Doc True / December 18 2007
When comedienne Catherine Tate let slip on Jonathan Ross’s Radio 2 programme the other day that the next series of Doctor Who could be the last for actor David Tennant, she was confirming something that I already knew.
Hamilton Bentley, an actor friend of mine (from the Mr Sheen ads) is acquainted with Tennant and was aware of his decision to quit the popular BBC TV series a while ago.
‘Why don’t you go for the part, Ham?’ I asked him on the telephone.
‘I would do, dear boy, but fear they are looking for someone a little older than me.’
‘That’s a pity,’ I told him, ‘I’ve always pictured you as a dynamic and dashing young Time Lord.’
‘Why thank you, Napoleon,’ he gushed. ‘Anyway, ciao, my friend – must dash.’
