  • Just one more season. Was that too much to ask?

  • hot hot hot hot x100000000000000000

  • He Did Not Play The Doctor That Long Too Bad He Was Good.

  • I'm American, and I'm not old enough to drive yet, but I find it so confusing how you can be an adult, with a job, and get around WITHOUT a car. I mean, some of the older kids at my school have cars already.

  • @masteraj57 by the way, how far is 26 meter in feet or yards?

  • @masteraj57 Lots of people do it--and I mean people with money, too. U.S. is very spread out and most of it doesn't have a great transport system...but if you live in NYC or London or other big cities with great transport, having a car is more trouble than its worth.

  • The empty child and the doctor dances were scary, but the banter going on between the doctor and Jack made them some of my favorite episodes. But I'm amazed he can drive that well so quickly, I would probably do worse than Billie and spin off if I was on that track.

  • He has a fantastic beard.

  • He looks so hot with the beard.

  • Jeremy Clarkson is a doctor? I wasn't aware. Probably a proctologist-who knows arseholes better than him?

  • @warriorofwrestlingv3 lol xD.

    more of a Doctor Fix it kinda guy Jeremy Clearkson is xD.

  • 2:23 Weird hearing him talk in an American accent. O.o

  • this man is so hot!

  • Aww, what a lovely smile he has. He seems like a real sweetheart.

  • thats true! the masked episode is scary!

  • i love his smile!!

  • YOU LEFT THE PARKING BRAKE ON!!!

  • Chris will always be 'my doctor'. :) I love David and i like Matt, but...I don't really know, i guess because he was the first doctor i ever saw.... You know?

  • wow he looks different with space fungus on his head

  • Hi, my names door, thats a shame!

  • am i the only one who really hated how the guy treated christopher?

  • @jenniferlynnashe I knew before I even went to your channel that you were from the U.S, I see these comments all the time. Over here in England, we don't get offended by the slightest remark. We make jokes about terrorism, religion and other taboo subjects without getting persecuted. In this interview, there is absolutely nothing out of the ordinary with regards to British media, they're just playing off each other. Have no idea why you'd think he mistreated Ecclestone.

  • @OSXHD yes i am from the U.S. and i'm very proud of it. but thank you for explaining that this is a normal thing that you guys see. at least i know now that this is ok where you live. thanks :)

  • @jenniferlynnashe I don't think there's such a thing as an American that isn't sickeningly proud and patriotic, but there ya go. It's considered acceptable in many places, especially in Western Europe. Yet again, astounding American ignorance at its finest.

  • @OSXHD im really sorry if you've met enough Americans to think we're all ignorant. merry Christmas :)

  • @jenniferlynnashe I know that not all of them are, but most nonetheless. It's not even your fault half the time, your media shuts you off from the outside world, as does your education system. You're only taught about American history, American geography etc. I've met some Americans as a matter of fact that haven't even heard of some countries, and I'm not talking about the likes of Eritrea or Myanmar.

  • @OSXHD I'm american. Well mexican american and to be honest the patriotism in this country is so incredibly low. well it is mostly located in the south, racist and backwater hicks. i know not all people from the south are what i just stated but its the ones that stand that make people think they are all hicks. See the thing is that by me saying that the south has lots of white trash, it is the same as you saying most the USA population is sickenly proud and patriotic.

  • @Lcavila94 That's just the impression I get from the Americans I know, the media coverage (not just the south, I've seen plenty of videos of mobs chanting "USA USA" over and over like some rabble of primates) and other such influences. The average American is more patriotic than most.

  • He redid the lap in the tardis, he set a lap time of 0:01

  • @rysnyper50002 well to be more accurate on a temporal scale. And i quote from Clearkson.

    You did actualy cross the line in 1958.

    xD

  • Well obviously he doesn't drive. Who needs a car when you have a TARDIS?

  • I love Chris. 

  • christophor and my uncle are so similar, runs more, short car history :D

  • @ifba100 oh my gosh same here with my uncle! :D he even looks like him

  • @jenniferlynnashe same and miy uncle comes from the same place!!

  • I assure you, I am not a ravenous fangirl

    but holy God, that man is adorable.

  • Spoiler alert, the marathon runner won.

  • Holy dear lord, he's so adorable.

  • I'll do everything he wanted me to do.

