See, Russell said that after you watch it the first time and you know all the details, but really the nice thing about Doctor Who is that there are a lot of episodes that you can watch over and over and over and still not fully understand, so you watch it for the second or even third or fourth time and there's still something you see that you didn't before. That's part of the reason it's so fun to watch.
I love that after so much commercial success, and at the height of so much publicity, Russel Davies still talks about his craft like a truly passionate artist, with real artistic integrity. That's refreshing.
David Tennant is hands down my favorite actor in existence!! but i have to tip my hat to Matt Smith because he will always be my Doctor. But on the other hand...Tennant was absolutely brilliant! So both are very loved in my heart! :)
for all the people saying you rather see David not be in Hollywood.....YOU AINT AMERICAN!! him being in Hollywood is the only way i can see him! i love all the stuff he does but its feaking hard to watch! hopefully he will get a amazing role in a good Hollywood film!
I have Single Father and I absolutely love every moment of it!!! I agree with David and Russell about knowing about a film, really I don't want to know so I can be surprised and shocked by the movie or show. I hate it when the plot is given away!!! I loved every time I saw a new show of Doctor Who because it was always new and exciting!! I would have loved to seen David and Russell at the 2009 Comic Con!!! I watched Doctor Who when I was a kid and Tom Baker was my Doctor and now David is!!
@lestat1468 The shows not that bad its kind of like books turning into movies its two different things...It could have been alot worse and the new doctor has the weirdness too like David. I wouldn't say its shit i would say its differnt but not a bad different.
I have been a Dr.Who fan since I was 2 years old, I first had mixed feelings about the 2005 series and didn't really like the 9th Doctor so when he left and David Tennant took over I was even more skeptical, but is was Tennant that really made the series move who-ish and he reminded me alot of Tom Baker's version of The Doctor. So when Tennant left I was very sad. To make it worse I HATE Matt Smith LOL I think he's bad for the show.
I was miserable to see David go, I was crying, and cursing Russell for making that last stupid episode so sad before I remembered that Moffat is a genius. He can write in a loophole without making it seem like an overt one and there is still the clone that they left with Rose. I'll bet you anything that Steven could write it in if he wanted to, and we could get David back. They brought back Billie Piper for a few episodes, they can bring back my Doctor. :P Haha! My fangirl hope is not yet dead!
David was my first doctor and is my favorite doctor... he was amazing and showed a side of the doctor that i came to love...so well done sir well done...
Yes David why did you leave?! Thats what I love the British entertainment biz, they dont milk it. Leave em wanting more really works. Plus I heard it was bloody hard work !
WAARM AND EFFULGENT....nice vocab david....it's all quite awkward though isn't it? Russell seems like a deer caught in the headlights in every interview i've seen...god love him...it's nice to know that these talented and successful people are still just people
Just saw David Tennant in "Single Father". Fantastic work, simply superb. You'd never get a role like that in Hollywood. I'd rather see Tennant as a working actor in quality roles, than a Hollywood star.
@TheSeverusSnape I fully agree with you in that David has done brilliant work without being in Hollywood!! I'd rather see him in work like Single Father, United, & his various other projects like Decoy Bride. He is such a talented actor both in Theatre & TV that I think he won't have to wait long for work!! Quality work is better than being in Hollywood too many remakes, movies that are over done like Friday the 13, & Halloween Ugh! There is no variety, imagination, & no guts to be different.
@ryumega Check out the clip of David in 'Rex Is Not Your Lawyer' and decide for yourself. He's had a lot of bad press for that accent, but then, journalists don't think that a story about how good DT is at accents would be quite as readable! You know; bad press is so much more... fun?! I hate the press - and I used to work for a newspaper!
@havering1 David Tennant got no bad "press" at all. Bloggers are not press. And for the record, I have seen the entire pilot and NBC was very high on it when it was presented The problem was they saw it in November - much sooner than they normally see pilots and network executives are fickle - especially at NBC where they're skittish about making a wrong step (which causes them to make more wrong steps). By then they had JJ Abrams, things got very cutthroat and Rex got lost in the shuffle.

