Dawn have you seen the new BBC 1 advert for "who do you think you are" (dunno if you have seen it before, but basically where celebs trace their ancestors, I've not seen many but those I saw were brilliant - Moira Stewart traced her ancestry pretty quickly to the Caribbean and the results were really moving) - anyway, in the advert it looks like David Tennant is in this series - he's shown holding up a skull and saying "this could be an ancestor ROFL!" - NICE!

Anyway, he always seems good humoured so I bet his will be really interesting

(and the video shown was avec beard... if that sways you he hee he hee)

Well I am back (hope this doesn't count as a double post as that one was almost a couple of hours ago).

That was very good and very thought provoking. Nice to see David actually looking it up on the computer himself, I know there's just got to be loads of people digging behind the scenes for this but it was nice to see him doing some himself (the Scots ancestry website is a really good one too).

And I now have a claim to fame, that we have the same watering can as David's parents Grin

Great episode, that Irish protestant connection gave him a lot to think about.

Oh they are sneeky I just realised today that when the Dr introduces himself as Dr James McCrimmon in Tooth and Claw, he's nicked the name from his old assistant Jamie, which was before my time but I just cottoned on today Roll Eyes

I saw on Teletext that they are taking a comment David made in an interview for the doctor who magazine, that series two might be his last Shocked. What he said was;

David was also asked the 64-million dollar question: would he like to sign up to film a third series?

"It's a funny question, that, isn't it? As soon as I accepted this job, the first question I got asked was, 'How long are you staying?'

"It's difficult to judge, because there's an element of being in a long-running show that's a gamble, because I am 35 now, and if I stayed in this for as long as it was humanly possible, I'd still have to have some kind of a career at the other end of it, so it's judging when is the right moment to go.

"I think I now know how many series I'm going to do, and Russell, Julie, and I have talked about it, and will continue to talk about it, but I think it would be stupid of me to say more than that right now - anything can happen, and everything can change..."

I know what he means, thinking back on the doctors not many have had much of a career after. Although I would be very dissapointed if he only made two series.

I am hopeful though because I have read that RTD has already got plans on the third series, so hopefully that is including David's doctor. Although the third series hasn't even been commsioned yet as far as I know.

Teletext also said David is going to be doing a film next year, starting in May. Now how long will that take? Will in fit in the gap between doctors, or will it take longer and therefore point to him not coming back :-(

Personally I would feel very cheated if he only did two, but I would be happy to accept three before he goes off to find pastures new. Hope you are listening David  Wink


(I'd hate to be interviewed, people leap on to anything Roll Eyes )

I will be very sad if he does quit so soon.  I think he is a great Dr and has kept the series going where I fear Christopher may have let it slip.  What I don't understand though is that when he took the part he raved about how much he loved Dr Who and it was a life time ambition to have the part.  And now, after just two series, he is worried about being type cast?  Peter Davison did very nicely thank you and I don't think Peter Cushing regretted taking the part.  Sorry to sound miffed, but I am.  I am fed up with actors wingeing about being type cast after a few episodes - they should be grateful the paying public recognises and wants to watch them at all.

Yes but CE said how it was he was so happy to be the Doctor and then couldn't hack more than one series.

Although I do have a feeling David will do three and thats it. But I'll be ok with three, but I would be very dissapointed by only two Sad

But then it probably depends how he is feeling at the time, and he said it could change either way.

Well I hope I'm not the only one who totally love the Christmas episode, they were great together. Personally I think Cathrine would have made a great assistant. Well done all concerned.