  • ROFL xD hah i definatly thought that Tardis sound effect was quite epic CX.

  • Comment removed

  • HE'S GOT A BEARD was the only thing going through my head that whole time...

  • @TopGear, can I know when this was aired?

  • Without a doubt, my favourite Doctor.

  • I don't understand why under every single video of Chris out here, most of the comments are about Doctor Who, David Tennant and such. i mean, CE is MY Doctor, my absolute favourite out of all 11 of them - yes people, 11 of them not the latest 3, and still it annoys me seeing that all people can say is "ah Tennant was better", "ah i miss him as the doctor" and such.

    And it annoys him too, you know?

    He is a BRILLIANT actor, a wonderful person, a fantastic artist - not just the Ninth Doctor.

  • he was brilliant as the ninth doctor despite the face he did only one season.

  • I wish they'd done the TARDIS start for Tennant :x

  • Looking at Chris now I kinda of miss miss him as The Doctor. He was Fantastic.

  • @mmgringoire2 He was C:

  • @mmgringoire2 good one! ;)

  • @mmgringoire2 I read that fantastic in my head as he would say as The Doctor :-) weird x

  • @96somethingsomething I hear the word "Fanstastic" I can only picture himsaying it.

  • @mmgringoire2 Me too :-D

    And with brilliant it's the same with me

  • @mmgringoire2 he was yes, he could have done more =(

  • @mmgringoire2 Me too.. :(

  • One season? :/ He was so GOOD, though.

  • Are you my mommy?

  • He's lovely <3

  • my favorite doctor

  • Is it just me or when he does the American accent does he sound like David Boreanaz?

  • AND 9 Beats 10!!! Damn!

  • @TennantJunkie1993 no he didn't XD

  • @MoyashiFukadai Okay, so I was wrong. I thought that David Tennant's time was worse than Eccleston's, and I appologize for the faux pas. Desole, DT fangirls of fellow. I now know that 1:48.8 is better than 1:52.4.

  • Loled at the "Where's the nearest train station" bit. "I'm tight, I wouldn't give a door a bang" XD

  • When I think of Eccleston, I think he looks like such a sweetheart... But when I see him in this vid, I'm just thinking: I'd love to straddle him =3=

  • que capitulo es este?

    what´s this chapter?

  • The TARDIS sound effect was awesome

  • and know we know who started the tradition of the doctor drivng the tardis with the brakes on

  • His accent is awesome

  • Eccleston looks vicious... I like it.

  • And I would like to add, that I love all of you people who wrote nice things about him: I thought I was the only one who prefers The Ninth above any other Doctor. Thank you people, really! <3

  • @Amphata I actually started watching the show three days ago, but first watched S5E1 (Matt Smith), and then saw all of season 1, and then almost done with season 2, so I've seen those three and I really really love Christopher, even though all the doctors are funny and unique in their own ways, he had a certain flare that I really miss!

  • @silentxinsanityy I completely understand how you feel. :D I actually started with Chris, passed by David and finally reached Matt: they are all brilliant and awesome Doctors (now I only need to watch the very first seasons of the show :D).

    But the Ninth has got something, what can we call it, something between funny and dark: something that makes you decide that you like his smile a lot, but also that you will shut up and listen to him and do what he says. :D

  • @Amphata I couldn't have said it better myself! 

  • @silentxinsanityy Ahahah awww thank you! I hate explaining my thoughts in a foreign language. :D

  • But why can't he just come back?!?

    Oh please, Chris, PLEASE!

  • lol my first Doctor was Tom Baker lol

    I'm olllddddd

  • My goodness, he's adorable!

  • He's my favorite Doctor even though he didn't have as much episodes as David and Matt :) He's brilliant!

  • @JeanHar93 Don't you mean......fantastic?

  • i would say he and david are the best dr for me

  • @nicolist me too :D

  • Oh, wow, he's hot with a beard!

  • I have beard now, beards are cool!

  • He should have stayed with the beard

  • Eccleston is so much better than that new guy. I am pissed he left

  • @schusta677 What you mean Matt. Matt great as the doctor but your right Chris is great as the doctor

  • Hahahahahhahaha

    They TARDIS'ed the Liana. The best ever start to the Lap Viewing.