These two really make great television together. Russell will come up with something to involve David, again. Even if its only 1 episode of a new series. Or a recurring character, perhaps.
Does anyone else find it a bit odd becoming accustomed to seeing David without the sideburns? Or is that just me?
@TheMsYvie The last Doctor... You mean the actor that follows whoever replaces Matt Smith(#11)?
12 regenerations = 13 Doctors... Unless the duplicate from Journey's End counts... Does he count? Even David Tennant doen't know if his own double counts. lol
I miss David, but he deserves the break. It's good that he gets to be a fan again; no pressure that way. And obviously he's just been a really good sport about leaving behind the legacy to Smith. I'm happy to call the 10th my Doctor.
@kibalover224 I hope you kept watching. I felt the same way but he did finally become the Doctor for me in the last episode of series 5. He was good in that episode.
i love matt smith but david was MY doctor!! :( When you here Russell talk you can so tell he wrote for the doctor! He put his voice in it so much! haha
Chris regenerated, and I felt like I could never accept David as The Doctor. And then one season later I was totally drawn into David's amazing portrayal. Now I've almost forgotten about Chris.
And then David regenerated and it was an incredible scene.
Excellent video interview. David & Russell you are to be congratulated on a very informative, tactful and memory-making interview and /or follow-up to the years that you both participated in Dr. Who.
To the person or persons that recorded and/or prepared this video --kudos and many thanks.
Good grief. Look at all the wankers posting here. Shame you have to wade through all the hate speech just to enjoy a DW interview. David Tennant isn't a fake, I've seen interviews he did when he was in his 20's and the man hasn't changed a bit.
This interview was done along side Comic-Con. Everyone was overloaded by how massive and exaushting the event was. Search for other interviews or watch a DW confidential if you want something regular.
I'm going to miss them both so much, but David Tennant had an alright replacement. Matt Smith is great, but Steven Moffat as the main writer???!!! WHY????????
RTD brought the show back and made it as successful as it is today. EVERYONE was saying Moffat is bttr, Moffat is bttr. Yes his eps in the seris were usually bttr than RTD's, but he hasn't been xec producer or head writer long enough 4 ppl 2 judge him yet. I still believe in Moffat, but Series 5 Eps 2 + 3 don't inspire confidence. Sorry for the rant I just get sick of ppl slamming RTD
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Chris Ecclestone - again, no respect. Who does Doctor Who for a year ? And Davies says he didn't want to upset children ? Why have two men kissing on teatime television in Torchwood then ? That was shit too.
@Nautilus1972 Why would two men kissing upset children? At least, if a man and woman kissing isn't upsetting, then why would two men kissing be? The only reason it would be upsetting is if their parents told them it should be, which is ridiculously bad parenting IMHO.
Anyway, back on topic, I'm going to miss David so much. From the few episodes with Matt Smith, and based on the year with Chris Eccleston, I can honestly say David was my absolute favorite Doctor.
@IceMetalPunk I'm sorry but most ppl who knock RTD do it bcos they say he has a gay agenda. He hasn't hes just reflecting society today, and not in a PC way if a characteris gay its just there, it isn't really a big deal in his stories. Ppl always cite Captain Jack when they give this argument, but really Jack is just John Barrowman being himself
@Nautilus1972 Torchwood was never meant 4 children that why it was post watershed. Torchwood started off rocky but got bttr + bttr check out Children of Earth. Eccelston was a good Dr so it doesn't really matter
