David Reads Dead Air

Missing the doctor? Then fear not! Another exclusive to audio Doctor Who adventure read by David is due for release.
'Dead Air' by James Goss features the Tenth Doctor and will be on sale from 4th March 2010.
Synopsis follows:

`Hello, I'm the Doctor. And, if you can hear this, then one of us is going to die.'
At the bottom of the sea, in the wreck of a floating radio station, a lost recording has been discovered. After careful restoration, it is played for the first time - to reveal something incredible. It is the voice of the Doctor, broadcasting from Radio Bravo in 1966. He has travelled to Earth in search of the Hush - a terrible weapon that kills, silences and devours anything that makes noise - and has tracked it to a boat crewed by a team of pirate DJs. With the help of feisty Liverpudlian Layla and some groovy pop music, he must trap the Hush and destroy it - before it can escape and destroy the world...
Written specially for audio by James Goss and read by David Tennant, Dead Air features the Doctor as played by David Tennant in the acclaimed hit series from BBC Television.

Murder In Samarkand For BBC Radio 4

David has recently finished recording Murder In Samarkand for BBC Radio 4.
The play, by David Hare, is based on the memoirs of Craig Murray, the British Ambassador to Uzbekistan from 2002 to 2004.
David will be taking on the part of Craig Murray while Jemima Rooper will play Nadira Alieva.
It will be broadcast as the Saturday Play on BBC Radio 4 on Saturday 20th February 2010 at 14:30pm.
Visit Craig Murray's website for further information on his story here.

Lauren Thorpe who is the RSC's Development Department Campaign Co-Ordinator says:

More info on the Transforming Theatres Appeal is below:

Actor David Tennant lent his support to the Transforming our Theatres Appeal when he visited the site of the new theatre, the first time since performing Hamlet at The Courtyard Theatre last year. Following a tour of the new buildings, David took his seat in the main auditorium, which is currently under construction, to raise awareness of the Take a Seat appeal.

Over 500 seats have already been named in the auditorium, some for a favourite actor, director or to mark an anniversary, for an individual or to commemorate somebody’s life. Actors who have already had a seat named after them include David Suchet, John Thaw, Ian Richardson and Dame Peggy Ashcroft, so there’s plenty of opportunity for people to name a seat after a favourite actor.
The transformation of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre is due for completion at the end of 2010 at a cost of £112.8 million. There is still £10 million left to raise and there are a number of different ways that the public can contribute, from dropping their spare change in collection buckets to sponsoring a brick online.
Caroline Jones, Director of Development, said:
‘We’ve been overwhelmed with support for the project. Over 7,000 people from 43 different countries have made donations towards the re-building of our theatres in Stratford-upon-Avon. People haven given to the appeal for lots of different reasons, often it’s because of the important role that the RSC has played in their lives and now they’re pleased to be able to give something back.
‘We still have some way to go. Raising money in the current economic climate is tough but I’m confident that, with our track record of success and the excitement surrounding this project, we will reach our target. Naming a Seat in the new auditorium is a way to contribute vital funds to the project, as well as creating a strong association with the Company and our future. David’s support for the seat appeal means a lot to us.’

Your Top 10 Doctor Who Episodes

Last week we asked you to email us with your favourite Doctor Who episode, so that we could make up your Top 10 of David's Doctor Who adventures...

Thank you so much to all of you who voted.. and there were a lot of you! We have to say we were quite surprised at the eventual winner, but only because of the amazing competition it beat off and it did thoroughly deserve to win.

Anyway enough of all that let's get on with the results.... starting backwards and 10 and working up to the episode you named as your No.1 Doctor Who Episode...

10. The End Of Time Part 2

What's it about:

The Doctor faces the end of his life as the Master's plans hurtle out of control. With the sound of drums growing louder, and an ancient trap closing around the Earth, the Doctor and Wilf must fight alone. But sacrifices must be made, and the deadly prophecy warns: "He will knock four times."

You say:

Sara Hughes: 'I cried buckets of tears during The End Of Time Part 2 but loved every single second of it. David will be missed.'

Marc Jefferies: 'The dynamic between the Doctor and Wilf is just lovely. The scene were the Doctor realises that it is Wilf who will cause his eventual death and the way both actors handle it is just heartbreaking.'

