David Tennant Pays Tribute To Sir Patrick Stewart At 80

Image
David Tennant is among a host of stars paying tribute to the beloved actor Sir Patrick Stewart ahead of his 80th birthday next week. David gave his contribution to The Guardian's celebration of Sir Patrick's acting career alongside  a host of actors and creatives including Sir Ian McKellen, Ruper Goold, Harriet Walter and William Shatner. 

David says of his Hamlet co-star: 
"He is everything you’d imagine: generous, a real actors’ actor, loves being in a troupe of players and everything about the life of the theatre… We all await his King Lear. Patrick still almost looks the same as in that Hamlet I saw at school. He’s fit as a fiddle and so strapping! How many 80-year-olds are the lead in their own science fiction series? There’s nothing of the “old man” about him. He’s very virile – I’m sure he wouldn’t mind me saying that!"

VIDEO: Staged Episode 6 - The Intervention

-
Image
The BBC has released a clip from its hilarious lockdown series Staged featuring David Tennant, Michael Sheen and a very special guest star.

In the six-part comedy written by Simon Evans, David Tennant and Michael Sheen (playing versions of themselves) were due to star in a production of Six Characters in Search of an Author in the West End. The pandemic has put paid to that, but their director (Simon Evans - also playing himself) is determined not to let the opportunity pass him by. He knows how big a chance this is for him and turns his attention to cajoling his stars into rehearsing over the internet. All they need to do is read the first scene, but throughout the series they come up against a multitude of oppositional forces: distraction, boredom, home-schooling and their own egos.

When tensions rise between his two stars and the project appears to be foundering, Simon has no option but to bring in someone to talk sense into them both. Watch below (may not play outside the UK):