Russell Davies does not know what he's talking about - there was little respect for the history of the series. A robot remote-controlled operation of the Tardis ? Please. RTD's over-seeing of Dr Who was a travesty. His scripts were shit and he took the michael out of the series. Queers in space. Be gone. C'mon Moffat, bring respect back to the Doctor !
@Nautilus1972 Queers in space? His scripts werer shit? did you watch doomsday? or the finale to the end of time? I have never seen any queers in space.
@227060 Please refrain from commenting when you havent grasped the full facts or even botherd to read the full comment properly and clearly.A user suggested that RTD wrote queers in space and watching Dr Who, I can see no queers in space.
@jazpyy I apologise I believed u were suggesting the things u were questioning and on closer inspection I realise u were doing the complete opposite and seem 2 share similar sentiments 2 myself. Although while it is true some characters in RTD's (and other writers') scripts set off Earth were indeed homo or bi sexual (or omni if it featured Jack) it is not really grounds for criticism.
@Nautilus1972 YeahMoffat respect the series. Get rid of the old Daleks that at looked alot like the orignals so u can get some more marketable ones. 2 b fair its only been 3 eps I'm still willing 2 give hiom a chance. He did respect the old series he updated it so new fans can get on board and the continuity of his stories was pretty sound with the old series. HIs eps were well written and whats wrong with 'queers in space', hoefully by whatever century there'd b a bit more tolerance
Doctor who really is one of the greatest classics and thank you to this team for making it all it could be --- the hero "myth" is beautifully personified in dr who--- a few superheroes hit that spot for the unconscious urge for the saviour the hero...... this is one of them and it was wonderfully done
@beyondallillusions I love super heroes but when Dr who came back in 2005 I realised he was actually greater than the like sof Supoerman (the most pwerful), Spider-Man (the most relatable and my fav) or even Batman (the coolest of the cool) bcos hes a guy who saves the universe (quite routinly) and he does it all without throwing a single punch
After Christopher left I thought the same thing, but now after David was on for such a long time IMO he is the only Doctor. I will truly miss David as Dr Who.
@Prence Chirstopher was my 1st Dr (excepting clips I'd glanced at) and I was really worried when he left. But David just blew every1 else out of the water, he is the defining Doctor of my generation, in yrs 2 come ppl will talk of him the same way Tom Baker was spoken of b4 2005. I can't say anything bad aboout Chris though, David just exceeded him. Smith is actually good too, not as good but worthy successor
@Prence He's not the "Only" Doctor. There were 9 before David. 1- William Hartnell 2- Patrick Troughton 3- Jon Pertwee 4- Tom Baker 5- Peter Davison 6- Colin Baker 7- Selvester McCoy 8- Paul McGann 9- Christopher Eccleston
@Prence this happened in the old days, too - each was Doctor for about three years, and eveyrone said, "they'll never replace him" but they managed it each time - it just takes some adjusting to. Chris Ecclestone didn't really stay long enough to imprint himself as "the" Doctor, so for you young 'uns. this will be your first time/
@franl155 I know they replace the Doctor, and I know the men who play the Doctor only do so for a short time. I'm saying that IMO FOR ME DAVID IS THE ONLY DOCTOR! Many will come and go but David is the only one that has done so the best.. You may not agree with me but I stand by what I said.
@Prence *s* know what you mean! I still haven't decided who my very best-ever Doctor is yet - David or Tom. No doubt that DT's are the best shows ever [so far!]- FX, music, the technology is awesome, the writing is allowed to go into areas previously forbidden - it all came together beautifully and DT crowned it marvellously. But Doctor Who was always cutting-edge, even back in the 60s!

