In early 2005, fans of this legendary television show rejoiced as the Doctor finally returned to our screens - and what a mysterious Doctor he was! Portrayed by Christopher Eccleston, he brought something unique to the role which involved giving the Doctor a horrible past. This Doctor is one of the most underrated Doctors in the show as he didn't have a long 'shelf-life', as it were. Although he only appeared for one series, he's an important Doctor who managed to leave his mark on the universe - or Whoniverse - after the 13 episodes which helped to reintroduce the character and the show to a whole new generation. For that, Doctor Who fans should be eternally grateful. As mentioned, Christopher Eccleston only helmed the TARDIS for one series but it's a series that's full of iconic moments which will stand the test of time. From the end of the world to gas mask children ("Are you my mummy?" still haunts our nightmares...), there was something for fans both young and old to enjoy and take away from the Ninth Doctor's adventures. So, as NuWho gets set to enter its 10th year, here are the 10 best moments of the Ninth Doctor. If you didn't know it already, he was absolutely fantastic - as the man himself would tend to agree!
