Doctor Who: David Tennant + Russell T. Davies, the Metzger Interview (Boing Boing Video) 

Effulgent. EFFULGENT. David Tennant just used the word effulgent in a sentence. THIS MAN.

I'm always stunned when they refer to Doctor Who as a children's show.

Steven Mophat is great at writing complex intricate stories that surprised but Rustle T Davies's talent is at writing characters, which is what doctor who really is.

Just saw David Tennant in "Single Father". Fantastic work, simply superb. You'd never get a role like that in Hollywood. I'd rather see Tennant as a working actor in quality roles, than a Hollywood star.

Love Russell T Davies.

I think RTD and DT have some great chemistry I can't wait to see if they work together again

Lets not leave children scarred for life... *puts on gas mask* muuuuummmmy? Are you there mummy?

While I've often had my doubts about RTD's writing, there's no doubting his commitment and passion; and Dave is without doubt the best thing to happen to the series for a very very long time. So, lovely relaxed interview, and it actually makes them glad to see them go.. in a good way.

If you watch David's behind the scenes vlogs for the specials you see just how emotional it made him, which in turn makes me emotional.

David's unironed shirt reminds me of DI Alec Hardy. Foreshadowing?

David looks tiny sitting next to Russell haha

David Tennant's laugh at 18:15 is the best thing I have ever heard. Ever! :)

Great interview with 2 legends! Thanks for posting.

A great interview thanks for sharing David and Russel are Legends !!!!

Thank you so much for posting this - so interesting - and so great to see david so relaxed!! Well done

what a lovely interview, thanks for posting

Excellent video interview. David & Russell you are to be congratulated on a very informative, tactful and memory-making interview and /or follow-up to the years that you both participated in Dr. Who. To the person or persons that recorded and/or prepared this video --kudos and many thanks.

God was it ever crazy! I completely agree; gal two rows in front of me during the panel was in tears because she didn't get to ask a question! Totally nuts. Lucky you for meeting Davies.

David was my first doctor and is my favorite doctor... he was amazing and showed a side of the doctor that i came to love...so well done sir well done...

All the questions I would have asked, really. :-) Thank you so, so much, Mr. Metzger. David and Russell will ALWAYS be loved!

bless David's heart he's so cute :)

Great interview! The bloke asking the questions knew his stuff!

Well said, there were times that Dr Who was just a punchline, but my how the worm has turned! It is now rock solid. Let us see what the brilliant and talented Moffat brings to the already huge success left behind by Russell and David. They kicked it up several notches! Well done gentlemen.

fascinating interview,really interesting ! love tennant and davies and hope they go on to work together again.

Excellent interview!

Never seen this interview before its brilliant and when he says when are u going to be working together again here we are 14 years later russel and david on doctor who again 😆

Hahaha, I think Tennant's waistline certainly got bigger in the 50th anniversary, the suit looked so tight on him. It didn't even feel right at all when Matt's doctor called him "proper skinny". Still waiting for Russell to write another script for David.... This is like waiting for George RR Martin to write the next GoT book.

I love how they evaded the question at the end for like 4 mins.

Aw you know, I was filled with pride to hear an American call The Doctor "the coolest guy in the galaxy".

9:03 HAHAHA I LOVE his laugh. Its so funny and cute and makes me want him even more ;)

I've watched a few of these recent episodes on DVD. I think they're a great addition to the old series, among the best.

wow that was one brilliant interview :-)

RTD!!! He is such an inspiration. I love his writing~

RTD and David. Very nice, guys!

@havering1 thanks for the tip. I checked it out and it sounds a TAD awkward but definitely makes me happy to hear.

I love those two :P though when together they are slightly insane. David is so amazing :)

Chris regenerated, and I felt like I could never accept David as The Doctor. And then one season later I was totally drawn into David's amazing portrayal. Now I've almost forgotten about Chris. And then David regenerated and it was an incredible scene. But it was just so sad. I'm going to miss David so much...

These two are such fun to watch. XD

David and Christopher will always be the best doctors.

Brilliant interview. Damn, quite clearly in HD you can see the 'girl holding the baby' in the trailer is NOT Rose. :(

Congrats to David on his wedding!!!

I miss his doctor so much...

'HeHe Yah!' Aww....David

Tennant is wearing my old school uniform!

David Tennant is hands down my favorite actor in existence!! but i have to tip my hat to Matt Smith because he will always be my Doctor. But on the other hand...Tennant was absolutely brilliant! So both are very loved in my heart! :)

Wow. This is the first time I've read a youtube comment and completely agreed with everything it said. You must be an awesome person.

I'll miss David :(

I was so sad to see them go.

Did any Torchwood fan notice that the lady in the beginning who says "Which is what?" is the same actress as Gwen Cooper's mum?

I have Single Father and I absolutely love every moment of it!!! I agree with David and Russell about knowing about a film, really I don't want to know so I can be surprised and shocked by the movie or show. I hate it when the plot is given away!!! I loved every time I saw a new show of Doctor Who because it was always new and exciting!! I would have loved to seen David and Russell at the 2009 Comic Con!!! I watched Doctor Who when I was a kid and Tom Baker was my Doctor and now David is!!

Everyone is capable of feelings. Even if it is a little bit. So the The Tenth Doctor is one of the best, regardless on his feelings towards another person.

After Christopher left I thought the same thing, but now after David was on for such a long time IMO he is the only Doctor. I will truly miss David as Dr Who.

@Alithe That was Lindsay Duncan. Mary Cooper was played by Sharon Morgan. :)

@Prence *s* know what you mean! I still haven't decided who my very best-ever Doctor is yet - David or Tom. No doubt that DT's are the best shows ever [so far!]- FX, music, the technology is awesome, the writing is allowed to go into areas previously forbidden - it all came together beautifully and DT crowned it marvellously. But Doctor Who was always cutting-edge, even back in the 60s!

