...I receive a Doctor Who newsletter from the BBC every now and then and this article was in it about my #1 favourite Doctor (I'm sure that you all know WHO that is by now)... lol!... yes... David Tennant... he still has a really strong connection to this day with his Doctor Who character which is really great to know for me at least...
...in the blurb on the magazine cover it says "David Tennant leads a classic line-up for the 10th Doctor's comeback!"... say what?????... that's the first that I've heard of it... wow!... it would be sensational if that happens in the new series... I'd be totally gobsmacked if it happened... and by 'classic line-up' does that mean that the other earlier reincarnations of The Doctor's will make an appearance too?... woohoo!... if it happens on the show itself and not just the audio adventures only... anyhow... here is the article... cheers.

David Tennant: Doctor Who ‘runs through my life like a stick of rock’
By Cameron McEwan on Wednesday 18 October 2017
Tenth Doctor actor David Tennant has been chatting with Doctor Who Magazine 518 all about his time on Doctor Who and what it means to him. The issue is available from Oct 19, 2017.
David was asked how he feels looking back on the role which he started playing in 2005, he commented:
“I always feel fond towards it. I always feel like it’s a happy place to be. Obviously a day like this brings it all back a little more keenly, but it’s always a very fond thing to return to, the world of Doctor Who. It’s always very welcoming, and friendly, and familiar. I suppose I don’t feel detached enough from it to feel sentimental, really. Maybe if I’d been completely banished from it for ten years...?
But of course it never quite goes away, does it? There’s no escaping it, nor would I want to, really.
Because Doctor Who sort of runs through my life like a stick of rock. It’s sort of always bubbling under, and you know it always will.”
Tennant was also seen as the Doctor in the 2013 50th Anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor, in which he delivered the immortal line, describing the Time Lord’s name as a promise – “Never cruel or cowardly”. David describes it as a “mission statement.” The actor continues:
“We can all have mottos that we live by; it doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re entirely faithful to them. It can be who you aspire to be. It doesn’t mean you can’t be inconsistent sometimes. That’s what makes any character and any person interesting – their inconsistencies, the little flaws in the weft of their character.
I don’t know if the Doctor always needs to be consistent to that, but I think broadly speaking he is. At least, he tries.”
You can read the full interview with David in the latest edition of Doctor Who Magazine which also includes a fantastic interview with Nardole actor Matt Lucas and much, much more.
