Christopher Eccleston claims he was tricked into referencing DoctorWho in later TV roles

Christopher Eccleston fans baffled by his 'dodgy' Northern Irish accent in Come Home

“I wasn’t going to do that, I didn’t appreciate the self-referencing element. How was that going to help me create a new character?” Eccleston putting his foot down not only rattled the producers, but it ultimately failed, as they found other ways to give a nod to the Doctor. “My objection made them sit up a little – ‘This guy has got a mind of his own.’ And one of the worst things you can have as an actor is a mind of your own,” Eccleston continued.

“They inserted the line ‘Fantastic!’ into the script. I didn’t realise until too late that it was a trope from Doctor Who.”