What a pair of unconvincing self praising dorks. DR who is not even Russell T. Davis's creation, he simply hijacked the show and stamped his bloated ego print all over it. What the Fck does he know? Most of his shows are derivative dross and flops. Who's he to decide what is "scary" for kids or not? The pair of them made me want to puke with their nervous glances to one another. Tennant obviously terrified of saying the wrong thing and becoming a jobbing actor once more. Davis's ego...ugh.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@Chichiproductions1 geniuius scriptwriter? Russell Davis? Get real. Dr Who is no better than an average ep of any tv soap. Take a look at Davis's back catalogue - he's put some shit on the small screen. Viva Las Vegas for Coronation Street in the UK . Take a look - Davis is all Emperors New Clothes with buddies in the media pushing his shit. He'll be calling himself the new Dennis Potter soon. Wake up wont you? He's all smoke and mirrors that's his genius. He's the Wizard of Oz.
If you're going to comment, learn to spell and consider your sentence structure. Oh and learn some new insults, telling people to 'wake up' loses it's impact pretty quickly.
Um, why would he write it if he thought it was bad?
In control of what? Do tell as I find your opinion most extraordinarily interesting.
i realise kids probably on this page so i will be discreet, but i just wanted to know, i'm watchin queer as folk on utube shows and saw russel t davies wrote it, not that it has any bearing on anything, but he didnt strike me as writing from experience, if he isn't, is "queer as folk" totally off the mark in regards to the social scene it presents, that's why i wondered, is it realistic or has he just been on one night out and taped a few conservations?
@bryngOneOn: UK QaF (not sure how much control of content he had on US Qaf) was inspired by/ based on 15+yrs of his own experience clubbing/ being on the queer scene; so while it's certainly not representative of the entire "social scene", it is realistic to a particular experience of particular segments of that scene
in that case he was probably the big , flabby bloke who when he's told back at the flat nothing was going to happen , bed wise, and he goes "ooooh i was really looking forward to that" who disguised his true body with that hilarious body armour pads that make you look like your buff with a six pack and pecs. i giggled so much at that , do some people actually think stuff like that fools people, thanks for replying by the way
I've just got really hyped for the Doctor Who universe now. I just heard that Torchwood is definatly getting a series 4 as well as a spin off set in America, but using the orignal production team. But the cherry on top is that River Song, the Doctor's future companion (wife?????) is gonna b in Series 5. CXan some1 set me straight on something. Russel T Davies has stepped down as Executive producer on Dr who, but is he still involved with its spin offs or has he just left all of the shows
Oh I see, well thats good he invented them so he'll still have important input. Does anyone know If he'll still b writing 4 Dr Who at all, u know kinda taking up MOfat's1 or 2 episodes per series wile Mofat covers the opening closing kinda eps.? Or was End of Time really RTD's end in Dr who (he could bcom an aniv writer someday u never know)
@Nimue1985 I agree. David Tennant was the best of the doctors I know. When he was regenerating I was so mad. The new guy is not that good in my opion.
They kept talking about kids in the interview, is this supposed to be a kids show? 'Cause I am 20 and I think that it is the best TV show that I have ever seen.
@pyromaniacchica It started out as a kids show but its now classed as a family show. Theres something in there for everyone from kids to geeks. Yeah fantastic show.
@xPrincessKx i think David Tennant is reli kool because he was was born within 30 miles of me and came from a similar background. and plus... what an actor!and he seems like a realy nice guy.
God was it ever crazy! I completely agree; gal two rows in front of me during the panel was in tears because she didn't get to ask a question! Totally nuts. Lucky you for meeting Davies.
Yes and Russell T Davies is Welsh. I'd be curious as to whether many Americans could distinguish a Welsh accent from an English one though, and Russell's isn't an especially strong one anyway. Maybe it's like asking Brits to distinguish Canadian from US English. We can but only if we've been told what to listen for.
But David is absolutely right about what he says at the end. Doctor Who has a philosophy about it, that teaches that anything can be done, that the littlest things have the greatest joy... And it really does promote wonderful wonderful things.
@jibikao He is, but he doesn't act like it.. Ever noticed all the gay references he puts into Doctor Who, Torchwood, and (obviously) the gay drama Queer as Folk. That was my big tip off.
@mowingthefrontlawn Yeah. A lot of gay people don't act "femine" at all. My hubby is one of them! I find Russel pretty sexy. I like macho guys! And he is so tall!!!
Well the phone conversation between the Doctor and Master.. altough that may have been a indepenent effort from John Simm :S uh.. i dunno. And lots of other little subtle things.
Well said, there were times that Dr Who was just a punchline, but my how the worm has turned! It is now rock solid. Let us see what the brilliant and talented Moffat brings to the already huge success left behind by Russell and David. They kicked it up several notches! Well done gentlemen.
I'm curious, why do they call each year of the show a series instead of a season? Why isn't it Season 1, Season 2, etc. instead of Series 1, Series 2, etc? Even David Tennant says Season 5, not Series 5 in this interview.
its because its a British programme so we call it a series, not a season which is the American word for it, but they mean exactly the same thing... it doesn't really matter which.
See, Russell said that after you watch it the first time and you know all the details, but really the nice thing about Doctor Who is that there are a lot of episodes that you can watch over and over and over and still not fully understand, so you watch it for the second or even third or fourth time and there's still something you see that you didn't before.

