Not likely at all, in fact Eccelston has flat out said he doesn’t want to return to do Big Finish at his book signing in Salford tonight. He says he’s very proud of his 13 episodes but he doesn’t wish to go back to the role due to his experiences. Fair enough, but I hold out exhibit A, Mr Tom Baker.

I would love to have him work with Big Finish in any capacity, even if he's not playing Nine. A BF Original, Callan, The Avengers, etc. I think it would be great.

One person changing their mind I don't think means there's less or more chance of someone else doing so. Tom was at least somewhat involved again over the years in playing the role again through Shada's VHS, Dimensions In Time, Doctor Who Night, the Nest Cottage Stories and those computer ads. I don't think he was ever away from the role in the same way that Chris has been.

Once he gets a whiff of a free big finish lunch he will cave in 😉

True, I merely meant that time can change an opinion, and who knows what Chris Eccleston's views on this will be in ten years? Hopefully it won't be jaundiced by ten years of people hounding him to come back.

Hopefully but unlike Tom who seems to have admitted a LOT of the trouble with the way things ended with his tenure was his fault...Chris clearly would never work with RTD, Collison and Gardner again. Of course they don't work for BF but it seems the way things went so sour for him on the show means he struggles to think of it without being reminded of a deeply unhappy time in his life that really impacted his mental health...in some very dark ways. Tom came to terms with his own behaviour and has spent the last decade on his legacy but it's clear he never had as many issues with the show itself as Chris.

Can we please rename the thread 'The inevitable non-return of the Ninth Doctor' and then call it a day?

That's quite possible and is fair enough. Although if Big Finish could tempt Christopher Eccleston to do some non-Doctor audios for them he might enjoy the lunches so much that he changes his mind one day!

That's the post I saw on FB a few days ago. Direct and to the point it seems.

Came across this video in which Eccleston says he would consider offers from Big Finish: youtu.be/jphcEMorm68?t=257Seems he's of two minds about it, giving different answers depending on how he's feeling.

Tried to watch it on my work pc - audio is really bad. :-( It's *really* brief. He’s asked if he’d consider Big Finish audio plays. “Sure, if they make offers, I’ll consider it, yeah.”

It's noncommittal, but also possibly the most positive response I've seen him give on the subject.

I think the most interesting part of the response is he seemed utterly genuine. There was no hint of "Not another one" in his voice or anything. Time will tell, I guess.

I am sure he would know of the reputation BF have, and the strength in their writings . Fingers crossed- I am all for adding more to the BF roster.

I clicked to hear the Big Finish part, next thing I knew I’d watched and enjoyed the whole thing. Made me wonder what I’d say to or ask him if ever I had the chance. As much as I love what he brought to and did for Doctor Who, I think I’d want to ask about the Leftovers. It was such a brilliant, complex and moving show. The episode in the first season that focussed on his character in particular was just magnificent, as was Christopher in it.

I told people of that statement before, but then people claimed it wasn't real. BF says there is another audio project for Time Lord Victorious, maybe he will be in it.
Funny thing is, I bet if he started doing audios, his Doctor probably will then become the longest living Doctor because of demand/interest lol
