Recently sharing the news of his return to the Doctor Who universe, having played the titular character in 2005, Eccleston said in a statement: “After 15 years, it will be exciting to revisit the Ninth Doctor’s world, bringing back to life a character I love playing.”
Earlier this year, Christopher Eccleston said he would only return to Doctor Who on television “when hell freezes over” when talking to Radio Times.
