Tennant: 50th is “Everything that I hoped”
Speaking with EW about working with Matt Smith he said: “I suppose you’d expect me to say we’re new best friends and I love him like a brother. But that is sort of how it was”
Although Tennant admits he had a few concerns about returning initially: “I had a fantastic time and that wouldn’t necessarily have been the case. I’m coming back onto a show that’s effectively somebody else’s show and used to be mine and that’s potentially quite a weird situation to be in. Going back to something I knew so well and had such fun memories of might have backfired.
He adds: “It’s a quite rare set of circumstances: Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig don’t get to play James Bond next to each other. But actually it felt familiar enough that it was like coming home and working with Matt proved to be a real joy. I hope I’m speaking for him when I say we really enjoyed bouncing of each other and playing sort of two aspects of the same character. It was everything that I hoped it might be and nothing that I feared it could be.”
