Image
The full cast BBC Radio 4 production of Look Back In Anger that first aired on the station in 2016 is to be released by Audible on 7th July. You can pre-order it here.  David Tenant stars in this BBC Radio adaptation of John Osborne's provocative 1956 play about the original 'angry young man', Jimmy Porter. John Osborne's 'kitchen sink' drama Look Back in Anger sparked a generation of 'angry young men' and led to the resurgence of realism in theatre. Reprising his stage role from 2005, David Tennant stars in this radio adaptation, which was produced to commemorate the play's 60th anniversary. Look Back in Anger focuses on the relationship between an educated but disaffected working-class young man, Jimmy Porter, and his equally intelligent but dispassionate wife, Alison, who comes from an upper-middle class military family.

David Tennant has reprised his DuckTales role as Scrooge McDuck to guest star in the new Chip ‘N Dale: Rescue Rangers Movie which is streaming now on Disney+.  Chip ‘N Dale: Rescue Rangers sees Chip and Dale living amongst cartoons and humans in modern-day Los Angeles, but their lives are quite different now. It has been decades since their successful television series was canceled, and Chip has succumbed to a life of suburban domesticity as an insurance salesman. Dale, meanwhile, has had CGI surgery and works the nostalgia convention circuit, desperate to relive his glory days. When a former castmate mysteriously disappears, Chip and Dale must repair their broken friendship and take on their Rescue Rangers detective personas once again to save their friend’s life.  The movie stars John Mulaney (“Saturday Night Live”) as Chip, Andy Samberg (“Palm Springs”) as Dale, and KiKi Layne (“If Beale Street Could Talk”).

David Tennant Audiobook Wins Category In British Book Awards

The British Book Awards (AKA 'The Nibbies') took place last night, and one of David Tennant's projects was a winner in the audiobook section. David's reading of the Cressida Cowell bestseller The Wizards Of Once: Never And Forever took the top prize in the Book Of The Year - Audiobook: Fiction section. The latest instalment in the new book series from the creator of the How To Train Your Dragon saga reunites the author with her favourite narrator, with the novel continuing the adventures of young wizard Xar and the warrior Wish. Filled with songs and poetry, it's the perfect foil for David Tennant to flourish with unique accents and meta-moments to boot: “As David Tennant I am the narrator who is narrating Cressida Cowell’s narration of the real narrator behind this story.”  The title faced some stiff competition from the likes of Lesley Manville's reading of the Richard Osman murder mystery The Man Who Died Twice and Andy Serkis's narration of Tolkien's
