Parkinson Show Recording 3rd May 2007

Written by David Bridson.

David Tennant has already given plenty of interviews during his life.

Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised he was so calm and confident when meeting one of the most experienced interviewers Britain has to offer.

Michael Parkinson, probing yet assured, spoke to Tennant as part of the first show of the new series of the famous 'Parkinson'.

Tennant kept remarkable composure when he was introduced by Parkinson, in front of several hundred screaming (mostly female) fans, as "A time lord or as one female critic dubbed him, time...phwoar!"

True, it seemed the people were only here for the actor. Two fans held aloft 'Doctor Who' dolls throughout the show, while another requested, during the only break the show offered in the recording, that Tennant be passed on a number plate her child had made especially for him.

Outside the London Television Centre, long queues awaited their hero.

"He's gorgeous", one uttered.

"Are you here to see David Tennant?" I asked another.

"Yep.", they responded, before discussing his hair.

Bowing his head at the audience he later called "a lovely bunch of people", Tennant strolled down the steps to greet Michael.

Donning a blue shirt inside his suit jacket, the actor didn't look out of place against a studio set made up of mixture of blues.

"When are you leaving?" Parkinson joked.

"The question I've been asked since the moment I said I was starting...I keep tight lipped on that one." Tennant spoke in the eloquent Scottish accent he talked freely in all evening.

Not once coming across big-headed or unsatisfied, Tennant smiled and joked as the Yorkshire born interviewer went on to suggest getting the role of the Doctor in a show he grew up watching was destiny.

"I literally just woke up one morning and went 'oh what are you talking about, of course you're gonna do it!'" he said.

"It is a bit overwhelming because you go in to a supermarket and your face is on a cake. There are now underpants with my face on them!" the recent winner of the Best Actor award at the Welsh Baftas told Parkinson.

Given his utter delight with the part, you could probably be forgiven for thinking he was pretending he was Doctor Who, as he later said he was doing when fellow guest David Mitchell recalled his childhood days using his airing cupboard as the Tardis.

The show didn't come without props either. Much to the delight of the two doll waving folk I mentioned earlier, Parkinson asked his guest how he should operate a Doctor Who figure of Tennant, while turning its hands up and down.

Tennant revealed the idea for the white shoes on the doll came when Jamie Oliver starred on the show donning a cream suit complete with trainers.

Changing the subject completely, Parkinson noted how, as Casanova in the film with the same title, Tennant "had to bed fifteen women".

"Yeah, it's tough." he responded.

"Did you gain training for it?"

"I've been training for a very long time...not really, I mean you just have to get on with it, don't you?" Tennant said, maintaining the approachable yet serious allure he had throughout the show.

Sure, just before the first break came when the show aired on television, he said: "Pretending to climax on screen is about the most embarrassing thing I've ever done!"

Switching back to today, a clip of an upcoming Doctor Who played as the show returned from the commercial break.

David was certainly happy to see the clip, smiling and laughing with Parkinson while it played on a television screen in front of him during the recording.

"It's beautifully realised." Parkinson said.

"It's extraordinary, the stretch of age ranges that this show seems to attract."

As the interview came to a close, Parkinson speculated on the ending of the current series of Doctor Who, suggesting the Doctor had a son.

"What? Not that I know of!" he said, playfully denying the rumour, before discussing the nature of the Doctor during its Sixties run and moving forward to today.

"The face of Bo has told the Doctor that he's not alone in the universe." Tennant hinted.

Just after telling Tennant to "keep enjoying it", Parkinson called a halt to a fascinating interview which David looked completely at home participating in. One has to feel he has found his niche playing the Doctor.

Sure enough, discussion of the series travelled in time as Parkinson concluded the opening show of the new series by asking all the guests (Amanda Holden, Michael Bublé were the others taking the chair) "If you could travel back to one place, or one event in time, what would it be?"

Noting her support for Everton FC, Amanda said "I'd go back to last Saturday, when Everton were winning 2-0 against Manchester United and somehow managed to lose 4-2."

While Buble said "Woodstock, I'd go and see for myself", comedian Mitchell, who was hilarious throughout his interview, stated "I'd ask why they bothered building Stonehenge."

As for the Time Lord himself, "I would probably go back and meet myself, aged about fourteen. There are a couple of opportunities coming up that you're going to miss."
