OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Doctor Who’ star Christopher Eccleston is “entirely open” to meeting The Master or River Song in an audio adventure.
The 57-year-old actor – who led the TV revival of the sci-fi show – has admitted he doesn’t know much about either of the iconic characters, but he’s “happy to meet anybody” in the audio series.
Asked about the prospect in a Big Finish YouTube video, Christopher explained: “I don’t really know much about The Master and River Song, but my Doctor is happy to meet anybody, so I’m entirely open.”
Christopher has returned to the role of the Doctor for the Big Finish audio adventure series.
But he recently confirmed that it’s quite distinct from the TV show.
He explained: “I just ignore it. And [the Doctor] does.
“We’ve just recorded an episode for instance where the Brigadier is saying to him, ‘You remember, you came to my retirement party and then we ended up on Gallifrey,’ and he said, ‘No, I don’t remember.’
“An essential quality of him is he’s entirely in the moment … I don’t refer to any of that [canon]. My Doctor is very much in the moment.”
Christopher walked away from the ‘Doctor Who’ TV show after just one series, but he previously claimed that his decision to quit nearly destroyed his career.
He said: “What happened around ‘Doctor Who’ almost destroyed my career.
“I gave them a hit show and I left with dignity and then they put me on a blacklist.”
The actor decided to head to the US in a bid to save his career.
He said: “I was told by my agent at the time: ‘The BBC regime is against you. You’re going to have to get out of the country and wait for regime change.’ So I went away to America and I kept on working because that’s what my parents instilled in me.”
