<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">In 2007 The Sun used it twice and also The People and The Daily Mirror, to be fair to the Mirror the phrase was the opening line of the article and not the headline.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">In 2009 it was a headline in The Coventry Telegraph and The Daily Record.</span></span></span><br />

NME, which stands for New Music Express, is the leading British music magazine and has been around since the 60's.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">The interview took place in September 2006 while the band was in the recording studio. He was asked if he based his look on them, which he said he did and the band were asked if they were fans of the show and David was asked if he was a fan of the band - yes and yes!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Both the band and David were asked where in music history would they take the TARDIS and a discussion of the Beatles turned into a discussion of <i>Murder She Wrote</i>??! In the end David decided he'd like to go back and stop Lennon from being shot.</span></span></span><br />

In next week's hour-long special, it's a race against time to catch Steve Clemens (
David Tennant
), a man suspected of abducting a 15-year-old schoolgirl.

For Shaun Scott who plays DI Deakin and Kerry Peers who plays DI Croft, it was one of the most demanding episodes of
their career. Deakin and Croft team up after a young girl leaves a terrified message on her parents' answerphone.

When they discover the girl is locked in an airtight van, it becomes a race against time to find her before her oxygen
runs out.
Kerry reckons the storyline required maximum concentration. "Croft says very little throughout and that makes it tougher.
I had to get everything she thought and felt into her expression," says Kerry.
<br />
<br />
Shaun also says the episode was fascinating to play. "It's tremendous to get a storyline like this where you're in almost every scene," he says.
"Everybody likes being the centre of attention now and again."

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">The programme aired March 30, 2007, the night before the third series debuted. The bloopers from that night also turned up on Outtakes TV and David filmed part of his video diary backstage on the night and appears on the Doctor Who Complete Third Series DVD, Disc 4 Special</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">In his diary he worries that he might go on telly and look like a 'bit of an idiot' - while David did very well, me made it almost to the end, he was voted out by Noel and Camille Coduri, who battled to the end and Camille won £16,500 for her charities. David did make one major flub concerning the capitol of Denmark which I am sure he will never forget is Copenhagen!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anne: "So David, does the Doctor not travel in Northern Europe?</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">David: "I'm so humiliated I said Bruge, I'm never going to live that down am I?</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">We also got some great singing from Noel and John!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Poor Tracy-Anne Oberman had just become a new Mom at the time of the filming and wrote this in The Guardian on November 28, 2012:</span></span></span><br />

David Tennant
smiled sympathetically while I randomly shouted "bank!", pressed all the wrong buttons and practically knocked over
my podium - that I realised things might be going pear-shaped in the brain department. By eight o'clock I was breaking into
a cold sweat, unable to remember my own name, let alone those of my fellow contestants. By the time the penetrating ginger-gaze
of Annie Robinson lasered in on me, all I could hear in my head was her barking: "Tracy-Ann Oberman. You are the fattest link.
Goodbye!"

