David Tennant brukar oftast nämnas som en av de bästa skådespelarna av doktorn i Doctor Who. Nästan fem år har gått sedan han, tillsammans med John Hurt och Matt Smith, gestaltade karaktären senaste gången. Sen dess har Peter Capaldi axlat rollen som tidsmästaren men gjorde sin sista insats som karaktären i julavsnittet som sändes för ett par veckor sedan. I samma avsnitt presenterades den nya skådespelaren som också är första kvinna att spela rollen. Exakt när den elfte säsongen drar igång vet vi inte än men vi vet att det är Jodie Whittaker som spelar doktorn, och så här sa David Tennant om hennes framtid.
''I think she'll bring herself. I don't mean that to sound as flippant as it did. What Jodie has sort of become known for as an actress, she's so brilliantly and heartstoppingly emotional, in something like Broadchurch, where she just broke a nation's heart with this wonderful portrait of this mother and these awful desperate straits. And I think people have often gone to Jodie to break our hearts, because she does it so wonderfully. But if you know Jodie, she's so funny and rude and she's got this broad accent, and she's just sort of fizzes with energy and madness. She's quite unpredictable and glorious and funny. And I imagine -- I don't know -- but I imagine she'll bring a bit of that, too, and her natural anarchy will be something that the Doctor will enjoy.
We had a wee chat, yes. It is quite a unique job, because it's a show that has so much history to it. And it has a reach that's quite unlike other things. It's a bit of a kind of cultural thing -- Who's going to be the Doctor? -- it's a news story, really. So to find yourself in the middle of that is a bit overwhelming. I think inevitably, you sort of look to people who'd been there before to go, 'What is this like? What is this madness I entered into?' And that's certainly been the case with Matt and Peter, and now with Jodie. I know that Jodie's talked to Peter, and she's talked to Matt. You just for a little support group. You go, 'What is this madness? Tell me about it.' And of course, you know, she 's a little trepidatious, but she's basically really excited. She's such a fantastic choice for it. You see it in just those 30 seconds that she did at the end of the last episode. You just go, 'Oh my god, she's all over it. Brilliant. It's great.'''
