Christopher Eccleston transformed Doctor Who forever. Sixteen years ago, the actor—headlining a bold reboot of the beloved British sci-fi classic that had been off screens for nearly a decade—presented a tortured, compassionate take on a Time Traveler without a home. Then, as quickly as we met him, he vanished, transformed into a new person.

He was great on “Cracker,” a British detective/psychologist show.

So would these be like lost episodes from his turn as Doctor? Or would he come back as THE Doctor after SHE was THE Doctor?

Are you trying to impose linear time restraints on a Time Lord?

He was a good revival of Who that led to David Tenant strengthening the show and the title role. I’ve followed The Doctor since Pertwee. Tom was the best, Tenant the next best, then a toss up between Matt and Christopher. The female transition was a stupid PC failure. The reason Eccleston would not be a best choice is the script stupidity of writing in a sexual degenerate as an immortal captain. Such quisling bow and scrape to the degenerate crowd was inevitable with the team of brilliant homosexual writers.

He was “good”...

The next two were “fantastic”...

The next one was “pathetic”... (He only got the job because he shot & killed his wife & kid during “Miracle Year”)

The first dike was obnoxious & offensive...

It’s over... It’s all over...
Once the toilet is flushed, nothing good ever comes back up...

I’ll stick to all my old DVD’s and streamed re-runs of the good stuff...

That is exactly when I stopped watching. When the captain went for a kiss with a dude, I was done.
Screw that crap.

I LOVED Tom Baker as the Doctor.

He also was a wonderful “Rasputin” in Nicholas and Alexandra.

Incredible Actor.
