I am hopefully going to get the chance to talk to Jodie in the next couple of months(Denver fan fest), and I am going ask her how she tolerated the writers for her episodes. (I have a bit to figure out how word that nicely.
She is probably my second favorite Dr to Tennant, FWIW.
I need to rewatch Jodie’s seasons again. Thought she was a brilliant actor doing the best she could with the script/stories presented. No idea how things got so bad but she was one of the few good things about those days.
She won’t talk negatively about them. None of them will. Not for not wanting to, I’m sure - but out of professionalism. I don’t think any of the previous actors would either. Although…maybe Eccleston would (the twat)…
He played a character on a TV show 20 years ago. That doesn’t in any way obligate him to “show up as the Doctor” for fan events, nor does it indicate his “dislike for the show”.
There is certainly a twat at play here, but it isn’t Eccleston.
Exactly. How he was treated by the producers and showrunner back when he played the part, and by some entitled fans who seem to think they somehow still have a perpetual lease on him and his time twenty years later.
He was like that even while playing the role, he’s been a twat for all 20 of those years. He refused to take part in the anniversary specials, he was a dickhead when he was on set according to people who worked with him. He’s always been a prick of an actor.

Dude, what is your beef with Eccleston?
His refusal to show up as the doctor for anything fan related, his own dislike for the show, etc. He’s a twat.

He also has done a bunch of conventions and returned to play the Doctor for Big Finish multiple times lol.
As far as I can tell he has no problem with the role or the fans, he just has a beef withe the BBC/Russell T. Davies over how he was treated.

You’ll find the general opinion of Eccleston runs contrary to yours, and manages to do so without the pottymouth.
Oh no, not pottymouth on the internet…
Grow up.
