for the 50th Anniversary episode special. What I say; show us what we've never seen and do a flashback to the time war and show Paul McGann once again as the Doctor, then half way through or near the end when he has to end it all, he gets killed and has to regenerate into Christopher Eccleston. This idea would let us see more of the two of them, and it would be FANTASTIC! They both deserve to play the part one more time :)
Samuel24842 1 month ago 86
@Samuel24842 Completely agree!! But Eccleston probably wont do it. I would have loved to see Billie Piper/Rose meet Ecclestone's Doctor one last time and just about go to pieces! This would be very moving, especially if he said; "Don't look back, my Rose; only forwards. He (Tennant/human Doc) needs you!" The other surviving Docs could all be there and their older appearances could be explained as the ONLY way they could look so as to "not violate causality" or somesuch.

@MattBlak1 thank you and to all the people wanting to see all 11 Doctors, come on lets be honest, it would be a cheap explanation and if not then it's gonna be too complicated and also 3 of them have already passed away and Eccleston even said he wouldn't come back so it won't happen. Though it would be cool to see previous Doctor actors playing minor characters. Still because Paul and Chris had the shortest time playing the parts, I would love to see them return for a Time War episode :)
Samuel24842 1 month ago
@Samuel24842 Agreed. Although the BBC has many choices, the 2 most popular would be either a story bringing together all the Doctor-Actors (like 1983's The 5 Doctors) or the Time War with McGann & Eccleston, which would be MY choice: only have the 11th Doc Matt Smith there remembering it as a somber flashback. The BBC should do it as either a 3-parter OR a 2-part 90-minute each mini-series. I met McGann last year here in New Zealand and put the idea to him - he seemed to genuinely like it!!
MattBlak1 1 month ago
@MattBlak1 yeah I've seen interviews of him discussing his role as the Doctor and he always speaks very positively about it and always seems eager to take up the role again, and you met him? how exciting :D But yes Matt should be in it at the very beginning then it eventually becomes a flashback to Paul McGann etc. One thing is that if they DO do the 5 or so Doctors, I can imagine them spotlighting tennant too much, which I don't want after they made his regeneration so obviously the best one

rlop101010 1 month ago
@rlop101010 Your point is perfectly valid, it may be right. The only problem I had was your obviously quite nasty way of putting it across. The mere fact is, he won't go on Doctor Who unless someone doesn't give the earnings to charity. I was there. I heard what he said. You are alone thinking that he could be talking about a less obvious mean of charity (kindness in judging others) since that doesn't make much sense in context. The fact is the whole business of acting is a two way system...

@rlop101010 You earn a certain amount of money for your role as do the other people who wrote the show or produced it, making sense so far? So it seems silly that he refuses to go on Doctor Who because other people might 'sell his signature' because he would clearly be earning money and contributing towards good television (don't argue that DW isn't) that fans of the show will love. It's that simple. And Christopher Eccleston does have a weird way of looking at it, it's just television!

Eccelston, don't be an idiot. You have fans a plenty and the biggest charity you could ever do to the world would be going in for the 50th anniversary. You will hate yourself for the rest of your life if you don't.

Christopher played my favourite Doctor of all time - I'll always be thankful to him for that :) He was indeed fantastic.
witchywoman2008 2 months ago
still have It would be 'Fantastic' indeed if Christopher Eccleston does the 50th Anniversary Special Doctor Who Special and not do a Tom Baker with the 20th Anniversary special-The Five Doctors..Still have a High esteem for Chris' Doctor No 9 with the return of the show in 2005, as his Doctor was intense but funny too and a good believability for this sort of series

I believe they are holding back to surprise us for the anniversary. Here what I reckon would be good for the 50th anniversary, a rerun of old episodes, 2 or 3 eps a day for each doctor, so Monday 2 eps from the hartnell years, tuesday 2 eps from the troughhton era and so until you get to the new episodes and the new eps somehow connect the old episodes together in a way and the special brings together a few of the doctors.. somehow. Just an idea

It's a shame that Eccleston won't come back. I firmly believe that the show wouldn't have gotten back on track without him. His jolt of energy enabled David Tennant and then Matt Smith to keep the fire going. On the other hand, I respect his decision unswervingly. He will always be one of my favorites.

Well, there is a chance he would do the 50th, if and only if it was done for charity. What a way to do it. It would really go off, if the Moff would do the 50th as a charity. I don't know how, but it could be done :)

@TheD0CT0RWH0fan, Definitely, anything that would persuade Eccleston to come back for the special should be considered.
Just the thought of 9,10 and 11 acting together gives me chills....

