15 years after he departed, Christopher Eccleston is returning to Doctor Who

Photo: Doctor Who/YouTube To repeat: Oh, fantastic! The space time continuum is blessing us with Christopher Eccleston’s return to Doctor Who, more than 15 years after, as the Ninth Doctor, he quietly hung up his leather jacket and departed the franchise following behind-the-scenes turmoil. Den of Geek reports that Eccleston has signed on to voice a series of new Doctor Who audio adventures, which will be jointly released by BBC Studios and Big Finish Productions in May 2021.

Following years of silence and several compelling roles across the pond, Eccleston revealed in 2018 that the British film and television industry blacklisted him after he left Doctor Who, which he says was due to the strained relationship with his “three immediate superiors” — the showrunner and executive producers, who were Russell T. Davies, Julie Gardner, and Phil Collinson, respectively.

In 2019, Eccleston also said during a rare Comic-Con appearance that the lingering effects of the blacklist made him reject an offer to appear in the show’s 50th anniversary special, as he was still angry due to various “political” factors. “I personally didn’t feel like the narrative was strong enough, particularly for the Ninth Doctor because I’d taken quite a lot of abuse in my own country when I left,” he explained about the offer.

A doctor runs 22 miles in a face mask to prove that they are safeA doctor in England wanted to prove that face masks won't impair your oxygen levels. So he ran for 22 miles while wearing one. Why on earth would a common everyday person (excluded runners) run 22 miles in the first place? False headline. He didn’t run 22 miles all at once. He ran 8 in the morning and then ran another 14 miles hours later. I practiced basketball and it impacted me. I was tired quickly. They aren't meant for sports activity levels of movement.
