David Tennant

STUB

Is the nickname I give to my dick when I rub it thing about David Tennant (SQUEEEEE!!!). David Tennant was selected by RTD for his boyish good looks and expressive face and quickly became the face of Doctor Who, a cause for sour grapes years down the line on Christopher Eccleston's part.

Life before Who
David Tennant was the first gay Doctor Who, when he was selected to replace Sylvester McCoy in 1989, and he was with the show until the end in 2005, after which he went on to play another Doctor (for the new series).

In 1993, Tennant was arrested for being in the public loo of a West End theatre when it was officially off-limits to the public. He spent a weekend in Wandsworth prison. Tennant described it as "a bit scary" but insisted he wasn't doing anything illegal, and that the law was wrong to make such a distinction. (Not sure why it's called "public" loo, I guess just a sign that says "Ladies" and "Gents".)

In 1998, Tennant was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

On June 11th, 2002, Tennant was the subject of a BBC Radio 2 interview that was made available to members of the public who could play back-up tapes of BBC recordings. The tapes were put together by Doctor Who fans, and are available to be heard online, via a dedicated website.

According to some people, Tennant can play the game of Pictionary fairly well.[spurious: discuss]

Life after Who
Tennant continued to have a strong presence in UK television, translating to aero recognition abroad. Most of these productions were formulaic BBC dramas where he played some variation upon a le BAD character. The natural endpoint of this career trajectory led him to portray the lead role in Des, a cliché if there ever was one. Well it makes sense since David won the Scottish genetic lottery and looks like he isn't allowed to live within a hundred feet of a school.