  • Eccleston was my first doctor and I could remember adoring him when I was like 10/11 years old, and when he 'died' I thought Tennant was going to be shit, (but obviously I was proved wrong there :D) but IMHO christopher should have done another year!! I mean, have you seen him do anything else? Reading these comments have started to make me think that he does deserve more recongition, he was the guy that bought it back to the 2000s right? <3 you 9th!! :)

  • I love David Tennant, but I really do miss Christopher Eccleston, I wish he'd stayed a bit longer

  • you dont get the credit u derserve

  • When Christopher Eccleston saw that car, the first thing he said was, "Nice liana!"

    Thumbs up if you get the reference.

  • Comment removed

  • Chris was my second doctor. I watched the series out of order I first watched the second season through the fourth then the first season and finally finished up with the fifth and the sixth Chris was a great dr and he deffinatly set the character up enough for david. David was amazing as the doctor and I really enjoy Matt but my dr will always be David because he was my first dr and he was what had me watching the show.

  • It's interesting that they say they are from the "north", but Yorkshire is in near the middle of the UK, so I don't get that. North of where?

  • @ninman58 Yorkshire might look like it's in the middle of Britain but that's including Scotland. "The North" means the north of ENGLAND. Basically, everyone in England considers Manchester (where Ecclestone's from) and Yorkshire as part of "the north".

  • I love it when he describes the reaction of the American guy when he told him that he doesn't drive. Like how could you possibly live without a car?

  • Jeremy darling, have you ever even watched Doctor Who? Because that is just the name of the show, he is not actually called that way, just The Doctor!

  • haha this is so amazing. "He actually physically backed away from me" love it lol Christopher was a great doctor!

  • I'm not sure if it bothered Christopher at the time, but it's sure bugging me that Jeremy put his name as "Dr Who" on the board.

  • I wish he would have stayed at least another season, oh well

  • His name isn't Dr. Who. It's The Doctor. Amateurs.

  • @thephinnaeus Lol

  • @thephinnaeus Actually, if you'll look in the credits on the old show, as well as some of Tennant's credits, he's listed as "doctor who." It's a culture thing. It can be either way.

  • @thephinnaeus Obviously you haven't seen the original series, where in the credits he was listed as Dr. Who...

  • Its my favorite doctor!!!!!

    *cries*

  • they should do a doctor who series with May,Hammond and Clarkson as the doctors assistants.

  • shave that beard off right now

  • Did anyone else notice that Christopher looked a bit iritated when the interviewer referred to him as The Doctor, or was it just me? Or maybe he was mad that he called him "Doctor Who"?

  • Eccleston was a great Doctor, one of the best imo. he should have gotten more than 1 season. but at least he went out with a bang

  • he has the best smile of ANY Doctor </3

  • lol. notice how they r trying 2 make it scary and how it was. now its just drama

  • Christopher Eccleston definitely didn't get enough screen time. But it was his choice to go after 1 season. He was very fantastic. :D

  • Christopher Eccleston IS Dr. Who and no one else! I don't watch anymore. I want him back and Rose too.

  • @manny9429 Seriously? You've been missing out on some great stuff. You should get back into it. Try to watch the show with an open mind. You can't let the choice of an actor completely ruin the show for you. The writing has been great.

  • what does he say at 1:58?

  • @singlouder08 I believe he said "That's because I'm tight. I wouldn't give a door a bang."

  • @CamilleonProductions okay, maybe I'm just dumb or maybe it's a regional thing but I still don't get that last bit. I thought he said "I wouldn't give a door a bank." Which really doesn't even make sense either. But thanks for trying. :-)

  • he actually looks exactly looks like my dad lmao and he is also my fave doctor!!

  • @NizzleIndustries he's recently said that we will never come back not even for a one off, im terribly sad about it :(

  • i wonder why he didnt like being in dr who, still i think in the long run he's made a good call to leave so soon because his career is still as succesful as it was before, lets hope it'll be the same for david tennant coz i have no idea what else he's been in since dr who

  • @jhibbitt1 I think he was just wanting to do it for 1 season. I haven't heard or read anything about him saying that he didnt' like playing The Doctor, but he's been on stage, in various shows or mini-series, and a few movies since he left DW.

  • @ThunderStorm8 I read he had "mixed feelings" about filming. Something about the work enironment.

