    David Talks About His Dad
     
    The following is a snippet from Dads: A Celebration Of Fatherhood From Britain's Finest And Funniest, by Sarah Brown and Gil McNeil, to be published on May 29:
     
    Actor David Tennant, 37, a.k.a. Dr Who, grew up in Ralston, Renfrewshire, where his father, Sandy McDonald, was the local Church of Scotland minister.

    When you're a child you blithely assume that your dad knows everything. Now, aged 37, I have to admit that mine probably does.

    I don't mean he could rattle off the kings of England in order, or work out the quantity of dark matter in the universe on the back of a napkin (although he'd probably give it a good go); it's the dad stuff he's good at.

    Problem with the car? Confusion over the house insurance? Need to put a shelf up? Even how do you blanch broccoli? I'll call my dad.

    He'll always have an answer, or at least know where to find one. (Anything involving gadgets, for instance, gets outsourced to his mate John, who lives nearby in a house full of self-soldered circuit boards and half-built computers.)

    But it worries me. I'll be 40 in a few years: shouldn't I already know how to tile a bathroom wall?

    Where does Dad get all this knowledge from? Is it instinct? Was he born knowing how to replace a fanbelt? Did he rely on his father for all these life skills? Were they passed down like an Olympic torch, practicality burning down the generations?

    Trouble is, I think I'm in danger of dropping it. In years to come, when my kids phone me up to ask how to reignite their boiler, I'll have to put them on to Granddad.

    I know it's not just me - my brother and sister are the same. Luckily, despite being 70 and with one false hip, my dad is still the most energetic, indefatigable man you're ever likely to meet.

    Thank goodness for that. You've got years of cutting down trees and fixing curtain rails ahead of you, Dad. No peaceful retirement for you, I'm afraid. We'd be neck-deep in chaos without you.

    David Tennant reveals his love of Sontarans.
    "Sontarans are great," enthused the Doctor Who star in an exclusive chat with Doctor Who Magazine.
    "I think that's partly because they come from a very specific world. That back story gives them a great context. Robert Holmes didn't just create a race, back in the 1970s: he created a world that they came from. Even if you never saw that planet, you understood why they did what they did."
    Also in the latest issue: Georgia Moffett discusses what it's like being the Doctor's Daughter; Russell T Davies reveals all about Partners in Crime's top secret scene in Production Notes; a crisis in the Caribbean as Donna makes her comic strip début in Part One of The Widow's Curse; plus behind-the-scenes features on The Fires Of Pompeii and Planet Of The Ood.
    Doctor Who Magazine issue 395 is out on Thursday 01 May 2008, priced at £3.99.

    RSC Director Interview
     
    Greg Doran, who will be the director of Hamlet and Love's Labours Lost, has given an interview to the RSC during which he talks about the productions and David's role in them. We have a few extracts below and you can read the whole interview here.
     
    What are the qualities that David Tennant will bring to the role? Why did you cast him?
     
    It is a play that waits for the right actor to come along. It is a self-defining role.
    The Hamlet will be to some extent who David is. At the same time you have to have an actor who can be, as Ophelia describes him, ‘the poet, the soldier,
    the scholar.’ You have to have someone who is all those things – someone who is charismatic and can be brutal and course and can be witty and moving and can physically take on the demands of the part – not just the fighting, but the sheer length of the role. It’s the longest role in Shakespeare. And it needs someone who can give you something of those prismatic colours that the role contains.
    Hamlet is both fatalistic and aspirational. He is both forlorn and melancholy and very witty and there are parts of the role that David will play with great ease. His skills with language are exceptional. It might be that there are areas of his melancholy and his reflection that David may have to tackle. David has great intelligence to tackle this role. It feels that there is no such thing as a definitive Hamlet - there are only an infinitive number of Hamlets.
    What I think he will get is the excitement of the role, the drive – Hamlet’s experience of grief, his experience of what it is to grow up. All those things I think he will approach with a freshness, a kind of ‘new.’
    Having worked with David before, I don’t think he will be haunted by the line of Hamlets that came before him. Of all the parts, since it was first performed in the 1600s, it’s been going on somewhere in the world ever since. There’s been an unbroken line from Richard Burbage right through to David Tennant.
    Even through the closure of the theatres in 1642, you can trace the line.
    Richard Burbage we know handed it on to Joseph Taylor (his apprentice and understudy). We know that William Davenant saw Taylor play the role and taught it to Betterton when he took over the role and the restoration. And then right through to Garrick to Kean, Irving, Gielgud, Olivier, Branagh etc. There is this unbroken line of people experiencing Hamlet and in this particular company since 1879 after the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre was built, Hamlet has never been far from the repertoire. It isn’t that long since Toby
    Stephens played Hamlet in Michael Boyd’s production, nor indeed that Sam West did it. I think it’s a glory. When we closed the RST last year we had a special performance to mark the very last moment in the theatre. During the event – Toby Stephens spoke the first line of the ‘To be, or Not to be’ soliloquy and then Sam West stood up, then Mark Rylance, Alex Jennings, Michael Pennington and right back to David Warner, who is currently in the company. David played it for Peter Hall back in 1965. So you had a long wonderful handing on of this role. I think that actors hand on some of the experiences and practical advice of performing the role. For example, the first few lines of the play, the first drive of the play through the ghost scenes, you
    are carried by the momentum of the play. Then there is the long stretch of the play within the play to the closet scene which you drive. Then you get a little breather, then you have to do the duel right at the end. So actors tell each other how to pace themselves. But I think that David won’t be working out what Alex Jennings or Sam West did, or indeed what David Garrick did, as there is plenty of reference for all of this.
    Funnily enough, I am usually a great historical ferreter of theatrical tradition.
    On this one I haven’t. Because if the play is self-defining for the actor playing Hamlet, it is also, I feel, defining for the director too. I’m aware with the simple act of cutting the play that you are already shaping your own likes and dislikes and prejudices. My own personal sense of the play is structured by David and the audience that may be attracted to this production and also by the other actors that we’ve got. If we’ve got Patrick Stewart playing Claudio, Penny Downie playing Gertrude and the wonderful Oliver Ford Davies playing
    Polonius and Mariah Gale playing Ophelia it makes you look at those
    particular parts in a particular way with a kind of respect that they are about to be tackled by those brilliant actors. I remember John Barton saying to me once, cast actors like that in those leads and they will sort that out. It’s more important that you sort out those other parts. How Rosencrantz is distinguishable from Guildenstern, and what exactly Osric doing in the part and how you’ll get the humour from the grave-diggers.

