David Tennant is one of the most famous choices for playing the part of Doctor Who to perfection. In fact, many fans think David Tennant Doctor Who is the best portrayal in the entire series. It comes as no big surprise given that Tennant is a tremendous actor by all means, in Doctor Who, the Doctor’s regenerations have always been a bit unpredictable.
But the Doctor’s recent transformation was the most surprising and mysterious one yet. Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor left in an episode called “The Power of the Doctor.” This time, the Doctor took on a face that fans know well. The Doctor transformed into the appearance of him once again.
Catching Up on Doctor Who
In the last season’s finale, Jodie Whittaker’s 13th Doctor turned into Tennant, surprising everyone as people expected a new Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa from Sex Education. But even though Tennant’s face is familiar, it doesn’t mean this is the same Doctor he played before.
Tennant shared, “That was the first exciting twist that Russell created. I was going to be Doctor No. 14, not Doctor No. 10 again. You’ll have to wait to find out why the 14th Doctor is so much like the 10th.” The mischief is dripping from the words.
Ageing Like Fine Wine
Tennant is a literal manifestation of the phrase ageing like fine wine. He has been appearing in major movies and series since the early 2000s. His achievements do not diminish at all. Remember Barty Crouch Jr from Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire?
The sheer sinister aspect of the character was enough to send shivers down everyone’s spines. Perhaps the man is immortal after all and will not age. It is all the better for us. We eagerly await his performances.
Theories About Reappearance
Doctor Who’s ratings have seen a decline since Matt Smith’s departure. Some feel this decline started after the 50th-anniversary special, “Day of the Doctor,” which brought back Tennant. The quality of the writing was criticized during Peter Capaldi’s time as the Doctor and got worse with Jodie Whittaker.
Some viewers found the episodes either boring or frustrating due to illogical plot points, like the one where the moon was depicted as an egg that hatched and caused gravity issues, yet the replacement egg had the same mass. This contradicted the principle of mass conservation.
Bringing back Tennant, Catherine Tate, and show-runner Russell T Davies is a way to show that the series is returning to better times before introducing a new Doctor next year. Tennant was willing to return.
Nine years ago, there was a report that he and Matt Smith had so much fun filming “The Day of the Doctor” that they suggested continuing the series with both of them taking turns as the Doctor.
However, by then, Peter Capaldi had already been cast, and it was too late to make such a change. Perhaps the Doctor Who David Tennant Catherine Tate duo will save the series now.
The Best Doctor
Tennant played The Doctor extremely well. He didn’t just act like The Doctor, he became a character like no one else. His amazing performance was flawless and left a strong impact, making him unforgettable.
Time and time again, he portrayed the Doctor’s moments of anger and sweetness, and his acting felt real and intense, especially when the Doctor was furious. His ability to make every line believable and emotional is impressive. Even now, it’s surprising how quickly he can get into character. He is one of the most flawless characters around.
Where is David Tennant Now?
David Tennant wife is Georgia Moffett. The couple first met in 2008 while working on the Doctor Who episode “The Doctor’s Daughter.” In this episode, she portrayed the genetically created daughter of Tennant’s Tenth Doctor.
