♥ There should be laws passed making David Tennant and John Barrowman and The JLS boys illegal on the grounds of being ridiculously too attractive...certainly far too attractive for their own good! ♥
♥ Hi. We are trying to organise a campaign to get the BBC to feature John and The JLS boys as the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car on Top Gear.
If you agree please log onto

and use the Make a suggestion section to plead with the Top Gear producers to put them on.
The more feedback they get the more likely it will happen!! ARE YOU WITH US!!!! ♥
Shame the telly bosses relegated old Rab C to another channel...back in the day...we were all laughing at this show...it's still a classic here up north. who'd have thought David Tennant would've had fun playing this role?. Shame he's defected to the "other side" and bang goes his credibility with it...
Speaking as a trans woman, I totally think trans characters should only be played by trans actors and that to give trans roles to cis actors both hamstrings the performance and steals opportunities from trans actors. But for David Tennant? I would happily make an exception, if only to swoon 🥰
Davina is so gorgeous, I know this was early 90s & people weren’t as open minded as they are now, but wtf was she doing flirting with all those guys who were sooooo far below her league
could not understand half of what was being said because of the scottish and the quality but definitely an interesting bit of the past lol, especially considering david was so damn pretty like this, what the hell!! dude really can do it all!
I'm a transgender woman, I work in a very stereotypically masculine environment- heavy industry, and honestly I'm so sad that I can't find higher quality clips of this character without the more problematic elements cut out. Because those elements are still around!, I experience them every day. this was a surprisingly sympathetic comedic portrayal of a transsexual character from the before times. When people like us still hid what we were at all costs. Sure a lot of the language is dated and would be considered offensive now, but a lot of people still think like that today. And because the understanding of trans stuff was so limited back then, exactly what HRT and the like, can do for a person-Tennant's character isn't this perfect ideal of a transgender woman, played by a rich actress with the best plastic surgeons and endocrinologists on speed dial, his character? she just looks like him, David Tennant, meticulously made up to look like a girl. The former self, but girly and hot. You know,? Like a lot of working class transgender women do. But she's still like, coded to be incredibly feminine and alluring. The joke is never that she's hideous and obvious, it's that people can kinda tell but can't help themselves anyway. Every bit that centres around the guys freaking out- they start to worry they are gay because they fancy the trans girl- it's fucking hilarious. They will say vile things about her- but when they actually speak to her, they stumble. I get to experience that confusion on a daily basis, I get to experience the absurdity of being a woman that guys are kind of embarrassed to want, but can't help but act like pigs around anyway. When she sarcastically says "Bollocks?"- I was fucking cheering for her, lmao.
I can only imagine the 90s being bad. It was horrible for gays, despite the post AIDS and CW era. I'll never forget that poor boy being beaten to death by his bullies.
@@falconeshield I was very young during the 90's, but I honestly blame a lack of education on these topics and the framing of transgender people in media I consumed growing up for me not really understanding what was going on with me for a very long time. I knew I wanted to be a girl, even when I was very young. But when everyone tells you it's impossible, and the first places you see ever transgender people are as corpses in crime drama's and punchlines in sitcoms- with confusing or nonsensical portrayals, followed by villains in horror movies- freaks in south park and porn you find as a teenager, I never really put the two together. I Never really grasped that I was looking at a kinda distorted depiction of a person who was supposed to be just like me. When I was growing up, you would still be attacked on the spot if you admitted you were gay, let alone trans. If more characters had been depicted like this, still open to be joked about- but in a sympathetic and nuanced way, a way that actually explains what this person is going through- and doesn't paint the people mocking them as heroic or correct. I might have twigged a little earlier that this really was something I always kind of wanted for myself.
There is another vid with the more dubious bits cut out, but I’d say that actually the whole thing is laughing at the men and saying how silly and small they are. For the 90’s rabs attitude is very progressive. I grew up queer in the 90’s. I wish I’d grown up now, would have saved me years of not knowing what I was. I’m so glad things have changed. David has always been a champion of the LGBTQ+ community.
Боже мой это прекрасно, почему он или она короче Дэвид так красив в таком образе просто завораживает, я уже потеряла счёт количество просто этого видео и каждый раз я влюбилась снова мне нужна больше! Я целый сериал бы посмотрела только про неё И да кстати, что это за язык ? или они промежутками говорят на английском потом на другом?
Theyre speaking english, but with an extremely heavy scottish accent. Im very good at english but i can barely understand it. Its almost a different language at this point 😂
aww this is honestly the nicest way i've seen trans humour done on british TV from this era lol. could do without the laugh track undercutting but what can you do. even non-trans jokes from this era were unfunny with a shit laugh track lol
Agreed. As much as parts of it make you wince, other parts are surprisingly sensitive. Crucially, she's not the main butt of the jokes unlike other programmes.
It was an old Scottish comedy show called Rab C Nesbitt about a drunken Glaswegian, his family and friends in the early 90s. I think this was one of Tennant's first roles on TV.
I'm going to assume you mean well. However, your question is both hard to understand and insulting to trans people. If someone chooses to go as She in her life, then she's definitely not a he. A better way of asking is, is she trans? In this case yes, the character is trans, and she is a she. While it is appropriate to ask this about a character in a show, it is not appropriate to ask a person you meet in real life. Hope this helped!
Something about Moffett not wanting to make a commentary on drag in this current political climate. Even though clothes are inanimate objects made from various other inanimate objects and have nothing to do with a person's identity.
