Being granted an interview with Christopher Eccleston would always be a big deal; for a Doctor Who fan who was introduced to the show through the Ninth Doctor, however, it’s doubly so. It’s fair to say that, without Eccleston (alongside many others, notably former showrunner Russell T Davies and ex-producers, Julie Gardner and Phil Collinson), the Doctor Who Companion website wouldn’t be…
