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

[@RabbiB0Y]

Yes please

[@CrankyGrandma]

I’d have loved McGann to have been the War Doctor

[@charlestownsend9280]

​@CrankyGrandma he kind of does in big finish, as he has a whole time war series (so does the war doctor and the war master, the war master one being amazing). But at the same time I don't think that 8bw9rks as the war doctor, he's just to kind a doctor and in the big finish stories it just breaks him. I think ifb8 returned there probably wouldn't have been a time war and it would probably be more like storm warning. Where you just start with 8 sometime after the movie and meeting a new companion.

[@Beegeezy144]

McGann is so charismatic. He nailed the Doctor's excitement and zest for life in the movie, and nowadays his voice is grand and he speaks with gravitas. He is an excellent Doctor, one of the best, and we haven't gotten enough of him. Also, I have to say that the 8th Doctor had the best fashion sense, and he was also the most handsome. I mean, he still looks great for his age, but he was a true stud in the movie.

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.

Suggestion: What If The Master Was The Timeless Child?

[@andrewdreasler428]

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.)

[@quinnsinclair7028]

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.

[@dagger1345]

I would love to see a former Doctor actor play an incarnation of the Master. However, even more than that, I want to see David Tennant's current Doctor become the Valeyard! I think it would be perfect! Especially with it being the only time the Doctor has "bigenerated".

[@Futura2500]

what if the Saxon Master did actually regenerate at the end of "Last of the Time Lords"?

[@OptimysticPessimyst]

“What If Christopher Eccleston Did Doctor Who Series 2?” “I don’t want to go into the politics of why Eccleston left…” The entirety of this video both doesn’t speak about how Series 2 with Eccleston would be, beyond wanting 9’s accent face the Cybermen, and spends the majority of its runtime talking about why Eccleston left and won’t come back as well as talking about him appearing in non-S2 stories… What a classic example of a clickbait video if I’ve ever seen one and I used to be subbed to this channel. This one just appeared on my Recommends. Change the title. This is a good video under false pretences.

[@izzyjenniferariel3608]

What if Doctor Who had a Spider-verse Style Movie, In plot and Animation?

[@shanecoleman5952]

Out of context and ignoring the rest of the season, 9 would have been perfect in The Impossible Planet and the Satan Pit

[@Comicbroe405]

I said in a similar video but I think with Eccleston, we could've scene even more focus on the Doctor's post-time war guilt & how much Rose helped him.

[@sealionstudios8597]

I've written a five series Doctor Who story of my own that culminates in a film (not a special, a FILM) where Omega is the main villain alongside the Master, a faction of Time Lords led by President Borusa and the Silence. Naturally, it's a multi-Doctor story. But, at the end of the fifth series (three seasons with an original female Doctor, two with an original male Doctor), I actually had Omega manipulate the Doctor's regrneration to give him back Chris' face. Putting aside the fact that I get to see Chris alongside David and Matt, this would be an oppurtunity for him to play a new incarnation of the Doctor who is no longer svarred by the Time War, but is instead scarred by the knowledge that the Time Lords are back and they are pure evil. Maybe this would be s controversial choice but I kept the Timeless Child backstory as there are subtle points raised about family/cultural abuse and wanting to run away from home (perfect for the Doctor, I think but loosely based ony own experiences...) But I dunno; what do you think?

[@FullFatVideos]

Thank you!

[@tomw4014]

I think CE coming back as the Master would be such a fun idea, he and MS versing another one would be fun, maybe the 70th! Haha

[@thysens]

As much as I enjoyed Eccleston’s tenure on the show, I always stand by the fact that having him regenerate at the end of the first season was the best story choice- honestly, I’m shocked it wasn’t original intention. I think it’s completely genius to create an attachment to this Doctor before immediately changing his face- it immediately establishes the mechanics of regeneration and the show’s theme of facing change head-on. Plus, Eccleston’s arc was clearly about the effects of the Time War, and his choice of ‘coward over killer’ resolves an important aspect of his guilt- I see his regeneration as, like the video says, a new breath of life, less burdened by the guilt of his past actions, because he made a different choice this time.

