David Tennant Treat 4 Today for Friday 26th November 2010

David Tennant Treat 4 Today for Thursday 25th November 2010
The book today is called End Of Ten and is by Stephen James Walker.
The book was published by Telos in August 2010 and is available at this link and is £30 for the hardback and £14.99 for the paperback (plus postage in both cases).
It is about 220 pages in length but less than half of those pages are proper narrative. The remaining pages are about the cast (David Tennant gets one page), synposis of the Specials, about the ratings and even all the comic strips.
I must admit that I haven't read all this book. When it first arrived I was disappointed at how little narrative there was and how much statistical type of data. I then started reading and was horrified that the first paragraph said that the Specials were because David was playing Hamlet and not the other way around!
I think that for a complete collection you should buy the book but that's about all.
Below are scans of the first few pages of the book. Click on each one for a larger version.

The David Tennant Treat 4 Today is a mini quiz and a treat for all fans of Hamlet.
On Saturday 23rd October at 8pm (repeated on Monday 25th at 3pm) BBC Radio 4 aired a documentary on Hamlet, including David Tennant's interpretation. It was presented by Michael Sheen who will be playing the role in London in 2011.
One section was about the famous "To be or not to be" soliloquy and they played a collaboration of several actors delivering lines from the speech.
Can you tell which part is spoken by David Tennant?

It was released in 1999 and for some reason is barely mentioned among David's fans nowadays but it's well worth watching.

Heidi has suggested this play and has cleverly pointed out that the final part of the play was first broadcast seven years ago today.
The play is called The Rotters' Club and David plays Bill Anderton/Fudge.
The description of the play is "Jonathan Coe's touching tale of musical, political and sexual passion in 1970s Birmingham. The Rotters Club is for anyone who ever experienced adolescence the hard way."

DavidTennantOnTwitter.com posted this radio play back in September but somebody sent an email about it this week which prompted it becoming the David Tennant Treat 4 Today.
Paint Her Well is a radio play which was broadcast on 11th March 1996 on Radio 4 as part of the Monday Play series.
It was written by Iain McClure and directed by Patrick Rainer. David played the character known as The Son.
"A woman in a painting is identical to a woman in a painting that is far older.
The artist seeks an explanation."

David Tennant Treat 4 Today for Wednesday 17th November 2010
The David Tennant Treat 4 Today has been chosen by Patricia Gardener.
Patricia explains the reason she has chosen this photo as:
"This picture shows how relaxed and comfortable he is in his now Post-Who days. Moving towards the regeneration, he was looking tired and (dare I say it) older - that might have been a conscious decision by the make up people to enhance the effect of a Doctor nearing the end of the current life. But now ... with the Fright Night pictures, how youthful he looked in Single Father and this picture - one wonders if he has a portrait in the attic, gradually ageing .... "
The photo is a promo picture from when David was on Ask Rhod Gilbert last month.