The story concerns the first five incarnations of the Doctor being plucked from time and space and deposited in the Dead Zone on Gallifrey. The Brigadier, Sarah Jane, K-9, Romana and even Bessie make an appearance as well. We also get the Master and the Cybermen for baddies and other past companions make an appearance like Zoe and Jaimie. William Hartnell had passed away by the time the special was made so he was portrayed by Richard Hurndall and Tom Bake declined to take part so his appearance is from footage from the unseen (at that time) episode called <i>Shada</i>.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">So what has all this got to do with David Tennant, I hear you cry, well in 2008 the BBC released a new special edition DVD of The Five Doctors to commemorate the 25th anniversary of it's broadcast AND David recorded a special commentary track for it. So there!</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">The special commentary features David, Doctor Who producer Phil Collinson and Doctor Who script editor and writer Helen Raynor. In order to find the Easter Egg track you have to go to the Special Features menu, go down to Companions Commentary and click right
on your remote, when you see the green doctor who logo, click it.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Some of David's quotes from the track:</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">"I'm David Tennant and I play or played the 10th Doctor, who doesn't appear in this."</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">"As a 12 year old child, when this came on the television, it was one of the most exciting things that had ever happened."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">David couldn't be home on the night it aired live and "I thought I was going to pass out" because he was going to miss the biggest Doctor Who event - EVER! Their family didn't have a video recorder so he asked his neighbors to tape it for him!</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">This was David's first appearance in public with his full beard, which he grew for <i>Recovery</i>. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">NEW Doctor Who David
Tennant
has swapped his clean-cut, pinstripe-suited geek chic look for a hairy new bohemian image moustache, beard and red
velvet jacket.
</span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
"It's my new look do you like it?" twinkled David,<strong> </strong>Meanwhile, he confided that he has not yet signed up for a second series as the Timelord though he would like to.
</span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
"I'd be very happy to do more but it's up to the BBC. It's not cut and dried, " he told us at the Masterclass benefit
event at London's Theatre Royal Haymarket, where he accompanied his friend Adam James, whose girlfriend, Olivia Darnley, is
in the play.
Clearly enjoying himself as the 10th Doctor, David added:
</span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
"I've been overwhelmed by the response and the Doctor Who fans have been great.
I don't mind the attention.

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">David got to do loads of really cool things in connection with being The Doctor, his first appearance in front of a big crowd was on November 17, 2005 when he and Billie Piper got to switch on the Cardiff Christmas lights. Not surprisingly the event was covered in the South Wales Echo but prior to Doctor Who fever I doubt the Cardiff switch on ever got covered in the Liverpool Daily Post! Not to be left out the Swindon papers also covered the switch on - which should be no surprise since this is Billie's hometown.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">The event was also broadcast live on Welsh TV.</span></span></span><br />

Billie, who has been filming with her new co-star in

, said she had been overwhelmed by her welcome to the city, which celebrates its centenary year this year.
She said: 'I've had the warmest welcome, it's been really lovely. It's all been great, we're having such a great time
here at the moment.
'Everybody's been very nice, we walk down the street and everybody says hello.'
</span></span></span>

David said: 'I'm having a great time. It's very nice and quite overwhelming to be here.'

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Billie revealed how her favourite scene in the sci-fi smash hit show will be broadcast over
Christmas
and will involve being attacked by a
Christmas
tree.
Speaking from the stage outside City Hall, she said: 'That's pretty exciting and quite threatening and scary at the
same time.'
</span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
The pair then counted down from 10 to one and shouted 'Nadolig Llawen, Happy

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was also coverage in the other Cardiff paper, The Western Mail, they printed Billie's entire quote:</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Cardiff
is like my home town now - I have been here for about two years. We have the warmest welcome wherever we go, it's been
really lovely.
'You have been so generous, giving up your streets and restaurants for us to film.
'It's all been great, we're having such a great time here at the moment, everyone is being so nice and so friendly."</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">They also had more of what David said as well:</span></span></span><br />

said, 'I'm having a great time in

</span></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b></b>'I'm having a miserable time - Max Boyce is taking over as the new Doctor,' he joked, before adding, 'I'm having a ball,
I get to hang out with Billie Piper, it's a great time.
'Every day is different, the other day we were hanging 30ft in the air, although I can't tell you why." </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">That appearance also generated some foolish gutter press about David and his friend Louise Delam<span style="font-size: large;">e</span>re, who accompanied him that evening and also an item about Amy Nuttal from <i>Emmerdale </i>making a pass at David - and thus it began - David and foolish items in the great British Press - the downside of being the next Doctor!</span></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-577216473351000909.post-10286575905867881822012-12-31T06:21:00.002-08:002012-12-31T06:21:26.873-08:00December 31, 2012<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">We all know what an amazing theatre actor David is but he also enjoys a night out at the theatre either to support his mates while they tread the boards or just to see a great actor perform - sometimes they are even one and the same.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately once the news broke that he was about to become the 10th Doctor he couldn't just turn up at a performance and quietly take his seat. The first hint that perhaps his life might never be the same was on May 17, 2005, just a couple of weeks after the big press announcement, he attended the opening night of <i>Death of a Salesman</i> starring the American actor Brian Dennehy.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">The press was there in force and as usual they want to ask about anything buy the play. Dame Judy Dench was also in attendance and was asked to comment about Pop Idol winner Will Young's nude scene in the film she was currently filming with him - she did not comment.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Following in Dame Judy's footsteps when David was asked about the current to do in the press concerning the censorship if Doctor Who DVD's, he tactfully replied:</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Ever the diplomat, she would not be drawn on Young's nude scene. David
Tennant
, the new Doctor Who, is also a diplomat. Asked if he agreed with the censors banning children from buying DVDs of the
new series because of cruelty to Daleks, he said: "Please don't ask me anything difficult."

