Why not re cast the 9th doctor?

Chris has sent messages to sick kids, proposed marriage for a fan in-character, chats and signs for Who fans when he appears in theatre, took the meeting with Moffat to discuss the 50th rather than rejecting it out of hand....but sure. He's disrespectful.

He's a man who likes to move on and isn't too fussed about the fame or the attention. He's one of the country's very best actors and I'm so glad we had him for 13 episodes. The revival needed someone as renowned and as legit as Chris to catch the public imagination in 2005 and he succeeded massively.

I hope Chris doesn't know there's a nasty sub-section of "fans" who think because he doesn't want to play the role again he's persona non grata. Refusing to even use his name like the poster above? Childish, entitled nonsense.

He has in fact done numerous appearances in character for sick kids and such, snuck the Who references into his Heroes performance himself (they weren't in the script), and has always been a good sport about things.

I don't understand why people feel personally insulted by the man wanting to do other stuff than Who.

I think he must have been talking about someone else. But the only one I can think of wasn't from the Ninth Doctor era.

Rome wasn't built in a day... it took Tom Baker around twelve years to do Fourth Doctor audio adventures for Big Finish. 

Personally I find the desire some seem to have for 9th Doctor stories lacking the 9th Doctor a little...strange, the 9th Doctor's brief era mostly works (i.m.o) because of Eccleston's wonderful performance anchoring the storylines, writing around his abscence and expanding an already tightly plotted era merely to tick a box just dosen't interest me that much, I sometimes get the impression fans feel personally slighted by Eccleston's understandable, personal desire to move onto other projects and forget to appreciate what he as a non-fan actor has already given us, just because you can do something, dosen't mean you should.

Imagine 8 or War Doctor audios without McGann or Hurt...

It's easy to forget just how spoiled we are by the sheer amount of wonderful stories BF has already given us, and personally I'm happy to wait for the 9th Doctor 'proper' on audio, as the absence of further stories makes his era even more special...

(From a personal point of view, if 9DA with Rose were to happen I'm worried than the likely call for 10DA/Rose stories would undermine potential 9DA's)

I've only heard two or three companion chronicles and a i very much liked what I heard,but  my problem with CC 9 stories is that by and large the companion chronicles served to expand on the companions themselves and/or give us their point of view, rather than expand on the doctor himself, this isn't a bad thing by any means, but for me personally Eccleston was the main reason the 9th Doctor era works, and given his more limited screentime, seeming reluctance to reprise the role and the Rose centric point of view of Series 1, if BF were to do more stories with 9 I'd be more interested in them taking him into new areas rather than simply filling in the gaps.

Speaking as someone who only follows a limited amount of BF's output, and a relative newcomer to the audio drama medium, I'm also a tad doubtful that Eccleston-less 9th Dr audio stories would be hugely popular with the fanbase, on other forums I've seen more than a few huge Tennant fans on the fence about the 10DA's and they actually had him in them...

I think if they can get Billy a set of ninth doctor companion chronicles could be ideal.

That's a big if though.

For a moment there, reading your post, I was thinking "Who?"

Then I realized you meant Billie, as in Billie Piper, not some guy named Billy.

That seems inevitable for a future 10DA volume.
