The "David Tennant effect", as named by Rishi Sunak, referred to the apparent phenomenon which he observed in “the last Doctor Who” when Jodie Whittaker regenerated back into David Tennant, instead of "the new bloke", leading him to worry that other things - such as “Prime Ministerial evolution” - would also go backwards under similar conditions.

History

Rishi Sunak claimed that he'd been prepared to defend his record when he discovered the David Tennant effect, becoming afraid that if anything happened to him, “Prime Ministerial evolution” might go backwards too. He was proven correct when a studio light fell on him, causing him to regenerate back into Liz Truss, then Boris Johnson, and finally Theresa May.
