Back in Time is a Doctor Who fansite dedicated to the Ninth Doctor, his companions - especially Rose - and their adventures across the galaxy through time and space.
While Eccleston dined with his wife in a New York cafe, a young man asked for his help in surprising his girlfriend with a marriage proposal. Eccleston agreed to play the Doctor for the occasion.
When asked whether he felt he had taken the character of The Doctor as far as he could Eccleston is reported as having said, somewhat surprisingly, ‘no.’