Phillipa Howard: 'The part were the Doctor visits Rose before he met her had me weeping like a baby. I would have liked to have seen just one more kiss between the pair though!'

9. The Unicorn And The Wasp

What's it about:

In 1926, Agatha Christie disappeared for 10 days. Was it amnesia? A nervous breakdown? Or a Giant Alien Wasp..?  The Doctor and Donna join forces with the world's most famous crime novelist to encounter a body in the library, poisoned cocktails and a Vespiform seeking revenge.

You say:

Laura Greene: 'This was a really fun episode. I loved everything about it.'

Simone Farrell: 'The whole setting of The Unicorn And The Wasp was brilliant. The costumes were gorgeous, the guest cast were briiliant. Fennella Woolgar was a revelation. I adored her as Agatha Christie and David was on top comedic form. I never tire of watching this.'

Adam Grant: 'I've always been a fan of the historical Who episodes and The Unicorn And The Wasp show how it should be done properly.'

8. Blink

What's it about:

In an old, abandoned house, the Weeping Angels wait, as Russell T Davies' Doctor Who continues. However, when people start disappearing, a young woman called Sally finds cryptic messages bleeding through from 1969 – messages from a mysterious stranger called the Doctor. But can she decipher them before the Angels claim their prize?

You say:

Helena Watkinson: 'Even though this a Doctor Lite episode, I still love it. The weeping angels have to be the scariest of all the new Dr Who monsters.'

Peter Ashley: 'The way they did this with the film of David being shown on the DVDs was just so clever, it made the Doctor an integral part of the story even though he was hardly there physically.'

Jamie Ford: 'I loved Blink. It was a really spooky episode and I think Sally Sparrow would have made a great future companion. Perhaps Matt Smith could come and pick her up!'

7. Gridlock

What's it about:

The Doctor just can't keep away from New Earth, and he's got a new companion to impress, so he and Martha are soon off on a quick jaunt to New New York. Their trip doesn't turn out quite how the Doctor imagined though as the inhabitants of the city are preoccupied with regulating their own emotions, clogging motorways, and making good their escape. So what lies at the heart of this desperate and spectacular city?

 
You say:
Emily: ' I adore everything about Gridlock, but the speech the Doctor makes to Martha about Gallifrey has me in tears every time.'
Fiona Sutton: 'You really start to see the relationship between the Doctor and Martha start to grow in Gridlock and the whole thing were hesits her down to tell her about Gallifrey is just so touching.'
Hugh Bennett: 'The Gallifrey scene is classic. David stole the whole episode with that one scene.'
 
6. Midnight

What's it about:
The Doctor is trapped, alone, powerless and terrified, on the planet Midnight. Soon, the knocking on the wall begins. Only a woman called Sky seems to know the truth – but as paranoia turns into a witch-hunt, Sky turns the Doctor's greatest strengths against him, and a sacrifice must be made...


You say:
Jenny: 'Truly terrifying.'
Claire Matthews: 'David shines throughout Midnight. He should win every acting award in the planet if only for this episode.'
Kenny: 'Midnight cements David's place as the greatest Doctor of all time.'
 
5. Forest Of The Dead

What's it about:
As the shadows rise and march, the Doctor forges an alliance with the mysterious River Song. But can anyone stop the Vashta Nerada? While the Doctor discovers long-buried secrets and revelations about his own future, the sinister Nodes declare that Donna is doomed.
 
You say:
Jan: 'The Forest Of The Dead is my fave episode of Doctor Who because I love the ending when River Song sacrifices herself for the Doctor. It gets me choked up every single time I watch it.'
Ian Evans: 'David and Alex Kingston really work well together and make The Forest Of The Dead my top epiosde.'
Alice: 'I love how sassy the charcter of River Song is and the Vashta Nerada are super scary!'
 
4. The Family Of Blood

What's it about:

It's 1913 in England and war has come a year in advance as the terrifying Family hunt for the Doctor. But, while John Smith refuses to accept his destiny as a Time Lord, the women in his life, Martha and Joan, have to take terrible measures to save the whole of history, as Russell T Davies' Doctor Who continues.

You say:

Katie: 'The Family Of Blood is my all time favourite epsiode ever. The ending where the Doctor has to return to being a TimeLord and leave his new found love Joan behind is so sad. I just she had gone with him. He was quite cruel to her though so I was glad to see he visited her grandaughter to see how she got on in The End Of Time.'

