7:21

If he bowed any lower, he'd hit his head on the floor.

[TheKameogirl]

oooooooh david tennant!!

[tabbykatification]

I would just like to congratulate you on your excellent taste in everything. Sons of Admirals, Shakespeare and definately David Tennant!

[TessExpelliarmus]

Great video!

What's the music that starts at 2:53, please?

[zbljrk]

@TessExpelliarmus

it's ophelia by bethany joy lenz :)

[TessExpelliarmus]

@zbljrk Thank you!

[TornLoveNotes]

The pic at 0:20 IS supposed to be an homage to Casper David Friedrich's "The Wanderer Above The Sea" isn't it?

Makes sense I suppose, Hamlet seems to beling to the same kind as the "wanderer".

Anyway, great video!

[needydissidence]

nothing better than this modern dr who  online at justdoctorwho^dot^com

[CharlieChan007]

Good version. Very good.

[Bric]

No, Hamlet isn't just another play, but I can see why he needs to think that.

With Tennant and Stewart, it would be hard to go wrong.

[nikky9611]

but remmemmber doctor cuz the DALEKS ARE COMING THE DALEKS ARE COMING THE DALEKS ARE COMING !!!

[3Alba3]

I still hear a Time Lord's voice.

[fishSG1]

He has already played one of the biggest roles in history. Hamlet is just another that is my thinking

[rosiescott88]

This is really a brilliant video. Usually I don't like 'tributes' but this one is very very well done. I saw the play when it was on in Stratford as well and I got both my Shakespeare and my DT fix in three beautiful hours. I'm not just saying it because I love him, he was INCREDIBLE as Hamlet!

[Paddiemae]

what a terrific video! I love the clips; the pictures and David's lovely voice. Where did you get the wonderful pictures?

[bouncyangel]

His website :)

[626Rosa626]

@bouncyangel What's he's website?

[eastephie123]

I would've LOVED to see David in Hamlet. I'm thrilled that they fimed it. Word is that it's finished & it's locked at 3 hrs. 2 min. long. We should know by Sept. when it will be released on DVD. It airs in the UK this holiday season & 2010 in the US but with luck the DVD will be available for Xmas.

I can't wait to see David in the famous red shirt for the "to be, or not to be" scene.

I wonder if they used the real skull of pianist Andre Tchaikowsky like they did on stage?

[Beautifulo0oFantasy]

I was one of the lucky ppl who got to see him/ Last 2 standing seats, it was beyond belief. The stage performance was 3 hr 30 so I hope it's @ least 3 hr 10 cos other wise they will have cut some of David's beautiful performance.

and I saw his famous red T shirt at the RSC Open day exebition. I didn't know it was famous I just thought it was a t shirt tht David Tennant wore.

[lbotez]

it's the real skull. They used it the whole time.  And lied about it.

[pennypritty1]

wooow--I'd love to see DT and PS in Hamlet. I have loved PS and I truly now love DT and to see both of them in one show???

Wonder if they'd travel to the US to put this show on? Oh well, if not, can I somehow go there?! lol

[MethosUSMC]

what verse is this?

[funkyfryer]

THANK GOD THEY'RE MAKING THIS INTO A MOVIE! sucks that i live in America though

[CptReed]

WHat we wont get it?

[funkyfryer]

probably not until a year or two after its out

[Paddiemae]

I think it's on PBS next year!

[funkyfryer]

OMFG YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

[sumintookish]

The best thing I've ever seen on stage. It was truely amazing!

[charmedgirl90]

I am SO SO SO glad that they are making it into a movie (with the same cast obviously) so I can finally see him as Hamlet!!!

[yellohcard]

wish I could see him on stage.

the pic at :31 is gorgeous!

: )

[Beautifulo0oFantasy]

Words cannot explain how amazing that night was I may have been standing for 3 and 1/2 hours but it was so heavenly. the only good bit of life ever. I love him and was crying for hours when it finished I never wanted it to end.

[MildewFilm]

This is great A level revision, thankyou! Just wish I could see the play again - they should DVD it!

Jude Law is so going to suck.