@topliff12345 I know, 9 being all serious and dark, with 11 being all hyperactive and using long words, then 10 just being... well... 10.

@topliff12345 Oh I'm in the same Tardis there, totally agree with you. So many fans out there are almost begging for the biggest moment in Dr Who history, with 9,10 and 11 in the one story. It would simply go off.

God I want him to come back for the anniversary. Just imagine 9, 10 and 11 working together. Especially since 11 has a new TARDIS and screwdriver! XD

Ok, so Chris it out. David will probably do something. Tom might. Paul won't. Jon's dead. There's no time differential big enough to explain how Colin looks now. Sly definitely would. Peter would if pushed. Pat and Billy are dead. Matt's under contract.

He's not talking about the 50th Anniversary though is he? It would be more accurate to say he was talking about returning to the role (inter alia).

I understand and respect Christopher Ecclestons reasons for not wanting to return to Doctor Who but in all honesty I wish he would. Christopher Eccleston brought something unique to Doctor Who, a depth of charater if you will, that no other actor has been able to bring to the role. I would love to see his character interact with the other Doctors.

Oh come ON Chris, think about how awesome it would be if you came back! And it's not like you'll be asked to do this ever again. Maybe for, like, a 75th anniversary or something, but probably not, there will be a lot of time between now and then. The show could have ended (again) by then! Come on, just a little appearance, pretty please???
I know he won't actually read this, but if he does, there's my plea.

How about the BBC donates to a certain charity if Eccleston comes back?

Just a thought.

C'mon Chris!! You're my favorite Doctor! No one's asking you to do an entire series or anything. Just pop in for a historical (and very high profile) moment for Britain's most iconic modern character, aaaand you get paid for doing it! We're happy, you're happy...everybody's happy! Fantastic!!

hopefully all the former Doctor actors will avoid anything to do with the crappy worthless so-called 50th anniversary special that will in reality have less to do with celebrating all that is dr who and more to do with Moffat throwing himself a great big tribute.

I was wondering what he meant by "I'll sign anything". This could indicate they have some unused footage that could be fit in to the anniversary or perhaps used as the tail end of an 8th Doctor movie showing him regenerating.

0:35 Well, it was like a cheap version of "Left Behind" which was a cheap version of "Da Vinci Code" and they were all hackneyed cash-ins on a topical theme in, what, the late 90s? So I wouldn't boast too much about it unless you hang around new age retro hippies a lot.
0:49 Yeah, cause "Queer As Folk" sounds like some kind of generic kitschy BBC sexploitation sitcom like Skins, so it's a surprise to have something of dramatic QUALITY like Doctor Who in the same sentence.

I think he should re-considers what he is saying, because everyone wants to see this "Time War" where Paul McGann turns into Christopher Eccleston, Paul McGann said that the bbc hasn't approched him, but he is willing to play the part, but you have Eccleston saying, "he won't bath in the same river twice.", he's pretty much dispointed the "who" fans for his own stubbish if you think about it.

They replaced everyone for the original Start Trek movie remake...why not the first seven (or eight) Doctors?

Eccleston was not my favorite doctor; that spot is reserved for David Tennant <3
However, I was a little disappointed that he did only one season. I always felt that was odd, and that there must be something going on. After listening to this, I understand why he didn't go for another season.

Here are my 2 choices to be the 12th Doctor 1). Steve Valentine from Crossing Jordan & Estate of Panic. 2). Henry Ian Cusick from Lost. Either one would be better then Matt Smith In my opinion. Please check out both of their acting styles before you choose. Leave a comment with your thoughts! P.S Henry's always running In lost and has a bit of Tennant style mixed with Paul Mcgann!

@TheMorrochben If not, we could have Julian Richings stand in as the 1st Doctor (as he looks a lot like Hartnell, and carries the same air of seriousness about him), David Troughton could stand in for his father, and I can't think of anyone who can take Jon Pertwee's place (right now, anyway but in 20 mins or so I'll think of someone)
georgercop 4 months ago
@georgercop
I think a more logical stand-in for the 1st doctor would be David Warner. It would make perfect sense given that he's already played the doctor in an audio play and he looks very much like William Hartnell.

I wish eccleston hadnt played dr who then i wouldnt have had to buy the box set with him in it but to complete the series of box sets from when it started back till now i had to!! I think hes self absorbed in his own arrogans!! there are many actors who would kill for that part (excuse the pun)
