Eccleston’s Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Story Supports Multiverse Theory
Christopher Eccleston has revealed details of his involvement in Doctor Who's 60th anniversary, and it supports the idea of the TARDIS traveling the multiverse. Since his departure after only one season in 2005, Christopher Eccleston is yet to return to screens as the Ninth Doctor. He briefly considered a part in the show's 50th anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor, but ultimately turned it down. He's returned to the role for Big Finish studios, recording new audio adventures as the Ninth Doctor. It's through these audios that Eccleston will celebrate Doctor Who's 60th anniversary in 2023.
On stage at a convention, Eccleston teased his upcoming 60th anniversary story, stating that he'll be starring alongside cult-favorite actor David Warner. Warner has had a long history in sci-fi and fantasy, with multiple roles in Star Trek and Doctor Who to his name. Warner has even played the Doctor himself in several audios for Big Finish, and it's presumably this alternate Doctor that will meet Eccleston's incarnation in 2023.

The David Warner incarnation of the Doctor and his «unbound» universe has a surprisingly long history in Doctor Who spin-off media and suggests that Doctor Who's 60th anniversary will enter the multiverse.
