Christopher Eccleston brought us a dancing Doctor in series 1 of the rebooted Doctor Who, but he still wouldn't be our first thought when it comes to potential Strictly Come Dancing contestants.
However, if that day were ever to come, the actor has told Digital Spy he would have one condition for taking to the dance floor.
He was speaking to us about series 2 of The A Word, a BBC drama about a young boy with autism who has a particular fondness for the music of The Undertones and The Buzzcocks.
Self-confessed music 'obsessive' Eccleston revealed his surprise that Strictly bosses used The Buzzcocks' track 'Ever Fallen in Love' for Gemma Atkinson and Aljaz Skorjanec's jive in the Halloween edition of the show.
"Wow!" he said, before joking: "So, Strictly didn't use the Buzzcocks track 'Orgasm Addict' then?!"
That song was banned by the BBC when it was released in 1977.
Eccleston – whose favourite line from the track is: "I'm an orgasm addict, and I'm always at it!" – added: "I'd like to see 'Orgasm Addict' on Strictly Come Dancing. It would bring a whole new meaning to the title Strictly Come Dancing wouldn't it?
"I'll do it if they let me use 'Orgasm Addict'!"
We can't see that happening anytime soon Chris, so maybe don't go out buying those dancing shoes quite yet.
Eccleston's co-star on The A Word, Lee Ingleby, has already told Digital Spy the second series will pick up two years later, with his autistic son Joe aged 7, and it will see the Hughes family facing new challenges.
The A Word series 2 starts on BBC One, Tuesday, November 7 at 9pm.