[@kdisley]

I love the idea of either Eccleston or Smith coming back as the Master and ruining his reputation, but to be fair, it doesn't have to be done with an existing Doctor's face (although that would obviously be great fan-service)... What could be interesting is if the next regeneration you see Gatwa's Doctor go through the light-show as per usual, but do a hard-cut cliffhanger where he's _about_ to start transforming to reveal the next actor so the new face is never actually revealed. Then, start the next season with a new character who goes around doing very Doctor-y stuff in the TARDIS after a time-skip, with a new Companion coming in after he's been travelling alone for a while (like Matt Smith with Amy or Capaldi with Bill) - saving the day, although with a more edgy personality this time around where he has no problem with sacrificing someone for the greater good and does the right thing because it's logical rather than because he actually cares, more like the darker Capaldi episodes where he's more calculating than empathic about it without Clara to balance him out. Then about halfway through the season, we get the reveal that the guy who has been traveling around in the TARDIS for the first episodes was actually *_the Master all along!_* The _real_ Doctor (surprise reveal at episode's end of an unknown new face, dressed in the rags of Gatwa's old outfit, chained to the wall and slumped and beaten down in some sort of medieval-style prison cell) is actually held captive in the bowels of the TARDIS, and the Master basically ambushed the Doctor soon after his regeneration. He'd been following him for a while, waiting for a moment of weakness, and pounced when the new Doctor was still confused and getting used to their teeth again. Easily overpowering his weakened mind with his mesmerism, the Master basically walked him into this prison cell, caught him off-balance and chained him up. Then, he went out into the control room and just started having "adventures" and introducing himself to everyone as The Doctor. After all, that name is associated with so many different faces over the course of Time, so who's to say he isn't...? Eventually though, it transpires that the Master's stint in cosplay all actually leads to some master _(ahem)_ plan - every adventure we've seen for the first half of the series has absolutely helped people and _seems_ to have saved the day, but this is more or less a happy side-effect rather than the main purpose... he saves a whole race of peace-loving people from some huge disaster, but it turns out that they will eventually grow more warlike in the future and create some massive superweapon that the Master needs as part of his plan down the line. So while he _seems_ to be saving them because he's the Good Guy, he's _actually_ doing it to ensure they survive to make his weapon. A few scenarios like this play out until he finally reaches a point where he can't really justify his final move with some altruistic motive, and his Companion smells a rat and calls him on it... which results in the heel turn, with the Master/Doctor going all Colin Baker on her and chasing her through the halls of the TARDIS. The big cliffhanger is that she open a random door and finds this dude chained to the wall... "My God - who are you...?" they exclaim. They slowly look up, clearly exhausted through starvation, and say, "I'm... _the Doctor."_ Cut to credits, with the next episode being the Master/Doctor's Companion freeing the Doctor who then helps them defeat the Master (now they've had the time to get their head straight) and taking over as the show's true hero with the Companion by his side. They could then spend the rest of the season basically backtracking to many of the Master/Doctor's episodes to witness the fallout and repercussions of his apparently "saving the day", which gradually reveals this big plan he very nearly put into action. You could even have them go back to the cell and try to get information out of the Master about his end game, like the _Silence Of The Lambs_ style scenes with Capaldi and Missy when she was locked in the vault. In order for this to work though, you would have to go for the full misinformation campaign, carefully leaking that the Master/Doctor's actor would be the "new Doctor" for the next series, and keep the _real_ new Doctor under wraps with some serious misdirection until the reveal hallfway through the season. Given the Whovian grapevine and their extensive information network, that would take a titanic effort on the part of the cast and crew to avoid even the slightest slip-up by a 2nd-unit catering cook telling a friend without thinking and it suddenly ending up all over the papers the next day... but by _God,_ would that reveal be worth it!!!

