On Saturday 11th February 2017 The Times Magazine printed an interview with David Tennant. In the article David discussed his views on various things such as Scottish independence, the BBC reading out people's texts on shows, Doctor Who, Broadchurch, Mad To Be Normal and Don Juan In Soho. The Times is a subscription newspaper so we will not breach their copyright by posting the full article but it is available to read for free by subscribing to their site. The article is titled 'David Tennant: I’m no heart-throb' and David's quote in the article about that is "I think your heart would have to be very throbless to throb for me." The interviewer, Charlotte Edwardes, describes David as 'He’s polite and engaged and almost unnervingly present. There’s no drifting off or looking at his phone or watch. He locks eyes: ready. And aside from the eyes and cheekbones and limbs, there’s little of him – unsurprising given his alert energy, his electric zeal, his workload that means zigzagging the country. He must have the metabolism of a greyhound.' The quote used yesterday to promote the article was about Scotland going independent, however the article explains it as: 'Despite being a lifelong Labour supporter, he gives Jeremy Corbyn a verbal kicking, saying, “I’m waiting for a great new leader,” and calls everything to do with Brexit “depressing”. He says, “And I’m now at the point where I think if Scotland goes again for a referendum, they should go independent,” before adding, “Politically, I think we’re in for quite a dark time.” But he won’t do “a Glenda Jackson” and go into politics because he says he’s not clever enough and couldn’t “deal with” Question Time. “If I could go on Question Time I would,” he promises. “If I really believed I could make a difference, I would. But I feel there are cleverer people who could do it better. I do think there’s a danger in going, ‘Because you’ve seen me in a television programme, my views are more important than someone else’s.’ And there’s a danger in being drawn into proselytising for whatever cause you’re currently passionate about, and I think you just have to use up that capital sparingly. Because also there is no reason why anyone should listen to anything I have to say. Anything.” But he’s so earnest and committed (and handsome). “My personal views will come out in interviews because I end up talking about them,” he says. “But I don’t expect other people to follow them just because they’re mine.”' About Broadchurch David spoke about how he likes working with Olivia Colman and the article says about the third series 'they’re on screen most of the time' which is great news for fans of the duo. About acting in general the interviewer wrote David 'claims to be terribly insecure. “I am! I am!” But what about? “Everything.” Why? “This kind of job does that to you. Anything where you have to keep being creative means you have to keep being a bit scared because it’s part of what keeps you trying to be better and makes you assume you don’t know what you’re doing. You have to keep challenging and questioning and trying and the side effect of that is that you are often feeling that you’re not managing. Part of trying to be good is believing that you’re not.” In part, this was his upbringing because although supportive, his parents didn’t want to encourage him in a “negative” way. "Don’t tell him he’s any good!’ That was the way it was then.”' The article then continues to discuss David's father, his upbringing, his diet as a child and that he doesn't like sport (except tennis). It also claims that he has only ever missed one episode of Doctor Who. David also discusses his forthcoming movie Mad To Be Normal and his play which opens next month, Don Juan In Soho, who he describes about being sexually depraved as "I guess there’s something terrifyingly liberating about it. To strip myself of the Scottish Presbyterian upbringing – which is scaffolded in guilt – and dip my feet into a sea of freedom, sexually and morally, will be rather titillating.
I don’t think I’d like to live my life that way, but I’m quite looking forward to doing it for 90 minutes a night." The photographer, David Titlow, posted the following collection of unused photos from the article to his blog:

The David Tennant Treat 4 Today is a MP3 from the 2005 BBC Radio Four revival of the classic television police drama Dixon Of Dock Green. David Tennant starred as PC Andy Crawford in Dixon Of Dock Green which premiered on BBC Radio Four on Wednesday 15th June 2005. It has been repeated several times on both BBC Radio Four and BBC Radio Four Extra since 2005. Dixon Of Dock Green's roots go back to the 1950 film The Blue Lamp which ended with PC George Dixon (who was famously played on television by Jack Warner) being shot dead. However, Jack Warner's role was resurrected for the BBC television series which ran for 432 episodes from 1955 to 1976. Each episode famously started with Dixon saying "Evening all." The theme music used on the radio show was the same which was used on the television series. David Tennant only appears in Series One as he had commitments to Doctor Who after the recording. Hamish Clark took over David's role as PC Crawford for the second series. PC George Dixon was played by David Calder on the radio. There were six episodes in the first radio series. The first episode was titled London Pride and the description is: 'George Dixon is showing new boy in blue Andy Crawford the ropes on the beat of Dock Green in London's East End. Much to PC Crawford's surprise, Dixon is prepared to bend the rules in order to arrest one of a gang of safebreakers.' This episode was first broadcast on BBC Radio Four on Wednesday 15th June 2005.