Chris regenerated, and I felt like I could never accept David as The Doctor. And then one season later I was totally drawn into David's amazing portrayal. Now I've almost forgotten about Chris.
And then David regenerated and it was an incredible scene.
But it was just so sad.
I'm going to miss David so much...

Excellent video interview. David & Russell you are to be congratulated on a very informative, tactful and memory-making interview and /or follow-up to the years that you both participated in Dr. Who.
To the person or persons that recorded and/or prepared this video --kudos and many thanks.

Good grief. Look at all the wankers posting here. Shame you have to wade through all the hate speech just to enjoy a DW interview. David Tennant isn't a fake, I've seen interviews he did when he was in his 20's and the man hasn't changed a bit.
This interview was done along side Comic-Con. Everyone was overloaded by how massive and exaushting the event was. Search for other interviews or watch a DW confidential if you want something regular.

Tennent is a Fake.
As Fake as his dr Who accent.
Ever heard what he does sound like.
Sounds like a scot, which he is, so this weasel put on a FAKE accent to play the part. What a Fake.
.
He's a crappy liebour supporter, many of the p**s poor thick scots are.
And there's rumours of Tennent's 'casting couch' antics with Russell T. Davies.
As dr Who he wasn't much good, not much better than Sylvester McCoy.
All in all, I don't much like the guy.

RTD brought the show back and made it as successful as it is today. EVERYONE was saying Moffat is bttr, Moffat is bttr. Yes his eps in the seris were usually bttr than RTD's, but he hasn't been xec producer or head writer long enough 4 ppl 2 judge him yet. I still believe in Moffat, but Series 5 Eps 2 + 3 don't inspire confidence. Sorry for the rant I just get sick of ppl slamming RTD

Chris Ecclestone - again, no respect. Who does Doctor Who for a year ? And Davies says he didn't want to upset children ? Why have two men kissing on teatime television in Torchwood then ? That was shit too.
Nautilus1972 1 year ago
@Nautilus1972 Why would two men kissing upset children? At least, if a man and woman kissing isn't upsetting, then why would two men kissing be? The only reason it would be upsetting is if their parents told them it should be, which is ridiculously bad parenting IMHO.
Anyway, back on topic, I'm going to miss David so much. From the few episodes with Matt Smith, and based on the year with Chris Eccleston, I can honestly say David was my absolute favorite Doctor.

@IceMetalPunk I'm sorry but most ppl who knock RTD do it bcos they say he has a gay agenda. He hasn't hes just reflecting society today, and not in a PC way if a characteris gay its just there, it isn't really a big deal in his stories. Ppl always cite Captain Jack when they give this argument, but really Jack is just John Barrowman being himself

@Nautilus1972 Torchwood was never meant 4 children that why it was post watershed. Torchwood started off rocky but got bttr + bttr check out Children of Earth. Eccelston was a good Dr so it doesn't really matter

Russell Davies does not know what he's talking about - there was little respect for the history of the series. A robot remote-controlled operation of the Tardis ? Please. RTD's over-seeing of Dr Who was a travesty. His scripts were shit and he took the michael out of the series. Queers in space. Be gone. C'mon Moffat, bring respect back to the Doctor !

@jazpyy I apologise I believed u were suggesting the things u were questioning and on closer inspection I realise u were doing the complete opposite and seem 2 share similar sentiments 2 myself. Although while it is true some characters in RTD's (and other writers') scripts set off Earth were indeed homo or bi sexual (or omni if it featured Jack) it is not really grounds for criticism.

