What If Christopher Eccelston Did Doctor Who Series 2?

What If Christopher Eccelston Did Doctor Who Series 2?
Christopher Eccelston famously left the 2000s revival of Doctor Who after just one series - the news coming out after just the first episode had aired. For new and old fans alike, we fell in love with this incarnation of the Doctor knowing it was going to be short-lived - knowing that he would regenerate and we would have to acclimatise to somebody new.

Now, I don’t want to go into the politics of why Eccelston left [sack rtd, sack julie gardner…] There’s plenty of information already out there and I’m sure if you’re a Who fan you know most of it anyway; I also don’t want to ngo into it because, plainly, it proves there would never ever be a series 2 with the 9th Doctor. It simply would never have happened given the circumstances, whereas the scenario of Matt smith doing Series 8 was something that came very close to fruition. This is purely a What If video from the standpoint of the Whoniverse - the narrative of the 9th Doctor, not the behind the scenes troubles.

I'm a simple man, I see Christopher Eccleston, i click.

I'd love a what if for if McGann to stay for Series 1

[NB]

9 vs. Simm's Master would be an amazing watch

[iceangelx]

Can't believe it's almost been 20 years since Eccleston's era.

Suggestion: What If The Master Was The Timeless Child?

[RandomThumbVids]

I imagine this everytime I watch series 2. Imagine Chris with Madame De Pompadour, reuniting with Sarah-Jane and taking on the Cybermen. He would absolutely rule it.

I would like to go to the alternate timeline where Eccleston did the Day of the Doctor & we got 9 10 & 11 all bouncing off each other, & the finale when they save Gallifrey they all drop their catchphrases “Geronimoooo!!!” “Allons-y!” “Oh! Fantastic! Gallifrey Stands!”

WHAT IF The Master never got that burger in The End of Time?

[TayoEXE]

Eccleston was my first doctor, and he's the reason I fell in love with the series. In fact, I was so offput by my first regeneration, I almost didn't consider watching Series 2. Thankfully I did as David is my favorite Doctor, period. That being said, they're all fantastic actors and I've enjoyed most of the iterations.

11:00 "What a cool twist that would be." Except Chibbers already soiled that idea in The Power of the Doctor, where the Master force-regenerates the Doctor into himself, and then can't decide whether to run around causing chaos, or sit around and play with artifacts from many previous incarnations.

(Seriously, the Master's plan would have been simpler if he simply stole a copy of Jodie's longcoat (it was an off-the-rack model, mass produced) and ran around claiming to be the new regeneration and framing the Doctor that way.)

I believe in an interview Christopher Eccleston said he originally planned to be the Doctor for three seasons. Then the first day of shooting Series 1 happened and Eccleston's relationship with RTD and the other executive producers went down in flames.

In my opinion, Christopher Eccleston was a fantastic Dr & deserves more recognition. He catapulted the show into our lives & ensured it became a family favourite wherever it was shown around the world.
I’m trying to teach my grandson to say “are you my mummy” so thanks for that clip. 😂

Would you cover a classic Who what-if?

"What if Tom Baker agreed to return fully for 'The Five Doctors' 20th anniversary special?"

[christophersheets]

While I would have loved for Nine to be in Day of the Doctor, it would undercut his journey in Series 1. He finds hope in Day of the Doctor, forgets, and then finds hope again in Series 1. Very much a Solo problem. “Han says he only cares about himself but he actually cares about other people. That’s SUPER different from his arc in A New Hope.”

[quinnsinclair]

I mean, the legitimate answer is probably "he ends up dead or in extended hospital stay after his anorexia and mental health issues that the producers were egging on nearly do him in". He left for a pretty good reason.

[yospidey]

Eccelston was absolutely fantastic. It is a shame he didn't stay for another series. Also please do what if Tennant did series 5, I think that would be interesting.

[vinniequick]

The Biggest one I need is what If Paul Mcgann did Series 1-2/3/4/specials/5 depending on how far you see him going

[hurricane]

That Eccleston Master idea could explain his appearances pre Rose, where Clive was collecting info.

[uahmed]

I adore Christopher Eccleston and his 9th Doctor, but as you said his 1 season was absolutely solid and probably the most well-contained story in Who. As you've mentioned, Day of The Doctor would've been the best way to bring him back. Whilst it's upsetting he never returned, having the LEGENDARY John Hurt was a blessing.

With all that being said, if he stayed longer and came across OMG the sass would have been off the charts!!

[ranjanasharan]

12:14 what if paul mcgann did series 1 or basically got a proper series because big finish makes me yearn that
