Not that I'm complaining, but...

... it appears that we're in for a mini-Tennant-fest this month.



Next week, he's appearing with Catherine Tate on The Graham Norton Show (Friday 15th, 10.35pm) - presumably to talk about Much Ado and, if the tabloids are to be believed, he might talk about becoming a Dad. But I'm really not bovvered about that. I'm delighted everything went well, and have nothing but good wishes for him and his new family, but he's a very private person and to be honest, I don't blame him. He's famous, yes, but he's famous because he's talented (and gorgeous), and he's obviously more than happy to interact with people - fans and journalists/interviewers alike - when it's about that particular aspect of his life. But other than that, it's "back off" and good luck to him. The press in this country has a nasty habit of ripping into celebrities the minute they put a foot wrong (and sometimes, even when they don't) so I have absolutely no problem with his decision to keep his personal life under wraps. In fact, I find it rather impressive that the majority of journalists etc. seem to like and respect him enough to leave him alone most of the time.

Anyway, back to the point. It appears that the drama about the Munich air disaster - United - is to air in a couple of weeks rather than in the autumn as seems to have been originally thought, and in the same week, we're getting Murray Gold's Kafka - The Musical on Radio 3.

Much Ado opens in mid-May so I imagine there'll be an interview junket for that as well, so our Tennant-starved existence is coming to an end for now, at least.

I'm not sure when Decoy Bride is coming out (I thought it was around May, but I don't know where I got that from) but Fright Night is scheduled for August in the US. Mind you, he's going to be a bit tied up until the beginning of Sept, so he probably can't be part of the press junket for that in the US, but hopefully he'll be doing the rounds for the UK release.

Wonder what he's got lined up after that. ;-)

Hadn't even heard the baby had been born. But then, I don't watch telly or read the tabloids, so it's easy enough to miss. I may have to watch GN next week.

Finally got my tix for Much Ado this week and squeed a little :-)

What dates are yours for? I haven't got mine yet and I'm going in June!

[hooloovoo_42]

July & September

[caz963.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought. I should have some for June and August. If nothing turns up by Monday, I'll have to give them a ring.

Please do!!! xoxo

I got mine yesterday and I'm going in June. If you don't get them soon I should enquire about them.

[caz963.livejournal.com]

I will. I've kept the email comfirmation, so hopefully, I can get it sorted.

I forgot to add that you already know that I am politically incorrect for not being a fan of babies, so if the GN episode gets Stateside (or someone is kind enough to download it) and there is no DT/daddy/baby talk, I will not be disappointed. He and CT together are my heart's true delight and that's all I want to hear about.

Busy, busy man. Perhaps he should indulge himself in some time off. But not until after I get there! Hee!

[caz963.livejournal.com]

I'm not a fan of babies either, and I've had two of 'em!

[canterlevi.livejournal.com]

Bwah! I have often said that children are like my horse: I enjoy my horse, I love to spend time with him, I am damn lucky to have a horse. But I know I don't want him in my house. And so it is with me and children.

But I digress. Oh yeah. CT/DT is <3s. Squee!

He and CT together are my heart's true delight

Mine too!! &hearts &hearts

(And one thing I love about David Tennant is that he is such a Catherine Tate fanboy!)

[canterlevi.livejournal.com]

It is my personal fanwank that DT shipped Doctor/Donna. But of course, he would never admit to such a thing. ;-)

YES!!!

(I just made this icon; it's from "The Stolen Earth" - the way he looks at Donna when she says "I'm a Human Being. Maybe not the stuff of legend, but every bit as important as Time Lords, thank you."
I love the look on his face!)


But of course, he would never admit to such a thing. ;-)

Of course! ;-)

It's the same look he give her in The Poison Sky when she says, "And my name's Donna Noble since you didn't ask. I'll have a salute."

Oh, Donna...

[caz963.livejournal.com]

My personal favourite is the - "wonder how fast I can get that bathrobe off her" look at the end of Midnight -



- run a close second by the "that's my girl" look from The Sontaran Stratagem



I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm fairly convinced DT was playing Ten as somewhat smitten because I can't believe that such a good actor would let things like that slip through accidentally.

While I am happy to have Kafka AND United AND new Doctor Who to look forward to, why must it all be on the same weekend??? I like it when these things are spread out a bit. :D

As for the Fright Night opening, I do wish that he had made a few days break in the Much Ado scheduling so that he could come here and do some interviews/entertainment shows. However, people don't NEED to be in the studio these days so they could tape segments with him still in London.

[caz963.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. When there's not too much to go around, it's nice to have it spread out a bit!

[green-maia.livejournal.com]

One thing I like and respect and admire about David Tennant is that he is so private, that he keeps his personal life private.

I'm gutted about not being able to see Much Ado. I hope you'll post at length about it so I can enjoy it vicariously!!

*nods*

It's no mean feat, either, given that he's one of the most recognisable men in the country.

I'm sure I shall fangirl a great deal about Much Ado - I'll be seeing it three times (at last count!) so with any luck there will be plenty to talk about! I've just read that you're going to be seeing Derek Jacobi in Lear and now I'm jealous! I love him, but have never managed to see him on stage, which is very remiss of me.
