I’ve to admit that, regardless of being a fan, I groaned just a little after I heard that David Tennant can be returning to the function of Physician Who for the present’s sixtieth anniversary celebrations, which have been kind of in every single place you search for the previous month or so. However now, I’ve to confess: I used to be utterly incorrect.
It’s not that I don’t like Tennant, or his flip because the Physician. In actual fact, he was already one among my absolute favorites. However it’s truthful to say that we’ve additionally seen a whole lot of him. He already got here again for the fiftieth anniversary 10 years in the past, beneath 5 years after vacating the function. And, for these of us nerdy sufficient to have interaction in Physician Who’s many extracurricular, non-televised works, he’s been fairly the collaborator with audio drama firm Huge End, starring in a variety of radio play model tales.
I simply felt, y’know – he’s already been again as soon as. And we’ve had Medical doctors since who haven’t reappeared, and to not point out there’s good outdated Paul McGann, who made a short mini episode reappearance in 2013 however continues to be actually ready for a correct TV outing, over 25 years after taking over (after which instantly vacating, kind of) the function.
