With Christmas almost upon us and the latest Doctor Who Special nearly here, we thought it would be a good time to look back on some of David Tennant's finest moments as the Doctor in his Christmas Specials.

David made his first full appearance Doctor is The Christmas Invasion way back in 2005...

Camping

The comedy drama There She Goes has been included in Broadcast magazine's shows of 2018. The five part series starred David Tennant and Jessica Hynes as Simon and Emily, parents of a severely disabled child.

Reporter Max Goldbart says:


There She Goes (BBC4) This relentless yet consistently touching BBC4 comedy/drama fulfils the ambition of its dual-genre in spades. Based on writer Shaun Pye’s own experiences, There She Goes pulls no punches in its portrayal of a troubled family coping with a severely disabled nine-year-old daughter. The five-part offering flits comfortably between the present day and the early months of protagonists’ Emily and Simon’s daughter Rosie in 2006. It is at times hilarious and at other times hugely painful, as Monkey Dust co-creator Pye cathartically reflects on where his approach to parenthood spiralled out of control, before subsequently being rescued. At a time when disability portrayal on TV is firmly under the spotlight, Miley Locke’s Rosie is fantasticall…

UK fans can get that festive feeling this evening as BBC Two airs David Tennant's 2012 family comedy Nativity 2 Danger In The Manger! this evening at 5.15pm.

David Tennant stars as an anxious teacher who starts a new job at an under-achieving school and quickly finds himself struggling to cope with a wild classroom assistant, a group of under-performing kids and his own very pregnant wife. He soon becomes embroiled in a madcap plan to enter a National ‘Song for Christmas’ Competition and finds himself embarking on a disastrous road trip in search of the competition venue – the ‘Christmas Castle’. Lost in the wilderness with a class of small children, a baby and a donkey, he has to stand up, face his fears and try to lead them not only to safety, but victory. Nativity 2 is part action adventure, part musical and has all the comedy, warmth and heart that audiences love.
