David Wins Most Stylish Male Award!
Singer-songwriter KT Tunstall and Doctor Who actor David Tennant were voted Scotland's top music and fashion style icons
last night at a ceremony honouring the country's most fashionable movers and shakers.
The Scottish Style Awards 2006,
now in their second year, were set up to reward outstanding contributions from individuals, establishments and enterprises
within the creative industries.
Judges at the ceremony held at the newly-restored Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in
Glasgow included artist Tracey Emin, Dylan Jones, editor of GQ magazine, Rankin, the photographer, and Andrew Fairlie, one
of Scotland's top chefs.
The 12 award categories ranged from special awards for contemporary style icons and "tastemakers"
to recognition of Scotland's most stylish bar, hotel, restaurant, and High Street or designer retailer.
KT Tunstall scooped
the most stylish Scottish musician award while Tennant, famous for his old trainers and tweed coat worn in his Time Lord role,
was voted Scotland's most stylish male.
The jazz singer Niki King won the most stylish Scottish female category.
Nancy
McLardie, from Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, said the awards were instrumental in making people see Scotland and its talent
in a positive light.
"There has been a tremendous renaissance in Scotland in terms of style and fashion in many sectors
over the past couple of years. This has most definitely changed our image and is making people outside Scotland look at our
talent differently."
The best bar award went to Scotts in Troon while Abstract in Inverness won best restaurant.

Blue Peter Competition!
Blue Peter viewers will be offered the chance to win a speaking part in the third season of the revived Doctor Who.
The
competition will be launched on Monday 16th October, according to The Sun, with aspiring young actors being encouraged to
make an audition tape and send it in. These will then be judged by Tardis-dweller David Tennant and executive producer Russell
T Davies. Only under-14's will be able to enter.
Blue Peter has a long history of ties with Doctor Who. Former presenters
Peter Purves, Sarah Greene, Janet Ellis and Christopher Wenner all had roles in the original run of the sci-fi drama, while
many Doctors and monsters have appeared on Blue Peter.
Last year, nine-year-old viewer William Grantham won a competition
to design a monster for the revived series. This materialised in the episode 'Love and Monsters', where his Absorbaloff creation
was portrayed by comedian Peter Kay. There were a total of 43,920 entries - the most for a Blue Peter competition since 1993.

David In DWM!
David has given an exclusive interview to DWM and it's in the latest issue out on 12th October. In it David reveals
the highlights of playing his dream role as the Doctor and chats about what the future may hold:
![[image]](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c228/tennant05/whodo/dwm375.jpg)
What I suppose is eternally fascinating is the emotional side of someone who apparently has no emotional side," David
considers. "The relationship with Rose became, to all intents and purposes, a love story.
You learn how malleable
the character can be – the show doesn't disappear in a puff of smoke if the Doctor does things that apparently he's
never done before. It's not the end of the series if he snogs Madame de Pompadour. I'm interested in how we can push that
– not necessarily sexually, but in other aspects as well. How can we tweak at the corners of the established myth without
pulling it apart?"
And here's the $64-million question: would David like to sign up to film a third series? "It's a
funny question, that, isn't it? As soon as I accepted this job, the first question I got asked was, 'How long are you staying?'
It’s difficult to judge, because there's an element of being in a long-running show that's a gamble, because I am 35
now, and if I stayed in this for as long as it was humanly possible, I'd still have to have some kind of a career at the other
end of it, so it's judging when is the right moment to go.
I think I now know how many series I'm going to do, and
Russell, Julie, and I have talked about it, and will continue to talk about it, but I think it would be stupid of me to say
more than that right now - anything can happen, and everything can change..."
Also in the new issue, DWM eavesdrops
on the Eighth Doctor's return in the new Doctor Who radio series for BBC7, with exclusive interviews with Paul McGann and
his new companion, Sheridan Smith, as well as a host of guest stars.
Monster maker Neill Gorton stops by to explain
the secrets of making Slitheens, Ood and the Abzorbaloff, and offers readers the chance to win a genuine Cyberman helmet!
Meanwhile, the Doctor and Rose land on the good ship Lady Godiva - and meet its rather outlandish crew! - in a new comic strip
adventure, Interstellar Overdrive.
Plus: The Time Team greet the Fifth Doctor; the latest news on Series Three; new
photos and information on spin-off series Torchwood; The Sontaran Experiment DVD is previewed; a look back at Doctor Who Confidential
and Totally Doctor Who in After Image; the Fourth Doctor, Romana and K9 answer readers' questions in the Matrix Data Bank;
plus news; reviews; competitions and a special shiny silver cover! Jings!
DWM 375 is published on Thursday 12 October
2006, priced £3.99.