[bouncyangel]

They may DVD it.

Which would be awesome. :D

And don't be mean to Jude Law, I mean he's no David but I'm sre he'll be good. :)

[axollot]

I do wish Jude Law all the best when he starts Hamlet, but must confess that I did think when I read it ages ago that it would be a really hard act to follow David. (and in fairness, I think prior to the start at Stratford ).

The only horse I have in this race is that I'm a HUGE geek with a little bit of fan girl.

David's acting can be like a black hole, I've seen it suck many of my mates into it happily and they're mostly guys!

Cheers

Sandy

[CircularWaffles]

No, I'm afraid not. As lovely as YouTube is it doesn't vibrate.

[charmedonetwo3]

WHAT IS THE SYNTHY- DARKWAVE SONG?sorry for the caps, mate, but its driving me mad to think on it! the song at 2:25

[KepiLayla]

yeah, i would like to know too. sounds a bit like a band i like from germany called blutengel, and to have another awesome darkwave band would rock!

[charmedonetwo3]

blutengel are fantastic, but its certainly not them lol. I've every single one of their albums and I've yet to hear that song on them hehehe

[RosiePurplebat]

Its a song called Damage by Assemblage 23 :D heard it at a club on saturday xP I nearly trampled my mates trying to get to the DJ to ask what it was.

[lixechan]

*clears throat*

I SAW HIM IN JUST HIS PANTS XD

yaaaay!

xxx

[tardisgirlwho]

[anubamzai]

[weedle30]

HTH :-)

[anaisparker]

I really loved this tribute. It gave me goosebumps! What is the song at 2:53?

[Scottishgal78]

Loved that! Liked the tune at the end there too.

[LeicsGal]

"...To be or not to be."

"Cut it!"

lol

[chatterboxondaloose]

[junior2004hasz]

He's the best Doctor and now has done the best-ever Hamlet. Good for you, David !!

[horseracing2009]

i know hes well good!!!!!!!!!!!

[elfielvr]

Brilliant compilation! I enjoyed that very much. I wish so badly I could have seen him in this part. Ah well, just very happy that David is back and feeling well enough to return to the play! Good on him!!! :D

[holden15]

What is the song that comes on at 5:04 and lasts through 6:42?

[mladywolf]

its By Criss Angel and its called Mindfreak

[holden15]

Thanx! :)

[kewlbubzlouise]

so hot! need i say more?

[WholovesDavidT1]

i was so lucky to of seen David in this hereally is amazing as the bard

[imaof4]

The bard refers to Shakespeare, dear heart - DT is acting as Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, a play, the bard wrote.

[xoxmusicianxox]

yeah, cos a bard is a story teller

[poppylv21]

I've seen it, only with Edwards bennett the understudy... I was sooooo disappointed!

[alexkommadie]

I think Edward was quite good! I was just a bit sad, that it wasn't DT...

[doctorshakespeare]

Really excellent compilation - many thanks for this - I loved it!

[kbjdouglas]

It and of course David were amazing and I'm going again on the 27th December!

[kbjdouglas]

I'm going to see this tonight I can hardly contain myself! 10 and a half hours! xx

[Tangerine08]

"to be or not to be..."

"Cut it, I say cut it!" hehe!! Aww I wish I coulda seen this, Hamlet is my favourite thing ever and Tennant is amazing!

[hunnique]

Merci beaucoup! I so wished I could see this beautiful talent doing Hamlet... but I'm in Québec! Thank you very much for giving me the feeling of it.

Ciao, bella

[montypython203]

This is great - makes me feel like I was there, which I wasn't coz I live in BLOODY AUSTRALIA!

[tenrosefan]

[bouncyangel]

No. I was there..Tuesday the something.

And all the pictures of from his site anyway; it's from various dates.

[tenrosefan]

Oh, ok.just looks REALLY similar. Even the blood stain on his shirt is the same!

[bouncyangel]

well, it's all really controlled, so stuff like that would be almost exactly the same

[bluewho4eva]

I hope you did not record that speech from the courtyard?, brilliant and bought back so many lovely memories, but naughty naughty if you did.

[bouncyangel]
