David Tennant Hosts Masterpiece Contemporary - Collision (11/15/09)

[Telen0423]

If I'd heard this on TV, yes, I'd've sent in a donation to PBS right away.

[janescholar]

oh my God..

When David says "Thank you" my heart is melting...

[youtubrgirl12345]

Does this remind you a bit of "Could switching to GEICO really save you 15 percent or more on car insurance?" I would love to see him be the new spokesperson for GEICO. :D

[Thoroughbred17]

How many times did he say Masterpiece Contemporary? I wanna get the DVD and take a shot every time he says it. :P

[anonymousartist89]

I word.... yum... that is all :)

[gloeckchen93]

The way he said 'Thank you' made me shiver... :D

[Stuff0fLegend]

wow how weird is it that he is hosting this, it has the woman he starred in Secret Smile with lol :D

[travelbymind]

I'm soo weird for thi, but I got a little bit excited when he said my name. Well, he kind of said my name, it just had a different meaning and it was plural. x)

And going on with what people said, there are quite a few people in here that are Doctor Who related as well! :D

[travelbymind]

**soo weird for this,...

[foreversapphire]

the way he says, "thank you" really does it for me. lol.

[TessExpelliarmus]

I've never heard of 'Collision', but DT makes it sound like the most interesting must-see TV event of the year. There's a good chance his introduction is more dramatic than the show itself. ;-)

[caitiruth]

I saw this commercial when I was watching pbs with my mother and I jumped up and down screaming and my mom was like, "What?!" and I said, "It's the Doctor!" and she said "Doctor Who?" I swear. Haha!! She had no clue xP

[toontoosh]

@caitiruth from all the epic things that can happen to someone O_O

[emerald0567]

I don't miss the sideburns as much as I thought I would. He is always adorable.

[KeaneshapedTardis]

i just noticed paul mcgann is in this.

haha, funny Who tie-in with that series, you had the scientist from Impossible Planet and the chick from Gridlock too :D

[amcg02]

I like the way he says "order".

Also, finally figured out what's different. No sideburns. I knew it was something little...but couldn't figure out exactly what. *lick*

[theproselytizer]

aww come on... you know you like the way he says EVERYTHING! no, really... literally - i like the way he says 'everything', too! LOL!

and i love your rxn to no sideburns, heheh ;D

[amcg02]

Well, that may also be true for everything. Both the word and the meaning of the word. :P

It's been bugging me each time I watch one of these little Masterpiece thingies! I've been going, "Hmm, something's different..." No sideburns! Can't believe it took me so long to put my finger on it...hehe. :D

[jonstewartismyhero]

omg! You're right! No sideburns! I like it....I didn't think I would but I do. He looks so boyish!

I like the way he says "thank you". (giggle)

[Jodie1995sox]

omg wat channel is this on?

[theproselytizer]

PBS... whatever channel(s) PBS broadcasts on in your area if you are in the U.S.

[davidtennantfan08]

love him talking about a show I'VE SEEN though! it was brill :D thanx for uploading vee :)

[pennypritty1]

Even though he probably recorded these in the UK (I don't know where he did) I'm loving that we have this little piece of DT regularly in the States... How many more MC movies will there be? I don't want these to stop. I'm even watching them and they're good. I really loved Endgame.

[theproselytizer]

one more intro to go =( and that's it.  those were filmed in london over spring, i believe.

[Tiddybeth]

A highway? Since when did we British call a motorway a highway? Shame on you David your presenting a British drama , I would have insisted it was called a motorway and the USA would have found out what we call them.

[pennypritty1]

aahhh, Liza. He's doing it the American way, luv. we call it a highway... when in Rome... y'know. I know it must sound strange to you huh? I'm sure it was strange to him to say it probably... I love knowing he has to say something that I say regularly... tickles me.

[stlouisphile]

Don't blame DT for the writing. And remember this is being presented to American audiences as an introduction. We Yanks will get the motorway reference within the presentation.

[pennypritty1]

oops... typo on your name... (sorry)

he says highway a lot on here I'm noticing... that had to be weird to him. weird? wierd? eesh...

[theproselytizer]

if you are hosting a show on American TV you need to make it understandable to your American audience regardless of where the show you're introducing originates.

I had never heard the term 'motorway' until i saw the DW Gridlock ep.

[jonstewartismyhero]

idk... As an American, perhaps we don't hear the term "motorway' unless we are watching British television...but I think almost everyone would be able to figure out what people are talking about. If not then they probably aren't going to enjoy watching British television or PBS in general.

[tartfuel]

Okay, you get that A) David did not write the script , and B) this series is an AMerican PBS series and therefore he is speaking to Americans and should use the proper vernacular.

[davidtennantfan08]

yah but if it's gonna be broadcast in the USA he'd have been told to use what the Americans call it won't he

[calycat78]

great great show. i was thinking i was watching a MOVIE. i can't wait til part 2

[millie33433]

Theres about 5 people that are directly linked to David in that episode :P

[mickmoart]

Collision was AWESOME! Paul McGann and David Tennant....IN THE SAME BLOCK OF MASTERPIECE CONTEMPORARY!

It was like a Timelord dream come true to see that stuff! Ha ha!

[aliasabcfreak]

Thank you! I woke up this morning thinking about DT cos I missed this last night, well, that and I'm just generally obsessed LOL. And somehow wound up thinking about that rather filthy line from Secret Smile as I made cinnamon toast. I think that line and his "Thank you" here are my 2 fave lines of his LOL

[pennypritty1]

Thank you. I love having these bits of DT hosting Masterpiece Contemporary.

[marishe73]

Thank you!!!
