Christopher Eccleston's Special Message To BFI Attendees

Despite Christopher Eccleston not being at the BFI showing of Bad Wolf & The Parting of the Ways, BFI host Justin Johnson read out a special message from the Ninth Doctor himself:

"I love the BFI. I love The Doctor and hope you enjoy this presentation. Joe Ahearne directed five of the thirteen episodes of the first series. He understood the tone the show needed completely - strong, bold, pacy visuals coupled with wit, warmth and a twinkle in the performances, missus."

"If Joe agrees to direct the 100th anniversary special, I will bring my Sonic and a stair-lift and - providing the Daleks don't bring theirs - I, the Ninth Doctor, vow to save the universe and all you apes in it."

Well, it's good to see Eccleston say another word about Doctor Who, and even say he loves The Doctor. Well, now I'm just going to hope Joe Ahearne gets to direct the 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th, 100th or whateverth anniversary...
