It was kind of tragic for me, that I didn’t play him for longer. He’s a beautiful character and I have a great deal of professional pride and had I done a second season, there would have been a marked improvement in my performance. I was learning new skills, in terms of playing light comedy. I was not known for light comedy and, again, production did not allow for that.

Christopher Eccleston on Doctor Who

The thought of an even better performance than the one we already got makes me mourn his stint being so short even more.