    How did you come to cast David Tennant?

    I was reading the ‘bad quarto’ which includes lines like ‘To be or not to be, Aye, there’s the point’ which could maybe be replaced with the folio line ‘To be or not to be, that is the question.’ I thought you could discover a two hour Hamlet which could really exciting. And just as I was playing around with the idea I was watching TV, and David Tennant was on ‘Who do you think you Are’ on BBC1. He happened to go to a church in Northern Ireland, where they had been doing some work, and excavating the church floor. And there amongst the planks on the floor was a skull. And David, dressed in this great coat, picked it up and I thought – that’s like an audition for Hamlet. In fact, I texted him that night and said ‘I saw your audition for Hamlet ’ and later we chatted. I asked if he had ever thought about playing Hamlet. He said that the two roles he really wanted to do were Hamlet and Berowne in Love’s Labours Lost. I had already decided that I would be directing Love’s Labours Lost as it had been fifteen years since we’d done it and thought it was an extraordinary coincidence The part waits for the actor to be ready and readiness is all. It all came together in a perfect flash of coincidence and synergy. There was a long time where we had to keep it under our hats whilst the BBC sorted out his temporary vacation of the Tardis.

    Can you tell us something about the costumes for the three plays?

    It’s early days, and I may change my mind, but essentially I can’t see David Tennant in tights. He’s not quite a doublet and hose man. Dream, in terms of costumes, will be pretty much as they were before. For Love’s Labour’s Lost we’re pitching it in its period. It will be delightful to get the RSC’s fabulous costume department to do their very best – producing a few roughs and doublets and farthingales. We don’t do it too often, so it’s nice when we do.

    The Sontaran Stratagem Tonight At 18:20pm
     
     
    Martha Jones summons the Doctor back to modern-day Earth, but an old enemy lies in wait, as Russell T Davies's Bafta Award-winning time-travelling drama continues. With the mysterious ATMOS devices spreading across the world, Donna discovers that even her own family is not safe from the alien threat – but is it too late to save them?
     
    The Sontaran Stratagem sees the return of the lovely Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones. Speaking about tonight's episode Freema says "There's a twist which means we will see a whole new side to Martha! It's a very exciting development - fans will be blown away."
    Will Martha still be pining with unrequited love for the Doctor? Apparently not.. "Martha's got someone new in her life. She’s engaged – to another doctor as it happens. Martha left the Doctor to be with her family and complete her medical training,” she explains. "But because of all the experience she had battling aliens as his companion she also works for [paranormal investigation agency] UNIT. That's made her tougher and more independent from the Doctor. In the last series they had a kind of student-teacher relationship, whereas now she knows how to tackle dangerous aliens on her own. In a way, she’s outgrown him."

    The Sontaran Stratagem airs at 18:20pm on BBC One tonight.

    Extract:
    There was another squealing sound from high above. Donna wondered what it was. The Doctor already seemed to know, and dragged her protesting over the sodden ground and towards the truck. 'Take cover!' he yelled. 'The bombardment has started!' 'Incoming!’ bellowed Harrison from the middle distance. A dull crump sounded from beyond the truck, and a fountain of black earth spurted up into the air and scattered over them. There was a fizzing sound of energy. The remaining soldiers leapt out of the transport vehicle, fresh weapons in their hands. Harrison had appeared by Donna's side. He was looking to her for orders, she realised. She wasn't in uniform, she wasn't able to command him, and all because of a simple misunderstanding. Harrison's eyes glazed over. He toppled face forward and sprawled in the mud. Only then did Donna know what the fizzing sound was. Weapons were firing. Harrison had been shot dead in front of her. The dun-coloured shapes of more soldiers scurried past, taking positions. It took Donna a moment to work out what they were doing: they were aiming their rifles upward. She followed the direction of their weapons. She stared in disbelief. Donna could make out thin legs on fat, swollen bodies dropping from the invisible sky. The air was alive with gunfire as the creatures fell through the fog and clattered to the ground. 'Oh my God,' she breathed. 'Doctor, they're dropping ponies on us!' Not exactly,' he said, pulling her behind the truck. Donna slithered in the mud, and landed on her bum. She could feel the water soak right through. The Doctor was still talking: 'Look again. Horses don't have parachutes.'
