In 2013, though approached with a chance to reprise his role in ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'', Christopher Eccleston turned down the offer to return for the fiftieth anniversary. For this reason, the [[regeneration]] of [[John Hurt]]'s [[War Doctor]] into the Ninth Doctor is not shown to completion. The original plan was for the Ninth Doctor to have been the one fighting the Time War, but since Eccleston turned down the offer showrunner [[Steven Moffat]] created the War Doctor character to take his place. However, much like every other Doctor actor before David Tennant, he appeared in archive footage in the special, in the "saving Gallifrey" and ending scenes. | In 2013, though approached with a chance to reprise his role in ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'', Christopher Eccleston turned down the offer to return for the fiftieth anniversary.
