David of course played the Tenth Doctor and his former Broadchurch co star Jodie Whittaker has now taken over the controls of the TARDIS to become the Thirteenth incarnation of the Time Lord. With David's former Broadchurch boss Chris Chibnall at the helm, everyone wants to know his opinions on what Jodie will bring to the role.
Talking to Scotland's Heart News he said: "Because I know Jodie and I can imagine all the things that she might bring to it, I’m thrilled to see what that’s going to look like and what the stories are going to be. She’s such a great choice. I’m hoping the public will get to see sides of Jodie that she’s often kept hidden in the brilliantly sort of detailed character studies that she presents to the world. There’s a madness to Jodie, she’s one of…

Last night saw David Tennant win the Best Actor In A Play award for his role as DJ in the Patrick Marber play, Don Juan In Soho, at the prestigious WhatsOnStage Awards.
However, David couldn't be there in person as he was attending the premiere of his latest film, You, Me And Him in Glasgow, and so he sent along his son Ty to collect the award on his behalf and made an acceptance speech video for the audience at the Prince Of Wales Theatre in London.

Thanking the theatregoers who had voted for him David said:
"I'm so chuffed to be winning this for Don Juan in Soho. It was an amazing experience working with the amazing Patrick Marber, the peerless Adrian Scarborough, and a fantastic cast of brilliant, talented, enthusiastic, wonderful people."

"It was a real privilege getting to do a play about Soho in Soho, especially over a summer when London suffered a couple of terrible attacks, the play itself began to feel like a real celebration of London, and indeed one …

David Tennant was a winner again at the WhatsOnStage Theatre Awards tonight, picking up the prize for Best Actor In A Play for his performance in Don Juan In Soho. David was a previous winner for his perfomance in Richard II in 2013.

David played the title role in the revival of Patrick Marber's play, an update of the Moliere morality play Dom Juan. The production was directed by Marber himself and played at Wyndham's Theatre in Soho between March and June 2017. Critics at the time praised David's nimble and empathetic performance and described the production as fantastic, entertaining and unflagging. 

Due to his attendance at the premiere of his new movie You, Me And Him in Glasgow, David was unable to collect the award himself, but sent a videoed acceptance speech.


"It was a real privilege doing a play about Soho in Soho," he said. "The WhatsOnStage Awards are a wonderful evening celebrating everything that's good about London theatre and I'm so chuff…

While we've all had plenty of sight of a bearded David Tennant - Broadchurch's Alec Hardy, for instance, or John in the new romcom You, Me And Him. However, later this year David will be seen on screen sporting some facial hair that will knock even John's sculpted hipster fuzz right out of the park. 

During yesterday's interview with Zoe Ball for her BBC Radio 2 show, David described his look for the historical drama Mary, Queen Of Scots in which he plays Protestant minister John Knox. The film stars Saorise Ronan and Margot Robbie and was filmed in locations across Scotland and England..

"He had a big old beard, he was very much defined by the beard," David joked of his character. "He had a sort of Dumbledore beard."

Keeping such a length of facial hair in place for filming was no mean feat, it seemed, causing grief for the hair and make up artists as well as David himself.

"[They had to] glue it and keep gluing it all day," he said. "Th…

Yesterday afternoon, David Tennant was interviewed by Zoe Ball for her show on BBC Radio 2. During his chat, David gave a brief update on his involvement with the greatly anticipated Amazon Prime series Good Omens.

The show is a six-part adaptation of the comic novel of the same name by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, the latter of whom has written the screenplay and is acting as showrunner. The story is set at the brink of the Apocalypse and revolves around an unlikely partnership striving to prevent the end of the world. David, who has just wrapped shooting on the series in South Africa, plays Crowley, a demon, opposite Michael Sheen who plays an angel called Aziraphale. 

David explained how the good and evil divide between the two protagonists is not that clear cut.

"They're both a little yin and yang, to be honest," he stated. "That's why they get on so well. They've lived through the millennia with the human race, and I'm supposed to be there tempting…

David Tennant will be walking the red carpet at the European premiere of his new film, You, Me And Him at the Glasgow Film Festival this evening. The screening, which is part of the festival's Local Heroes strand, begins at 6.15pm and will be followed by a Q&A session with David and the film's writer and director Daisy Aitkens.

The 14th Glasgow Film Festival runs until Sunday 4th March. The festival offers an eclectic mix of new and classic films with six World and seven European premieres, as well as Q&A panels, pop-up events and themed strands. Other personal appearances during the festival will be made by Bill Pullman, for the UK premiere of The Ballad Of Lefty Brown and Karen Gillan for the World premiere of her directorial debut, The Party's Just Beginning.

Movie website Film Threat caught up with Dean Devlin and Carlito Olivero, the director and one of the stars of the soon-be released thriller Bad Samaritan, during their visit to the Long Beach Comic Expo. Dean has produced the movie, which co-stars David Tennant and Robert Sheehan, through his own independent production company, Electric Entertainment, the company behind the TV hits Leverage and The Librarians.

All is going well until they target the wrong home and attract the attention of a dangerous psychopath, played by David. 

Both Dean and Carlito had much to say about working with David.


“David is one of the most remarkable actors I’ve ever seen,” said Dean. “People who have seen the trailer are actually disturbed because he’s so likable as Doctor Who and on Broadchurch. They’ll…

David said of his character, "I am the him...we, am I the him? I don't want to give too much away!"

He added, "He's a bit of a twit. He's recently divorced...and he's someone enjoying something of a second adolescence. He's got the hipster beard and a man bun and the rather …
