A place to update visitors with the latest news and information about Christopher Eccleston and his work and also to inform visitors about any updates/additions to my Chris related website.
DOCTOR Who star Christopher Eccleston auditioned to be the Time Lord using his nasal hair trimmer as a sonic screwdriver.
BBC chiefs invited the actor for a secret screen test when they revived the sci-fi series in 2005.
Eccleston decided it would be a good idea if he came up with a prop to help get into character.
One of the show's writers, Pete Mctighe recalled: "Christopher brought his nasal hair trimmer along to use as his sonic screwdriver prop and then left it behind."