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">When David was in LA filming <i>LA Without a Map</i> he made friends with Johnny Depp, who had a cameo appearance in the film.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">"He (Johnny Depp) even invited him as guest of honour at the notorious Viper Room, which he owns. <br /><br />David said: "It was Hogmanay, Run-DMC were playing in this club, which holds only 150 people. <br /><br />"The security was fierce and the bouncer couldn't find my name amongst this sheet of around 20 bits of paper. <br /><br />"He was telling me I wasn't on it and I was praying that Johnny had put me on the list - it would have been so embarrassing as there was this massive queue of people, all trying to get in. <br /><br />"But eventually the guy found it and I ended up rubbing shoulders with Hollywood for a night. It was fantastic." - The Daily Record - March 16, 1998</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">I can't even begin to picture David in a club with Run DMC! But this party description from 1992 is even weirder! While it doesn't name David I will assume he was one of the cast that turned up!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Even by the anarchic standards of Hogmanay in Edinburgh, the party held at the Off-Centre Club, based in the 369 Gallery in the Cowgate, was memorably bizarre. <br /><br />Billed as a Time Machine party, it was hosted by Roxy, the capital city's father of punk who appears exclusively during the hours of darkness, a Proustian eccentricity which has given rise to much sinister speculation. <br /><br />Arrivals first had to negotiate their way past Roxanne (not to be confused with Roxy the host), a female bouncer imported from Brixton's Fridge nightclub who sported a ring through her nose and was encumbered by fetters (quite right, too, Cockburn thought too many employers these days allow their staff excessive liberty). <br /><br />Roxy himself was resplendent in a mauve hunting coat and floral waistcoat from Vivienne Westwood's Dangerous Liaisons collection, a gift from the fashion queen herself. He received more than 400 guests, supported by Stuart Forbes, owner of the Off-Centre club. <br /><br />``People are fed-up with hard-core music," declared Roxy. ``Why shouldn't things be colourful in Edinburgh? Tonight's themes are Caribbean and Ibiza, tartan and glamour." <br /><br />Everybody on the dance floor seemed to be wearing tartan. ``Scottish nationalism is bringing kilts back into fashion again," announced Colin Veitch. <br /><br />Morag Deyes, a dancer with Welsh National Opera, had come from Bath; Janet Lorimer, the painter, was flaunting her Andrew Logan brooch; and Brian Loudon, manager of the Lyceum theatre, turned up with some of the cast of Shinda the Magic Ape. Nobody recalls the bacon sandwiches served at 5am." </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />"It's difficult to describe your own personality. I'd say tall, skinny and Scottish. That's the basic design of me and pretty accurate actually. I'm not painting a pretty picture am I? Shall I lie? I'm devastatingly handsome - honest." - July 23, 2002 - The Metro</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Dom Joly has got a bee in his bonnet about the "quote of the day" on the BBC news website. "Quote of the Day from David Tennant on the BBC Website.....gripping stuff....anyone else think he's a touch over-exposed?" asked Joly on Twitter.
And later: "David Tennant's gripping quote still up as Quote of the day
on BBC news Website - someone please say something
interesting...quick." And then, earlier today: "David Tennant still up
on BBC News Website for third day running with dullest quote of the day
ever..." he tweets. Three days running? Well it IS Christmas. Anyway,
here's the quote. "I remember having a big Scalextric and my auntie
helping me build it - then I was upstairs for the rest of the day
playing with it." Joly may have a point." - The Guardian - December 30, 2009</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">I don't actually know what I'm doing for Christmas yet. That's a debate that has to be had with various family members. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'm
not quite sure what we're doing yet. But I'm sure I'll be with some
