Doctor Who: 20 Things You Didn't Know About The Ninth Doctor

2. Eccleston Wants To Return For The 100th Anniversary Special

With Eccleston finally returning to Doctor Who for some Big Finish audio dramas, the question now turns to whether or not we'll ever see him in the TV show again.

Eccleston has actually talked about returning for a Doctor Who anniversary at some point in the future, and what's more, he even has a specific one in mind: the 100th, which will happen in 2063.

At that point, Eccleston will be 99 years old, but in 2013, he did state (semi-jokingly, of course), that he would return for the 100th anniversary with his sonic and his stair lift in tow.

It's absolutely ages away yet, but if there's one thing we can say for sure about the 100th anniversary... it's that David Tennant will probably be in it.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too.