Jack Emberton: 'I love The Family Of Blood because of David and Freema's performances in it. They both give really strong turns and Martha's heartbreak at realising that he has fallen in love with someone else brings a manly tear to my eye.'

Helen: 'The Family Of Blood never fails to make me cry. The confusion of John Smith as he tries to get his head round teh thought of who he really is just epic.'

3. Journey's End

What's it about: The entire universe is in danger as the Daleks activate their masterplan. The Doctor is helpless, and even the Tardis faces destruction. The only hope lies with the Doctor's secret army of companions – but as they join forces to battle Davros himself, the prophecy declares that one of them will die.

You say:

Anne Marie: 'The Doctor finally gets to tell Rose what he meant to say on Bad Wolf Bay. What's not to love about Journey's End.'

Sophie Fuller: 'I don't know which goodbye is the saddest, but I'd have to go for his goodbye to Donna as she was his best friend and I think he needed her.'

Fiona: 'Such a sad episode. David conveyed so much with one sad look back at Wilf as he left Donna behind.'

2. Doomsday

What's it about:

It's the end of an epic journey as two mighty armies wage war across the Earth. As an unstoppable terror emerges, the Doctor faces an even greater dilemma - does saving the world mean the death of Rose Tyler?

You say:

Claire Roberts: 'The first time I watched Doomsday and I thought Rose was going to die I felt sick, and to be honest every time I watch it, even though I know she won't die I still get a little scared! It was such a heartbreaking story and such a sad end to her travels with the Doctor.'

Kate: 'The scene when Rose and the Doctor are leaning on the same wall in parrallell universes and Rose has tears pouring down her face, just gets me every time. It's a sad end to a true love story.'

Nita: 'The whole scene on Bad Wolf Bay has me in tears every single time I watching it. It's a classic piece of TV history.'

1. The Girl In The Fireplace

What's it about:

It's 18th Century France and the court of Versailles is under attack by clockwork killers. The mistress of King Louis XV, Madame De Pompadour, calls for the mysterious man in her dreams - the Doctor.

You say:
Gina Knowles: 'The chemistry between David Tennant and Sophia Myles sizzles in The Girl In The Fireplace. By far my most favourite episode.'
Carly: 'The most romantic episode of Doctor Who ever and my all time fave. The Girl In The Fireplace is funny, romantic, emotional and downright heart breaking. Rose's jealousy over Reniette is very understandable too! That kiss was electric!'
Janine Pickles: 'Possibly the most romantic episode Doctor Who has ever had mixed with the scariest ever monsters and the most sensational snogging of the series, lucky old Madame De Pompadour!

The Last Voyage

Missing David's Tenth Doctor already? Then why not treat yourself to a brand new adventure with him?!

The Last Voyage is a brand spanking new exclusive to audio adventure featuring the Doctor and read by none other than David Tennant himself!

The Tardis materialises on board the maiden voyage of a pioneering space cruiser, travelling from Earth to the planet Eternity. The Doctor has just started exploring the huge, hi-tech Interstitial Transposition Vehicle when there is a loud bang, a massive jolt and a flash of light. Shortly afterwards, he discovers that nearly all the passengers and crew have disappeared. Unless the Doctor and flight attendant Sugar MacAuley can take control and steer the ship, they could crash-land - or keep slipping through space forever. And as if that wasn't enough, something awful awaits them on Eternity...

It's out now and you can order The Last Voyage online here today for just £5.85.

Hamlet To Premiere In The US In April

Royal Shakespeare Company’s Production of Hamlet Airs on THIRTEEN’S Great Performances

Sir Patrick Stewart and David Tennant Star in Shakespearean Classic on PBS Stations Nationwide
in April 2010

Shakespeare’s immortal “To be, or not to be” takes on a whole new meaning (and medium) as classical stage and screen actors Sir Patrick Stewart and David Tennant reprise their roles for an upcoming television adaptation of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s (RSC) 2008 stage production of Hamlet. The production will be presented on PBS by the Great Performances series on Wednesday, April 28, 2010, at 8 p.m. EST (check local listings).

