Fan Conspiracy Theory Of The Week

As all you Whovians know, Christopher Eccleston asked Russel T Davies to consider him for the role of the Doctor. After filming, Chris, for whatever reasons, decided he no longer wanted to be a part of the show. He told the team he was leaving, and they had to find a new Doctor. David Tennant was asked, completely out of the blue, because Russel T Davies knew how good an actor he was from working with him on Casanova. And the rest is history!

However, some fans seem to exist in a parallel dimension in which Eccleston was cast NOT because of his tremendous acting ability, but because RTD's first choice, David Tennant, wasn't famous enough yet. So Eccleston did one year as a 'favour' for Russel, while RTD ensured Tennant, in the meantime, rose to enough fame to be cast as the next Doctor.

Oh, and even though Hugh Grant WAS offered the part of the Ninth Doctor, according to this fan, that was 'just a joke'. 

Here are the comments of said fan, who shall remain nameless, as he himself wrote them:


Thay havent asked him or chris ecclstone or eny of the past docs. chris only did the dw job as the bbc wouldnt let david tennent as at the time he was unown thay gave rtd an oltamatum he gets a nown actor or now dw so he askd a faver an chris said yep so was always going to b 1yr
