Writer and executive producer Russell T. Davies had Christopher Eccleston's name on a shortlist for the role of the Doctor, but didn't really think that he would accept the role because of his reputation as a very serious actor with a background in hard-hitting dramas. However, Eccleston was such a big fan of Davies as a writer that he got in contact to ask if he could audition for the part. Eccleston had not been a fan of the original series, so he watched Doctor Who: The Talons of Weng-Chiang: Part One (1977), one of the most popular serials from the original run and a particular favorite of Davies's for the quality of its dialogue, as part of his preparation.