@Nautilus1972 YeahMoffat respect the series. Get rid of the old Daleks that at looked alot like the orignals so u can get some more marketable ones. 2 b fair its only been 3 eps I'm still willing 2 give hiom a chance. He did respect the old series he updated it so new fans can get on board and the continuity of his stories was pretty sound with the old series. HIs eps were well written and whats wrong with 'queers in space', hoefully by whatever century there'd b a bit more tolerance

@beyondallillusions I love super heroes but when Dr who came back in 2005 I realised he was actually greater than the like sof Supoerman (the most pwerful), Spider-Man (the most relatable and my fav) or even Batman (the coolest of the cool) bcos hes a guy who saves the universe (quite routinly) and he does it all without throwing a single punch

@Prence Chirstopher was my 1st Dr (excepting clips I'd glanced at) and I was really worried when he left. But David just blew every1 else out of the water, he is the defining Doctor of my generation, in yrs 2 come ppl will talk of him the same way Tom Baker was spoken of b4 2005. I can't say anything bad aboout Chris though, David just exceeded him. Smith is actually good too, not as good but worthy successor

@Prence this happened in the old days, too - each was Doctor for about three years, and eveyrone said, "they'll never replace him" but they managed it each time - it just takes some adjusting to.

@franl155 I know they replace the Doctor, and I know the men who play the Doctor only do so for a short time. I'm saying that IMO FOR ME DAVID IS THE ONLY DOCTOR! Many will come and go but David is the only one that has done so the best.. You may not agree with me but I stand by what I said.
Prence 1 year ago 2
@Prence *s* know what you mean! I still haven't decided who my very best-ever Doctor is yet - David or Tom. No doubt that DT's are the best shows ever [so far!]- FX, music, the technology is awesome, the writing is allowed to go into areas previously forbidden - it all came together beautifully and DT crowned it marvellously. But Doctor Who was always cutting-edge, even back in the 60s!

What a pair of unconvincing self praising dorks. DR who is not even Russell T. Davis's creation, he simply hijacked the show and stamped his bloated ego print all over it. What the Fck does he know? Most of his shows are derivative dross and flops. Who's he to decide what is "scary" for kids or not? The pair of them made me want to puke with their nervous glances to one another. Tennant obviously terrified of saying the wrong thing and becoming a jobbing actor once more. Davis's ego...ugh.

@Chichiproductions1 geniuius scriptwriter? Russell Davis? Get real. Dr Who is no better than an average ep of any tv soap. Take a look at Davis's back catalogue - he's put some shit on the small screen. Viva Las Vegas for Coronation Street in the UK . Take a look - Davis is all Emperors New Clothes with buddies in the media pushing his shit. He'll be calling himself the new Dennis Potter soon. Wake up wont you? He's all smoke and mirrors that's his genius. He's the Wizard of Oz.

i realise kids probably on this page so i will be discreet, but i just wanted to know, i'm watchin queer as folk on utube shows and saw russel t davies wrote it, not that it has any bearing on anything, but he didnt strike me as writing from experience, if he isn't, is "queer as folk" totally off the mark in regards to the social scene it presents, that's why i wondered, is it realistic or has he just been on one night out and taped a few conservations?

@bryngOneOn: UK QaF (not sure how much control of content he had on US Qaf) was inspired by/ based on 15+yrs of his own experience clubbing/ being on the queer scene; so while it's certainly not representative of the entire "social scene", it is realistic to a particular experience of particular segments of that scene

I've just got really hyped for the Doctor Who universe now. I just heard that Torchwood is definatly getting a series 4 as well as a spin off set in America, but using the orignal production team. But the cherry on top is that River Song, the Doctor's future companion (wife?????) is gonna b in Series 5. CXan some1 set me straight on something. Russel T Davies has stepped down as Executive producer on Dr who, but is he still involved with its spin offs or has he just left all of the shows

Yes and Russell T Davies is Welsh. I'd be curious as to whether many Americans could distinguish a Welsh accent from an English one though, and Russell's isn't an especially strong one anyway. Maybe it's like asking Brits to distinguish Canadian from US English. We can but only if we've been told what to listen for.
