Chris Eccleston at NYCC -- Full Panel 

I'm constantly struck by his integrity and honesty in interviews.

He has said in other interviews that he's surprised and really pleased that people are focusing on his other works. And it's nice that she focused on the new first and didn't get in to DW for quite a while (even if DW is most of my reason for watching). I learned about so much new stuff that I wanna check out now because the panel wasn't Who only.

Right?!

Time stamp?

Another vid with him, he mentioned RTD chose that word for him because it was something his siblings and him said a lot lol

So true she was great.

Marcus Sheppard Great comment, she was excellent

the perfect balance of being quiet and respectful whilst the interviewee is talking but also not seeming robotic or uninterested, love that from her

@@That_Random_Bloke she was fantastic!

The 60th anniversary is coming soon.

@@HOTD108_ Just wait for the 200th anniversary lmao

@@HOTD108_ XD

How would it go if they went for a anniversary season rather than a special ?

Have I got news for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LliKVpAq-Dc.html

That was so funny, he's just saying football is with your foot, not ya hand haha , so right. His Doc would have only got better had he managed a 2nd or 3rd series. I'm from the North East of England too. I totally see why Chris is so honest and passionate about all his subjects he talks about and never holds back his feelings!👍🏻

That was so Doctor- y!

@Kristien Robert Harland Bell-Wadge Oh, he's an amazing actor with such a wide scope. Being an American, I'd never seen him before Doctor Who, and I was so thrilled to discover him. I've really enjoyed his other works since and hope he has a long and successful career. I'll always miss him as the Doctor, and I'm grateful that the role brought him to my attention (and probably to the attention of quite a few non-British nerds, geeks, and dorks just like myself). For that alone, I'm grateful to the Ninth Doctor. He was wonderful in the role, playing the Doctor as an individual who was clearly not human and (something close to my heart) he gave such a nuanced and sensitive portrayal of PTSD (probably the one thing I have in common with the Ninth Doctor lol). My heart went out to him seeing that, and it's what made me seek out his other work. Mr Eccelston made me fall in love with Nine and, in turn, Nine made me fall in love with Mr Eccleston. It's probably a uniquely American viewpoint to have on him and that role. I will always love Mr Eccleston in all his roles, but Nine will always hold a special place in my heart. Although I'm very eager to see if I can get my hands on that version of Antigone he mentioned. I love Sophocles.

Honestly what sense does it make to attack RTD now. 14 years later.

Could you tell me more.

@@spyingcactus the reason Chris led was because he fell out with rtd

@@MrAllallalla maybe because he’s another egomaniac in the british saville corporation

Hail!

I think that rumour came around from certain fans who didn't like the idea of a gay man writing Dr Who. Eccleston never expressed anything like that about Davies, or in general.

Andrew M there’s a lot of people who claim he hated it due to Davies writing in gay tinges and having to work with John Barrowman, which clearly isn’t true at all

many times i heard the story of how he left because a director treated the crew extremely badly but was brought back to direct again even after chris complained & didnt want to work with him any more

Phoenix 24 he’ll be 99. We can only hope...

Prof. Evil Pictures That would actually be the funniest and best thing ever if a 99 year old Chris just appeared on doctor who

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LliKVpAq-Dc.html I'm really excited!!!

you never know, maybe he could do a little cameo, similar to how Tom baker appeared in the end of The Day of the Doctor as the curator. would be fun to see.

While I agree that he should stop joking about and putting down his performance, that's not the reason Tennant knew the part was more than the character. As Ecclescake said, he didn't grow up with the show, he wasn't part of the fandom, so to him it was just another character in another job that just happened to have existed in an earlier time. Whilst the success of his season certainly played it's part when Tennant took over, Tennant also had the knowledge of being part of the fandom since a very early age. He knew the expectations that came with that role, which Ecclescake didn't. That's what he's referring to, something that began long before the relaunch was ever a thing. :-)

Neither did Jon. He was comedy actor who did voices. You don't need to be a fan to play the part.

@@matthewburrows6327 no, you don't. But you need to know the cultural significance of doctor who to be even slightly prepared about what's to come during and after your tenure.

@@MrAllallalla It's no different from any other show. Especially since it had been axed for 15 years, with 1 failed attempt to bring it back

@@sygulli5093 bruh, just look at Doctor Who The Movie. Paul is still playing The Doctor to this day (on audio) after just a single film in 1996. It's definitely different from any other part, because it never leaves you

Always knew he cared. But I always thought that he as a human being was more important than a fictional TV show that wouldn't exist without humans.

Pity that you put doctor Who above the health of the human being. He was not entitled to tell you his mental health issues. I bet if he had cancer or it was David Tennant then you'd have sympathy. More people die of the complications of anorexia than any other mental illness, complications such as heart attacks or suicide. If you heard on the news that he had committed suicide a few years ago, would you still think Doctor Who is more important than the health and wellbeing of the actors?

What legal?

Let’s all hope we’re still alive by then

@@murdermcmurderface I'm counting down the days!

Still sad that he was not on it can come back.. I guess since RTD is back for the 60th Chris defo won't come back.

@@ronariverarahman9941 If only he could put his ego to the side. The world doesn't resolve around him alone and what he wants.

@@timrob12 I am sad and was desperate for him to come back. but he can do what he wants. It's a job and if has the option to turn down stuff he does not want to do all power to him.

@@ronariverarahman9941 Okay, I'm not going to make to big a fuss about this, but I do wish he DOES come back. Not for himself, but for the fans. He and Russell are both grown men. Sit together and talk it out.

I like how you know what Jodie is.

@@whatislife1200 Bruh so fkn true 🤣

Bruh the person who uploaded this didn’t host the panel. They just uploaded it.

Stefan Travis I’ also think Bad wolf/POTW is my favourite finale to a season.

Yeah, there are some seasons I consider generally good (series 8) and some I remember for certain episodes (series 11, don't at me!), but to me series 1 had both. Not a single episode I'd skip on a rewatch. That's quality. That's Eccleston. That's Piper. Davies, Moffat, everybody. Or maybe that's nostalgia, I don't know!

I haven't forgotten that. 2018 was a painful reminder of how far the series has fallen.

Theres always a series with iconic episodes

I don't know if it is considered a classic but I love Father's Day. Terrific episode imho.

We could only hope...

Well maybe niw

WHATAFAK?! 1 month later. HE'S BACK!

@@engage1942 for a full audio Series. It's not the show, but it's a massive step for him. Very exciting!

@@Irrev77 OH MY GODS, THAT’S FANTASTIC!
