Former Doctor Who star Christopher Eccleston has revealed one condition that would help draw him back into television series. Eccleston left the show after leading the revival’s first season. The circumstances around his departure created a rift between him the folks running the show, with Eccleston unhappy with how the producers chose to announce and frame his exit. Still, Steven Moffat had hoped to get Eccleston back for the show’s 50th-anniversary special. The episode would have teamed Eccleston with his successors, David Tennant and Matt Smith, playing their respective Doctors. Eccleston declined the role, previously stating that he wasn’t impressed with what the script gave his Doctor. Moffat then created the War Doctor (which Eccleston thinks was an improvement to the story) instead.
