I have capped the preview trailer for Einstein and Eddington and you can view those in the gallery here.

Finally, the BBC have released some information and one promotional picture of David in Einstein and Eddington due this Auturnn on BBC 2. Blogtor Who also have a 1 minute online preview clip! Go check it out!

"David Tennant and Andy Serkis star in this drama set amid the chaos and uncertainty of the First World War. Einstein And Eddington chronicles the interlinked stories of two extraordinary men striving for a greater truth while refusing to be constrained by national boundaries.

Albert Einstein (Serkis) spent years working on his General Theory of Relativity, which threatened to overturn two centuries of Newtonian certainty and the foundations of British science. Arthur Eddington (Tennant) was a prominent British astrophysicist who, as a Quaker, believed that "truth knows no boundaries" and bravely championed Einstein’s theories while Britain rejected anything German.

In 1919, Eddington undertook an expedition to Africa to photograph light bending round the sun during an eclipse. These photographs not only proved the theory to be correct, but turned Einstein into a worldwide superstar.

Directed by Philip Martin (Prime Suspect – The Final Act) and written by Peter Moffat (Hawking), Einstein And Eddington co-stars Jim Broadbent, Lucy Cohu, Jodhi May and Rebecca Hall. (BBC Press Office)

Nearly 10 million people crept out from behind the sofa to find out whether David Tennant would survive the series finale of Doctor Who.
At its peak, 9.8 million people - an impressive 47% of the total TV audience - tuned in to see the Time Lord defeat the Daleks, according to BBC figures.

The average viewing figure of 9.4 million is 300,000 more than watched the first episode of the series in April.
The figures for Doctor Who followed days of intense speculation over Tennant's future in the Tardis.
Last week's episode had ended on a cliff-hanger when the Doctor was shot by a Dalek and apparently started to regenerate.

But with the help of a small army of his companions, the Doctor once again thwarted the Daleks and their evil creator Davros to save the universe.
A BBC spokesman said: "We're absolutely delighted with last night's figures and viewers can now look forward to the Christmas Special."
However, Tennant's longer term future as the Time Lord remains uncertain.

He will star in a Doctor Who Christmas special this year and another three specials next year but is not confirmed for the next series in 2010.
The fifth series has been postponed so that the Casanova star can take to the stage to play Hamlet with the Royal Shakespeare Company. (The Press Association)

Here are over 60 screencaps of David from The Andrew Marr Show:

Quote from Whats On Stage: "As previously reported, David Tennant will bring his Royal Shakespeare Company Hamlet to the West End this Christmas following its run in Stratford-upon-Avon. The production, directed by RSC chief associate Gregory Doran, is now confirmed to launch the company’s winter West End residency at the Novello Theatre, as part of a five-year arrangement with theatre owner Cameron Mackintosh.

Hamlet runs at the Novello from 9 December 2008 (previews from 3 December) to 10 January 2009 and is followed by Doran’s cross-cast production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, from 20 January to 7 February (previews from 15 January), and Conall Morrison’s production of The Taming of the Shrew, starring Stephen Boxer and Michelle Gomez, from 17 February to 7 March (previews from 12 February).

All three productions come direct from the RSC’s Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. One of the year’s most anticipated theatre events, Hamlet runs in rep from 5 August to 15 November 2008 (previews from 24 July) in Stratford, where Tennant will also be playing Berowne in Doran’s production of Love’s Labour’s Lost, which will not be transferring to London.

The Hamlet cast also features (See News, 27 May 2008): Patrick Stewart (as the Ghost and Claudius), fresh from his Tony-nominated run in Macbeth on Broadway, Penny Downie (Gertrude), Oliver Ford Davies (Polonius), John Woodvine (the Player King) and Mariah Gale (Ophelia).

Commenting on Tennant’s titular casting, director Gregory Doran has said: “Hamlet is a play that waits for the right actor to come along. This Hamlet will be to some extent who David is. You have to have an actor who can be, as Ophelia describes him, ‘the poet, the soldier, the scholar’. He has to be someone who is charismatic and can be brutal and course, and can be witty and moving and can physically take on the demands of the part. I believe that David’s skills fill all these criteria.” More?

If you missed it, a video of David on the Andrew Marr show is here and he discusses both Doctor Who and Hamlet.

Full casting details have been announced for the Royal Shakespeare Company’s highly anticipated Hamlet, starring David Tennant as the Prince and Patrick Stewart, following his Tony-nominated Broadway turn in Macbeth, as the Ghost and Claudius (See News, 11 Sep 2007). RSC chief associate Gregory Doran’s production runs in rep at Stratford-upon-Avon’s Courtyard Theatre from 5 August to 15 November 2008 (previews from 24 July), after which it is expected to transfer to a West End theatre (still tbc) for a limited Christmas season.

Tennant and Stewart are joined in the company by Penny Downie (The Penelopiad, The Prisoner’s Dilemma, Dinner) as Gertrude, Oliver Ford-Davies (most recently seen in Much Ado About Nothing and Saint Joan at the National) as Polonius, John Woodvine (Timon of Athens, Don Carlos, TV’s Shameless and Rome) as the Player King and, as previously reported (See News, 7 May 2008), Mariah Gale as Ophelia.

Also in the ensemble are: David Ajala (Reynaldo), Sam Alexander (Rosencrantz and Second Gravedigger), Edward Bennett (Laertes), Ricky Champ (Lucianus) Ewen Cummins (Barnardo), Robert Curtis (Franciso), Tom Davey (Guildenstern), Peter De Jersey (Horatio), Samuel Dutton (Lord) Ryan Gage (Oscric), Mark Hadfield (Gravedigger), Jim Hooper (Priest), Keith Osborn (Marcellus), Roderick Smith (Lord and Captain), Andrea Harris (Lady), Riann Steele (Lady) and Zoe Thorne (Lady and Player). The production is designed by Robert Jones, with lighting by Tim Mitchell, music by Paul Englishby, sound by Jeremy Dunn, movement by Michael Ashcroft and fight direction by Terry King.

Commenting on Tennant’s titular casting, director Gregory Doran said: “Hamlet is a play that waits for the right actor to come along. This Hamlet will be to some extent who David is. You have to have an actor who can be, as Ophelia describes him, ‘the poet, the soldier, the scholar’. He has to be someone who is charismatic and can be brutal and course, and can be witty and moving and can physically take on the demands of the part. I believe that David’s skills fill all these criteria.”

Doran has just opened his production of A Midsummer Night's Dream which is performed by largely the same company of supporting actors who will be performing in Hamlet as well as his upcoming production of Love's Labour's Lost, the RSC’s first staging of the play in more than 12 years, in which David Tennant will play the lovelorn Berowne with Mariah Gale as the Princess of France, Nina Sosanya as Rosaline and Oliver Ford-Davies as Holofernes. Love's Labour's joins the Courtyard rep from 2 October to 15 November 2008.