I'm certain many of the flaws made in recent seasons wouldn't have happened if he had continued. Looking back, Eccleston doesn't seem so mad now. In fact, he seems wiser with his take about RTD knowing how RTD turned out. For me, with Eccleston back in front of the camera means a return to how Dr Who USED to be.

What if Astrid didn't die and got to be a full companion? What if Rory was never restored after the Crack in Time unmade him (given this would prevent River from being born and vastly change storylines)? What if 9 had met Martha first, instead of Rose? What if the Dream Lord had been 11's main villain? What if Clara did not return for Season 9, fully saying goodbye to 12 after Danny's death? What if the order of Doctors was changed? (ie: 9 regen into 11, 10 into 12, etc) What if Gallifrey hadn't been destroyed by the Master? (not necessarily a serious, just a saltiness I have about the show walking back the interesting paradigm shift of them being back in the series and what could have been explored)

[@M3rcheAlt]

I actually made a comic called what if doctor who where the ninth doctor didnt regenerate but regenerated after daleks in manhattan in series 3

[@snarglepop]

Suggestion: Clara reversing the mindwipe caused too much damage and forced the Doctor to regenerate. S10 with Thirteen, Bill, and Nardole (and Missy!)

[@zillaquazar]

The entire series would be the current doctor coming across stories about himself and about all the damage and death he has caused so he follows the clues eventually coming across a tatdis, seeing the back of a leather jacket wearing man enter it and a chase begins, tardis chasing tardis through the time vortex stopping at familiar point in the doctors history like portals opening and closing as the other tardis blasts lazers and causes damage to the doctors past. Eventually the other tardis lands (somewhere significant) the doctor lands his tardis and storms over to the other tardis. The door cracks open and our doctor slows down, the familiar sound of the 9th/10th console room is getting louder. Footsteps down the metal ramp are heard along with some slow claps with an evil grin out steps the (Doctor) "Fantastic"

[@joanguimaraescastro]

I'm going to tell you, I don't feel like I'd like to change anything about what the show was, really. But I would love Eccleston to return as 9 in his lonely adventures before Rose, it would be interesting to see for the first time a season or two of him alone. That would bring the deserved 3 seasons every Doctor has for him. Just some justice for the ninth doctor I'd say.

What If: The Master was the Timeless Child? Sacha’s incarnation goes to Gallifrey and discovers the truth. He’s angry, but instead claims the planet as his birthright, laying waste to any remaining Rassilon loyalists and forming a Time Lord army that takes over numerous Galaxies. Full on time facism, because he thinks he deserves it. In trying to stop him, The Doctor teams up with former enemies and former faces, but nothing works. The only way to defeat him is to find the wormhole and seal it, with her and The Master on the other side. It’s an Ahsoka scenario where this other universe follows totally different rules, and 13 really isn’t special, if anything she’s underpowered compared to everyone else there. How does she react to the species that were wronged so badly by her own? How does our universe cope with no Doctor?

It would be a Hell of a lot better. As soon as Tennant took over he made the Doctor more human and flirtatious which I hated. Yes Eccleston had a slight flirtatious side but it wasn’t as much as Tennant. Christopher Eccleston was the better actor. Tennant’s face pulling and OTT acting really grated on me. Then there’s the dreadful annoying Mockney accent. I don’t blame Christopher for leaving. It must be awkward working for an egotistical type such as RTD. Christopher Eccleston and Peter Capaldi are the best actors in modern Who.

He didn't. Period. End of debate. And it was probably for the best as he was in a bad place while making the show. He was depressed and anorexic. He didn't get along with Davies and other BBC execs who wouldn't let him play the Doctor his way thought would be better. They wanted him to be more quirky/comedic and that just isn't him. He would have gotten worse had he stayed . He got out for the best reasons, his own mental health ... but the press tore him apart ... so factor that into your "What If's"
