Christopher Eccleston to Return as the 9th Doctor in a New Series of Audio Dramas

Christopher Eccleston was the actor who brought the Doctor into the modern era, but his tenure was short and (to many) controversial, and it wouldn’t have been surprising to see him never reprise his role.

This Doctor Who Sliding Puzzle Game Is Driving Me Insane and I Can’t Stop Playing It

I’m sorry, but if I see Patrick Troughton’s face ever again, it will be too soon. Doctor Who’s latest attempt to distract us all from the, well, World in Which We Live is not a new piece of short fiction, or a tiny slice of audio-drama fun, but instead a procrastination nightmare from which I…
