The Ninth Doctor is an incarnation of the Doctor, the protagonist of
the BBC science fiction television programme Doctor Who. He is
portrayed by Christopher Eccleston during the first series of the
show's revival in 2005. Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a
centuries-old alien Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels in
time and space in the TARDIS, frequently with companions. At the end
of life, the Doctor regenerates; as a result, the physical appearance
and personality of the Doctor changes.The production team's approach
to the character and Eccleston's portrayal were highlighted as being
intentionally different from his predecessors, with Eccleston stating
that his character would be less eccentric. To fit in with a
21st-century audience, the Doctor was given a primary companion, Rose
Tyler, played by Billie Piper, who was designed to be as independent
and courageous as himself. He also briefly travels with Adam Mitchell
(Bruno Langley), a self-serving boy genius who acts as a foil to the
companions but ultimately proves unworthy, and Captain Jack Harkness
(John Barrowman), a reformed con man from the 51st century. The
Doctor, Rose and Jack form a close team but are separated in the
series finale in which each character has to make difficult choices
and face sacrifice.In 2006, readers of Doctor Who Magazine voted
Eccleston's Doctor the third most popular Doctor. Both mainstream
press and science fiction reviewers generally credit Eccleston and his
incarnation of the character as helping to re-establish the show
following its hiatus between 1996 and 2005. The character's
interactions with his arch-enemies, the Daleks, were particularly
praised. Eccleston won several awards for his single series including
the 2005 National Television Award for Best Actor. Ninth Doctor Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
