That promo pic with the Caspar David Friedrich background is brilliant. And I want the coat he's wearing there.

That is a proper dramatic coat. Wonder where you can get it.

I first thought it was a navy coat, but it's only single-breasted. So I guess it's a reproduction of a period coat.

Isn't David Tennant being a bit twattish and refusing to sign any Doctor Who fan autographs during the run?
 

Good for him. Have you seen those armies of twats turning up to proper theatre where they're not wanted. I went to see a play at the Riverside Theatre once which had Paul McGann in (and he wasn't even a proper Dr.Who) and you couldn't move for cross-eyed spods carrying bags and bags of Dr.Who underpants and squash beakers.

Agreed. But if it wasn't for Doctor Who Tennant would just be another mediocre jobbing TV actor heading for a role as a paedo on The Bill or a bellboy on Hotel Babylon.
 

So when he's doing a public appearance at a Dr.Who event he should put up with all that bollocks. When he's doing Hamlet at the RSC he shouldn't inflict it on decent people. Anyone even turning up in a Dr.Who T-shirt should be turned away at the door.

Fans annoy me as much as the next man, but without Doctor Who he wouldn't have been offered Hamlet. And they're employing him simply because they hope that the popularity of Doctor Who will pull in extra punters. I'm just saying, he shouldn't be so precious. After all, hasn't the BSG's leading Tennantnite, zooo, had a go at Christopher Ecclestone for being too up himself.
 

Yes but those punters going along to the RSC to see Tennant should realise they are at a proper grown-up event, not at a Forbidden Planet comic signing, and behave appropriately.

I hope loads of people go dressed as Cybermen and Daleks, pulling K9's made out of old cornflake packets.
 

It's like this special night at the Royal Opera House for Sun readers only. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea ?

No. The theatre is refusing to let fans get Doctor Who stuff signed. Has to be official merchandise.
