David’s last Radio Times interview as the Doctor…
The Christmas issue of Radio Times, which is out now, features their last ever interview with David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor.
As you can imagine, there’s plenty of nostalgia in the air as the actor tells the magazine about his time working on the show!
“It has been a real dream time of my life,” he said. “The Doctor was always my hero. It was watching Doctor Who as a child that made me want to be an actor. So there have been moments when I thought: ‘Can I really give this up?’ In the end, I just had to force myself to take a deep breath and jump.”
He continued: “There’s something about the kind of imagination the show fosters that I’m proud to be part of. The stories take you, emotionally and ethically, to interesting areas, and I think it’s brilliant that a Saturday-night TV programme should have that ambition.”
And on New Year’s Day, the Tenth Doctor will bow out to an audience of millions.
“The final story takes my breath away,” he finished. “Doctor Who has meant so much to me. It’s great to sign off with a flourish.”
