Tennant Talks Time War
In an interview recorded during filming of the special, Tennant told BBC America: “I suppose the Doctor’s journey has been one of rehabilitation after the Time War that we know so little about that he was a recent refugee from, we assume. And actually I suppose that story in many ways is told and brought up to date by this very special that we’re filming at the moment.”
He adds: “I think one of the clever things that Steven [Moffat]’s done in writing this script is moving the whole Doctor Who legend forward in quite a dramatic and fundamental way, so that it’s not just a sort of get the bunting out and let’s all celebrate – and it’s a bit of that – but it also is a kind of seismic shift in the Doctor’s story. Maybe that’s the proper way to celebrate fifty years – to keep the character moving forward.”
