I only found out about it this morning and I'm sure that many will be terribly sad to hear this. I'm not one of them, ohh believe me I adore D.T ("Bath chair" come on you have to love anyone who still says things like that, so much more chic than a wheelchair) but I think if your a fan of his then you'll be as pleased to see him develop his skills in fresh parts as you were to watch him in Doctor Who. If your a Doctor Who fan well then I'm sure that you know that that's the nature of the show. The Doctor changes and just as David reinvigorated the show, that'll happen again if they choose the right man for the job (No David I don't think someone with your charms could be replaced by wee Jimmy Crankie but it's an amusing image). If your loyalties are split then guess what you can still follow both.... I won't comment on the many who can't accept this parting of the ways because he was always going to grow old and have to leave and how many of you wanted the doctor to totter out of the Tardis and bleakly mutter. "I don't know where we are, I don't know what I had for breakfast and I hope that I remembered to turn the kettle of. Whatever aliens I'm battling today they had better be slow moving that's all I'm saying... Still mustn't grumble, stew for tea tonight... Ohh we had a lovely stew during the time wars....". Not a particularly alluring image is it?
Well David, cheers, enjoy your run of Shakespeare. Have fun and enjoy whatever projects you take on in the future. I for one am utterly glad to see you doing something different rather than getting stuck in a rut and becoming "former Doctor Who David Tennant...". I won't name names but too many have got caught like that. On the reverse of that look at the still enduring appeal of Tom Baker?
I heard somewhere that D.T was keen to get into films, I'd be very interested to see if that comes about and in what form.
See always something around the next corner!
