Talk:David Tennant

Tennant's Favorite Doctor?

In the Time Crash mini Tennant said one line that raised my interest but I have not yet been able to find such information on this. "...'Cos you know what, Doctor? You were my Doctor." - Quote source. After hearing that I honestly wondered if he was making a personal reference that Peter Davison is his favorite Doctor. -- Tarun 18:02, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Peter Davison is his favourite.--Skittles the hog 18:19, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Where did you find that information? I searched but never found anything close to relevant. -- Tarun 16:51, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

One of the Doctor Who Confidential, I think. -<Azes13 18:52, 24 May 2008 (UTC)>-

He never says in a Confidential that Davison is his favorite. He says he was watching at that time, and lauds Davison with praise. He's beaming and quite excited about acting with Davison in the Time Crash Confidential. But, no, he doesn't say "Davison was my favorite" that Confidential or any other. Now, in the Time Crash Confidential, Moffat, at one point, speaks for Davison and says that Davison is likely Tennan's Doctor, because of the time frame the young Tennant was watching the program. Indeed, Tennant has referred to the Davison years as "my era" when speaking about when he had contact with the show, but it's clear he's also including the Tom Baker years into that mix.

It is considerably easier finding citable sources for the Tom Baker side of the argument. According to WalesOnline, Tom Baker is his favorite Doctor (See point #77). Another place where you'll find a flat statement that Baker was his favorite is in a a 2005 interview with david-tennant.com, Unfortunately, the flat statement comes not from him, but the interviewer. The actual quotes in that article are what Tennant usually says, suggesting the fact that he watched the whole of the Baker years from the beginning, that Logopolis was pivotal, and that he carried on watching the Davison years. The in-character note from the Tenth that the Fifth was "his Doctor" is at least matched by Tennant saying to Jon Culshaw in Episode 10 of the third series of Confidential that he must be partially channeling Tom Baker because of how much he watched of that era as a kid.

But as for finding a clear, simple statement by Tennant on his favorite Doctor, I've never found one. He's very cagey about it, almost suggesting that he probably doesn't want to be on record one way or the other.

Another telling thing. When you type in "tennant's favorite (or favourite) doctor" into a Google search, we're the first site that pops up. That indicates we're the main source of that phrase. Which is bad on the "truth" scale. There is simply too much ambiguity on this issue to state with authority that Davison really is Tennant's favorite. I'm therefore removing the language from the article. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 19:51, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