Great Performances is a production of THIRTEEN in association with WNET.ORG – one of America’s most prolific and respected public media providers.
Hamlet aired in the UK on Boxing Day, and more than 900,000 viewers tuned in for the BBC broadcast. In an article in The Observer, Britain’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown wrote: "Like many people, I had my love of Shakespeare reawakened by David Tennant's TV portrayal of Hamlet over Christmas."
Veteran stage and screen actor Sir Patrick Stewart reprises his 2009 Laurence Olivier Award-winning role of Claudius in the screen version, which is directed by Gregory Doran, who also returns to reprise his stage direction of the production (in 2001, Doran directed the dynamic television adaptation of the RSC’s Macbeth). Co-produced by Illuminations Television and the RSC for the BBC, in association with Thirteen for WNET.ORG and NHK, the adaptation recreates the tone and atmosphere of the stage production in a film-style interpretation shot in HD on location at St. Joseph’s College in Mill Hill, London. The production is produced for television by John Wyver and Sebastian Grant.
Great Performances is funded by the Irene Diamond Fund, the National Endowment for the Arts, Vivian Milstein, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, public television viewers, and PBS. For Great Performances, Bill O’Donnell is series producer; David Horn is executive producer.
Visit Great Performances Online at www.pbs.org/gperf for additional information about this and other programs.

Your Favourite Doctor Who Episodes

But what were your fave episodes during Ten's tenure in the TARDIS?
Email us with your comments here and we'll count down the Top 10 next week!

The Doctor Introduces The End Of Time Part Two

Ten's Best Bits

David's Leaving Speech

The Regeneration

10.4 Million Tune In For David's Last Doctor Who

David Tennant's final outing as Doctor Who was watched by 10.4m viewers on New Year's Day, according to early overnight figures.

At the climax of the episode, a total of 10.6m tuned in to see the Time Lord regenerate into his 11th incarnation, 27-year-old actor Matt Smith.
Tennant's final words on the show were, "I don't want to go".
Smith, meanwhile, uttered the immortal line, "legs! I've got legs!" as he made his screen debut as The Doctor.
The 75-minute episode ended with the Tardis in flames, plummeting towards Earth - setting up Smith's first full episode, due later this year.

It was the highest-rated programme in its time-slot. ITV1's Coronation Street took second place, with 8.6m viewers.
However, both had lower ratings than the day's second episode of EastEnders, which attracted an audience of 11.6m at 1945GMT.
Critics were generally appreciative of Tennant's final episode, which also marked the end of head writer Russell T Davies' tenure on the show.
The story saw The Doctor battle against his nemesis, The Master (John Simm), who took possession of the body of every human on the planet, paving the way for the return of the Time Lords - who planned to end time itself.
In The Guardian, television critic Mark Lawson likened the episode to Hamlet - a role which Tennant played with the Royal Shakespeare Company last year.
"In common with the prince of Denmark, the Time Lord from Gallifrey agonised aloud over whether it would be right to kill a man (the Master) after a painful encounter with his mother, played by Claire Bloom, whose Shakespearean roles include Hamlet's mother, Gertrude," he wrote.
Writing on Cult TV website Den Of Geek , Simon Brew felt that, by allowing Tenant to revisit the characters he met during his four-year tenure as the Doctor, Davies had given new emotional depth to the process of regeneration.
"We've never had this: 20 minutes or so for a Doctor to deal with his impending demise, with no threat to see off to get in the way.

"Usually, the emotions are dealt with afterwards, as the new Doctor gets used to his new body. Here, an outgoing Doctor got to face the ramifications of what was about to happen, and it was explored exceptionally well."
Meanwhile, in The Times, Caitlin Moran dissected Smith's debut .
"As if to remind us of how huge the Doctor Who Universe is, and how fast it gallops on, Smith wasted no time mourning his previous, dead self. Instead, feeling his delicately featured face, he started in alarm, and shouted: 'Argh! I'm a girl!'"
A preview for the new series has been made available on the official Doctor Who website.
It shows Smith facing vampire-like creatures, hitting a Dalek with a mallet, and shouting what seems set to become his catchphrase: "Geronimo!"
The trailer also hints at the return of Alex Kingston as River Song - an archaeologist who had appeared to have had an intimate relationship with The Doctor.
Her character was created Steven Moffat, who has taken over from Davies as the head writer of the sci-fi franchise.
The new series is due on BBC One in the Spring.
