David Tennant on Matt Smith

David Tennant is interviewed in the latest issue of the Radio Times and gets another cover dedication (his 21st since 2005!)

Of course, no Tennant interview would be complete without a few obligatory questions on Doctor Who.

So does Tennant regret leaving the show?

“No, it felt just right, actually. It still does. It felt right to pass the baton on and for it to continue to thrive. It was just wonderful and it created many, many more opportunities than it closed down. I think my life is in a very different place and my career is in a very different place to what it was before I did Doctor Who and that is 90 per cent positive.”

And the big question – what does he think of the current series of Doctor Who and Matt Smith?

“Genuinely, I think it’s been brilliant. I’ve loved every second of it. It’s a thrill for me to be watching it as a viewer again. I knew Matt was going to be fantastic and he is. He’s a great choice and he’s knocked it out of the park.”

Fans can catch Tennant in new drama, Single Father, beginning this Sunday 10th October at 9pm on BBC1.
