I know, it’s a little early for language. But I can’t sugarcoat how I felt – and expressed to a colleague on WhatsApp – when I heard that Christopher Eccleston was returning to the worlds of Doctor Who, over a decade after leaving under a (well-documented) cloud.
While his attitude to Who had definitely thawed over the years, it still felt unthinkable that he’d feel comfortable enough to come back (albeit in audio drama form), let alone headline a whole series of adventures.
But come back he did – and now, many months later fans can finally see (or rather, hear) the results in The Ninth Doctor Adventures: Ravagers, a three-part story from Big Finish that sees Eccleston’s Time Lord tangling with terrifying monsters, deadly drones, Roman soldiers and (most terrifying of all) a Gaming CEO in a complex, twisty adventure.
