Post-Postmortem Humor...as Buffy would say...David Tennant's Got Work

[rabid1st]

According to a recent, satirical, Guardian columnist

What next for the capable pro? The BBC – ever keen to leak a document "by mistake" – has left the following plans for 2010 schedules on a bus.

Doctor in the House

A new series in which David Tennant visits people with no TV licence and performs a range of his characters live in their kitchens. Should they turn out to have a television after all, Tennant turns gamekeeper and hits them with an immediate large fine.

Doctor Hoo

A new children's cartoon series, in which all the voices are done by David Tennant.

Doctor Foster

David Tennant goes to Gloucester.

Spamlet*

A cookery series for BBC2, in which David Tennant creates meals for a series of Shakespearean characters played by himself. In episode one, he makes a "beast with two backs" out of two roast chickens and eats it in the style of Henry V.

Britain's Got Tennant

A new reality show in which David Tennant competes against himself to sing, dance, juggle and skate, eating wombat penis throughout, before sprinting behind a table to shout: "Tenn out of tenn!" and declare himself the winner.

DTI

A spin-off of QI, in which all the questions relate to interesting facts about David Tennant. David Tennant hosts. Guests are David Tennant, David Tennant, David Tennant, David Tennant, David Tennant and Alan Davies.

Here's the full article link. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/jan/03/victoria-coren-david-tennant-christmas

For anyone new to these pages, I don't hate David...at all. And neither does this woman, I'm sure.

*Cat, come on, fess up, this one had to make you LOL!

Hee! After his media blitz of the past view weeks, I'm sure these don't look that far outside the realm of possibility! :D

I liked the QI one with David Tennant, David Tennant, David Tennant and Alan Davies.

I don't know if you have seen QI or not...but it is quite a hoot if you happen, like me, to be a fan of Stephen Fry. He just shows off that he is smarter than anyone. David was on the show last week and did a very respectable job of it. I can actually see him hosting something if his Hollywood stab falls through. He makes for a rather congenial presenter. However, he's more likely to go back on to the stage if his LA job doesn't work out for him.

I think there is promise in his pilot...it all depends on the scripts, because Monk has gone off the air...and we could use another well played neurotic.

I've seen the episode with him and didn't get half of it. I chalk it up to lack of cultural wisdom, because I understand, but don't understand...frustrating really. I think David would be a wonderful presenter or host, but then it'd be a waste if he'd stop or limit his acting because of it :)

[rabid1st.livejournal.com]

Yeah! That's what I think, too. He, Billie and Catherine would all make great hosts, but only Catherine is likely to pursue it...as long as they are all offered roles.

I still would like to know why the Doctor could absorb radiation in Smith and Jones, but not in The End of Time .. a little contradictory perhaps?

Anyway .. from what I have seen, the British seem to be a little over all the Tennant attention, and who can blame them after such a disappointing end of time.

I read a brilliant news article about Exterminating David Tennant, I must find the link.

Different radiation? The amount of it? I think he's not the first Doctor to die from radiation if I recall my terrible old Who knowledge.

[glory_jean]

Actually is he is the first.

One = was old and he felt like it
Two = as punishment from the Time Lords
Three = via giant spider
Four = fell off a radio tower
Five = poisoning
Six = fell off an exercise bike (OMG I kid you not)
Seven = shot by gang members
Eight = Time War we guess

**skulks off to hide with the other old people**

Thanks for answering that one...I wsan't sure how Six died as I stopped watching...until Seven came with Ghostlight. The Giant Spiders were radioactive weren't they?

But my guess is that it was a different type of radiation as he names both sorts...and he does make it clear from time to time that he is avoiding radiation of some kinds. And it's not like it killed him right away either.

You don't look that old to me, pet. :grin:

I haven't seen it, so I can't really say, but Tardis Wiki states the Third Doctor died as follows: Finally, to defeat the Spiders of Metebelis III, he sacrificed his own life by exposing himself to lethal levels of radiation.

Six sounds interesting :)=) I'll have to take a look at THAT now :)

[glory_jean]

TBH I never saw that one either, just saw screen caps and clips.

Radioactive spiders? Where have I heard that before? Hmmmm. ;-)

You forgot the new classic serial - "The Tennant of Wildfell Hall". And I'm surprised they didn't mention that we have an entire TV channel called Dave!

I wonder if they'd get the Master to guest on the chicken-eating one?

LOL!

Oh... for the first one I'd stop paying my license, too bad it's the wrong country anyway :)

There's actually a TV show over here that's basically "Beat the Star". It's with a famous German night talker, a crazy game show with a very diverse cross selection of games. The winner gets 500 000 Euro. If the star wins (which he does 4 out of 5 times) the money goes into the jackpot. But to tell the truth, I don't think DT would be much of a competition :)