family and friends. That's how everyone should spend Christmas, right? </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's
a big family occasion. I remember having a big Scalextric and my auntie
helping me build it - then I was upstairs for the rest of the day
playing with it. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">AND the only reason it was up for three days was the fact it was the Christmas Hols and so that feature wasn't updated! </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">In The Independent, April 13, 2009 he admits that he doesn't like Doctor Who but he does now like DT because he has no interest in football - a non-interest shared by Dom himself. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Last week on Five Live, the presenter Colin Murray, who is an
unstoppable "Who do you support?" merchant, asked the current Doctor
Who, David Tennant, the question. He sheepishly admitted that he didn't
have much interest in the game. "How about golf or croquet?" persisted
Murray, insinuating that having no interest in the game is a sort of
class decision.</span></span></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was a pretty good, informed interview until then, but suddenly the
rapport disintegrated and it all ground to a halt. I don't like Doctor
Who as a programme (there's another conversation stopper) but I really
like Tennant now – I feel a kinship with him that was sorely lacking
when he was just slaying Daleks."</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Finally in October of 2010 when he actually got to meet him and see him perform on the boards he gets it!!! They both took part in Celebrity Autobiography at the Leicester Square Theatre on October 6th.</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">This was the press release from the BBC:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <img alt="David Tennant" height="327" src="http://www.radiotimes.com/rt-service/image/render/David_Tennant.jpg?imageUrl=http://node2.bbcimg.co.uk/iplayer/images/episode/b00plx4s_640_360.jpg&width=580&height=327&quality=85&specialisation=tv&mode=crop" width="580" /></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">"There's a Christmas Eve treat for young story-lovers when Doctor Who
star David Tennant swaps the Tardis for the Bedtime Story chair and
breathes life into the enchanting seasonal tale of <i>The Christmas Bear by
Henrietta and Paul Stickland.
</i></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's Christmas Eve and Bear Cub leaves his parents in their den to go
out exploring. Falling into a big, bright hole in the snow, Cub finds
himself in Santa's workshop and at the start of a wonderful Christmas
adventure. From the post room to the wrapping room, Cub is given a
whistle-stop tour of the Christmas present process – with a tantalising
glimpse of the toy-testing room. But Cub is disappointed when it's time
to leave – until Santa gives him the best present of all...
</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">David Tennant reads four more stories during the festive season: <i>How
High Is The Sky</i> by Anna Milbourne, illustrated by Serena Riglietti;
<i>Small Mouse, Big City</i> by Simon Prescott; <i>Emily Brown And The Elephant
Emergency</i> by Cressida Cowell and Neal Layton; and <i>Miki </i>by Stephen
Mackey." </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Other Doctor Who/David Tennant costars have read stories too - Alex Kingston, John Simm, Freema Agyeman and John Barrowman<b>.</b></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b>". . .during his charming stewardship of CBeebies'
Bedtime Stories
, in which he reads short tales for children aged six and younger. Gathering garlands at the RSC one day, pretending
to talk to an elephant on a toy telephone the next - is there nothing this man can't do?"
- The Scotsman - December 26, 2009 - Paul Whitelaw</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Did you know that since The Christmas Bear was read both on Christmas Eve and later in the week the story had to dofferent introductions, one where David wishes us a Merry Christmas Eve and wrapping his last present for Christmas tomorrow and the other where he is warming his hands on the fire and wondereing who wraps the presents for Father Christmas - check them out below.</span></span></span><br />