  • Kills me how beautiful this man is - so freaking sexy and sweet and kinda SHY. Yummy - Still my Favorite Doctor.

  • Comment removed

  • he is the most beautiful man I've ever seen

  • They did the race between the maraton runner and the car over the london marathon course during rush hour .

    The marathon runner won.

  • I just love him!

  • I love that he seems almost shy while still being very funny and sweet.... Aw. I need to watch more interviews with him.

  • Oh man he's right... The Empty Child was one of the scariest episodes! I adore Eccleston and Tennant, though not a fan of Smith =[

  • Just saw him in Jude. Awesome actor.

  • Where did get Matt ? He doesn't have that look.. Is it just me-or does he look way too old for his age ? It doesn't look good.. They gotta get him to grow a beard..

  • SHAVE YOUR BEARD, MATE!

    Brilliant actor, scary beard!

  • Brilliant when he says that he'd back a runner over a car in London. He was right!

  • I love it when he said he got interviewed during Gone in 60 seconds, and was asked what car he drives, and he said "I don't drive", and the interviewer physically backed away from him. LOL.

    I had a friend who experienced something similar when he was in school and his parents didn't own a car. People treated him like he had the plague or something.

  • He was a brilliant actor in "28 Days Later".

  • He doesn´t beat Vinnie only at the lap, that´s for sure :))

  • What year is this?

  • Christopher you should always have a beard.

  • I love this man! What an amazing doctor <3

  • Chris is so freakin' lovable. That smile of his makes me smile.

  • @kemikalrxn

    I totally agree, he´s so Mmmmmmmmmm with that "space fungus", the accent and, more than anything else, the sincere smile. He´s got the best "doctor grin" ever.

  • A prius ad before a Top Gear clip???? SomeOne call Jeremy Clarkson STAT!

  • marathon runner = perfect doctor

    because they run so much

  • this combines three of my favourite things - doctor who, top gear and getting things wrong¬

  • I saw Eddie Izzard on the list woot!

    And I have to say I love Christopher he was a great Doctor!

  • He... looks like what I picture a cross-continental racer to look like, with that beard.

  • love the tardis start up at the beginning of the lap

  • Tennant is fantastic, but Eccleston definitely doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

  • @NoOtherNamesWereLeft Couldn't agree more!

  • @NoOtherNamesWereLeft Dunno with whomever I speak they all think nr9 was the best doctor.

  • @NoOtherNamesWereLeft

    He was fantastic!

  • @NoOtherNamesWereLeft Tennant is brilliant - Eccleston is _FANTASTIC_!

  • @NoOtherNamesWereLeft Thing is Tennant is far more associated with Dr Who (of course he did it a lot longer) whereas Eccleston was famous before he came to Dr Who and people think of his other work more. I think he's more known for being an actor than being known as Dr Who (if that makes sense).

  • @graemeoliver84 Not to mention that Tennant is taller than Eccleston by one inch.

  • They actually did do the challenge of racing a marathon runner... the runner won!!!!

  • Fantastic.

  • @Bedely1 @Bedely1 each of the doctors is spacial in his way

    even the 11th doctor is amazing he's playing nutz... hes less serious then Eccleston or Tennant

    but this actors are still great...

    hope to see more with smith because i would like to see some dumb shehht**** hes doing :D

  • @Bedely1 I disagree, he captures the older doctors personalities better.

  • hes my uncle in law haha, was with him on new years eve

  • fantastic

  • O NOES!!! THE DUKE OF NORFOLK IS BACK TO KILL ELIZABETH THE 2ND!!!

  • OMFG! His American accent is soooo weird! He sounded like an American from northern U.S.! 2:23-2:24

  • @crazymusicyo No, DT did it in 1.48.8 AND he was in a manual car!

    CE is lovely isn't he? Very sweet, modest and twinkly.

  • god, he's adorable *A*

  • "I'm so tight I wouldn't give a door a bang" - Best line ever!!! LOL!!!

  • @NativeMoon i don't understand what this means. it sounds like something dirty though.  is it?

  • That's funny. They did that challenge and the Marathon runner won it. LOL.

  • It's funny how he always talks of Doctor Who as a childrens show. I never saw it that way.

  • 0:01

  • I wonder if he was faster than David Tennant?
