Blightyvision Special: “Much Ado About Nothing”
Starring David Tennant and Catherine Tate Directed by Josie Rourke Theatre, especially London theatre, is such a mess when it comes to seeing (or rather not seeing) performances. It’s not like movies, where time and money and intention will get you to it at some point. You can have the time and location and finances […]

Blightyvision: “Twenty Twelve”
Written and directed by John Morton Starring Hugh Bonneville, Amelia Bullmore, Olivia Colman, Jessica Hynes, and Karl Theobald Narrated by David Tennant One thing I heard a lot about while I was overseas in March was the encroaching 2012 Olympic games — specifically, just how over the whole thing everyone is already. I’ve yet to […]

Blightyvision: “Single Father”
Directed by Sam Miller Written by Mick Ford Starring David Tennant, Suranne Jones, Warren Brown, and Rupert Graves When I first covered this for the now-defunct Watchlist column, I recall saying rather vehemently that the main thing I wanted to see in this show was David Tennant directed with a firm hand.

BBC Releases Autumn/Winter 2010 Preview
I’ve complained in the past — back when I still pulled teeth doing the Watchlist — that the Beeb is terrible about releasing information about their upcoming shows.

Kara’s Video of the Day: Rex Was Almost Your Lawyer
So the American legal drama/Tennie vehicle “Rex Is Not Your Doctor Lawyer” will likely never be seeing the light of day — it’s just recently been passed over for the fall 2010 TV season as well, and the set’s allegedly been dismantled. However, a YouTuber has been kind enough to pass along a snippet of […]

The Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey Watchlist: “Single Father”
Did you know David Tennant is Scottish!? Good Lord! I’ve never believed in a “Doctor Who” curse — former Doctors becoming so associated with the role that no one would ever accept them as anything else. And honestly, if I did, David Tennant’s career as of now would disabuse me of the notion pretty quickly. […]

Blightyvision: “Casanova”
Or: “David Tennant Fangirl Catnip” Written and created by Russell T. Davies Starring David Tennant, Peter O’Toole, Laura Fraser, and Nina Sosanya If you want a strong script from RTD, you need only do two things: take away his aliens, and let him write about sex. If you want a strong performance from David Tennant, […]
