Quote from Tommy Cocket, author of The Ghost of Benji O'Neil:
"David Tennant was spotted by both Wildcat Theatre Co and 7:84 Theatre Co during the run and signed by 7:84 for productions as soon as his student days at RSAMD were over. It would be fair to say that he inspired the young people involved in The Ghost of Benjy O'Neil in his attitude to hard work, his personality and patience and his friendly nature as well as his obvious talent, even at the age of 19/20."