100% agree!!

yay!

I grew up with Tom Baker as The Doctor in the seventies, but David Tenant as The Doctor? Brilliant!

@Prence Chirstopher was my 1st Dr (excepting clips I'd glanced at) and I was really worried when he left. But David just blew every1 else out of the water, he is the defining Doctor of my generation, in yrs 2 come ppl will talk of him the same way Tom Baker was spoken of b4 2005. I can't say anything bad aboout Chris though, David just exceeded him. Smith is actually good too, not as good but worthy successor

Finally someone brought up Littleradge

9:03 the giggle! the giggle! *faints*

These two look like father and son! haha.

@TheSeverusSnape I fully agree with you in that David has done brilliant work without being in Hollywood!! I'd rather see him in work like Single Father, United, & his various other projects like Decoy Bride. He is such a talented actor both in Theatre & TV that I think he won't have to wait long for work!! Quality work is better than being in Hollywood too many remakes, movies that are over done like Friday the 13, & Halloween Ugh! There is no variety, imagination, & no guts to be different.

@Prence this happened in the old days, too - each was Doctor for about three years, and eveyrone said, "they'll never replace him" but they managed it each time - it just takes some adjusting to. Chris Ecclestone didn't really stay long enough to imprint himself as "the" Doctor, so for you young 'uns. this will be your first time/

These two really make great television together. Russell will come up with something to involve David, again. Even if its only 1 episode of a new series. Or a recurring character, perhaps. Does anyone else find it a bit odd becoming accustomed to seeing David without the sideburns? Or is that just me?

David's giggle at 9:03 ASDGGJ

I noticed that toooo!! Distinct creases in strange parts of the shirt front and some wrinkles across the shoulders. Wonder who did his ironing or packed his case?? :) Also noticed 4 buttons set close together but the rest of the placket had the buttons spaced usually. Why? Plus, gotta love a man who can drop "effulgent" into a tv interview!!

14:24 Russels like "Damn right"

i didn't notice it in the Doctor but in Torchwood it was very obvious.

a 20 minute YT vid!WOW!

My one complant about Russel was how he pretty much killed off, par one or two, Daleks. They were my favourite villains, nd when i startedgetting into he show, they were the first ones I saw.

Yeah I know that, I'm english myself. I was wondering what the guy meant by "its common in britain", but I figured it out now.

Does anyone else think the interviewer is just a random lookalike of David Tennant with Russel T Davies glasses on?

anybody know what those two keep looking at...cuz they do it like perfectly in sync its hilarious!!!

Where are those scenes from in the begining if the video

Steven Moffat has written all my favorites: Girl in the Fireplace, Blink, and The Empty Child. The show is in good hands.

Atleast Russel is still writing Torchwood and Sarh Jane Adventures!

looks ace

nope. it isn't out yet. i think it comes out this Christmas.

I really miss him as the Doctor. I hope I can get used to 11 before he has to go.

@rocklee1397 no, i don't think we do, he was a very good doctor and i respect his work ALOT

@Nimue1985 I agree. David Tennant was the best of the doctors I know. When he was regenerating I was so mad. The new guy is not that good in my opion.

Clearly, that would be a GREAT decision!

so i went back and watched Blink again...Moffat is damn good friend.

the best doctor ever

I've just got really hyped for the Doctor Who universe now. I just heard that Torchwood is definatly getting a series 4 as well as a spin off set in America, but using the orignal production team. But the cherry on top is that River Song, the Doctor's future companion (wife?????) is gonna b in Series 5. CXan some1 set me straight on something. Russel T Davies has stepped down as Executive producer on Dr who, but is he still involved with its spin offs or has he just left all of the shows

@makesomenoiiise if you mean accents: English in England, Scottish in Scotland, Welsh in Wales and Irish in Ireland. But then you have regional accents; for example, someone from Somerset sounds completely different to someone from Yorkshire.

so the doctor knows that he will regenerate in that episode

@Linmae90 - reminds me of when Hamster is talking to Jeremy Clarkson

More work for David in front of the camera. Why isn't he doing more? Voiceover for Scrooge McDuck?? Waste of talent. His range is amazing. His looks are drop dead gorgeous. Get him doing more movies, TV.

Not it wasn't. That's Lindsay Duncan as Captain Adalaide Brooke at 0:21, whereas Gwen's mum was played by Sharon Morgan.

I can't really imagine David doing the adventures from series 5. Surely I mean they would be slightly different, but it's likely that all the same adventures, roughly, were had. And Matt Smith just seems so much of a better fit for Steven Moffat's Doctor Who.

yes i can

@turquoisebutterfly91 That's what I thought, but then David said Season so I was confused. Wasn't the Classic Series made up of Seasons, though?

@Nimue1985 me too! I had to skip school I was so distraught!

Ahh exactly how i saw the Matrix for the first time. I was on a tour with a group (school stuff) and in the evening someone said hey there is this great movie in the cinemas lets go. And I was more like... Yeah ok why not. So we went --> Mind blown.

18:15 giggle

Did Russel leak Matt Smith being the new doctor in this vid! This video came out 4 months before the end of time. I wonder if he got into trouble for that

The day I see his last episode I will cry harder then I did when him and Rose splitt up. *sigh* WHY CAN'T HE STAY!?!?!

It's weird that his normal Scottish accent sounds so put on after hearing him on the show. :P

@xPrincessKx i think David Tennant is reli kool because he was was born within 30 miles of me and came from a similar background. and plus... what an actor!and he seems like a realy nice guy.
