David Tennant at Comic-Con, San Diego, California Sunday 26th July 2009 (10am) Televisionary and and sepinwall posted all the questions from the Doctor Who panel as they were asked. These are posted below but be warned that they contain SPOILERS.
Planet of the Dead clip. And now out come Julie Gardner, Euros Lyn, Russell T. Davies, and David Tennant!!!
"Love you too!" - David Tennant Gardner says Doctor Who movie rumors are untrue. But says that rumors have made them think it would be a good thing...
Teaser for final Who movie looks INCREDIBLE, and Tennant demands that they replay it immediately. No one complains.
"It's overwhelming. Your face is on cakes, and t shirts, and children's pants. They don't really prepare you for that in drama school." - DT.
"We go over budget." -Gardner on how they do everything on such a small budget.
Russell T Davies says that Julie Gardner has been instrumental in the success of Doctor Who. I totally agree.
Guinness World Records awards Doctor Who for being the most successful sci-fi series on television.
Does 10th Doctor wear a brown coat because Tennant likes Firefly? Tennant: "Never heard that one before," but he likes that show.
"I was just the right age for Tom Baker because I was 11. I love Tom Baker." - RTD of remembering his first Doctor.
Everyone on crew was crying during filming of Tennant's last Who special.
Gardner said that John Barrowman steals things from the set "just so he can get strip-searched."
Could Tennant return for the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who in 2013? Maybe but there are no plans. "Not yet..."
Title of David Tennant's Sarah Jane Adv. episode is "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith." (!!) Did Tennant's Shakespearean training prep him to play Doctor? Tennant stumped. Julie: "Well, you did meet Shakespeare in an episode..." Tennant praised Billie Piper's breasts vis-a-vis Top Gear's leaderboard. You had to be there, really.
And Tennant slammed rumors that he'll appear in The Hobbit, though he is playing a villain in St. Trinian's 2. Tennant jokingly puts Euros Lyn on spot, asks who was better: him or Eccleston? Lyn, laughing: "It was you, David." Tennant says that Doctor Who "should have been on BBC America from the start." Davies says that he hopes to stay on Torchwood. Literally can't give any confirmation because there are no deals in place.
Davies says that BBC America will be airing the Doctor Who specials much closer to their UK airdates. Tennant: "There is no one in Britain who has worked with Matt [Smith] who hasn't raved about him." Gardner is filming Tennant. "It's like a live DVD extra," said Tennant. Footage of all of this will be on DW Confidential. Tennant: "most wonderful 4 years ever experienced" "I'd probably end up being an English teacher," said DT re: what he would teach if he were a teacher.
Standing ovation for Tennant, who runs across stage with glee! And that's the end of the Doctor Who panel.
One final Who note before I head for the floor: Tennant was wearing tennis shoes, but they weren't Converse!
