David Tennant has been named as the hardest working actor in the UK according to a new study carried out by BritBox.
The study, led by statistician Geoff Ellis, looked at the UK’s top 100 film and TV and stars who have either won or been nominated for a Bafta or National Television Award in the last decade and who were then analysed on factors such as versatility in acting genres and number of appearances on screen. Others in the top ten included Martin Clunes, Sir David Jason, Olivia Colman, Dame Julie Walters, Derek Jacobi, Dame Judi Dench, James Nesbitt, Steve Coogan and Sean Bean. Sean Bean was also ranked as having the most star power, followed by Sir David Jason. Martin Clunes and Dame Helen Mirren were declared as the most versatile actors. David Tennant will soon be seen back on screen in Channel 4 Thriller Deadwater Fell and a second series of the BBC comedy drama There She Goes.  Find out more about BritBox at www.britbox.co.uk

As part of last night’s Children In Need David Tennant visited Maggie’s to talk to Isla and Eleanor who very sadly lost their mum, Helen, to cancer. He spoke to the girls and their Dad, Duncan, about how Maggie’s have helped support them for over 10 years.

Watch the video below:

Maggie’s provides free practical, emotional and social support to people with cancer and their family and friends, following the ideas about cancer care originally laid out by Maggie Keswick Jencks.

The first Maggie’s Centre opened in Edinburgh in 1996 and since then Maggie’s has continued to grow, with 20 Centres at major NHS cancer hospitals in the UK an…

The new 4X60’ drama is written by Daisy Coulam (Humans, Grantchester) and produced by Kudos, part of Endemol Shine UK, it follows two families in the aftermath of a horrific crime. The series, is set in the small fictional town of Kirkdarroch, and filming took place earlier this year entirely on location in Scotland. When a seemingly perfect and happy family is murdered by someone they know and trust, the small Scottish community they call home becomes riven with mistrust and suspicion as those closest to the family begin to question everything they thought they knew about their friends... As much as it is an exploration of the anatomy of a terrible crime, Deadwater Fell (w/t) is equally a forensic dissection of two relationships – Kate and Tom, Jess and Steve. BAFTA and NTA-winning David Tennant (Broadchurch, Doctor Who…
