Good interview. Thorzdad: Syfy has shown all episodes up through S4 and the specials, but chopped up a little. They like to snip off bits to make time for commercials. Your best bet is on DVD. Netflix has them and they're pretty easy to find on Bit torrent as well. It’s always fun to hear David Tenant speak in his native accent. Good interview.

My friend kicks himself for honestly replying that he wasn't quite familiar with the show. I tried to reassure him that at least in the US, it was quite difficult to get a decent gist of the show.. some public tv stations would play the serials out of order, for one thing. Thankfully there's the internets and collections, I've started with Doctor #1, and working forward through the time and relative dimensions in space. heh, a friend of mine encountered Davies (or one of the other producers, not sure) at a convention, before they had started the show back up.

Which is I guess why they love him so much. The next one looks to be even worse for the same reasons. For my money, goofy-looking fortysomething Christopher Eccleston in a beat-up leather jacket was the best Doctor so far. (The steampunk Doctor from the '90s that never got past the pilot stage could've been good too.) Tennant was too young and too pretty, too much blatant nerd wish-fulfillment.

I loathe to admit to how many Doctors I have lived through! Living in Germany in more recent times, I have only seen Tennant a bit (Germany never quite "getting" the joke), and then of course only in translation, but did discern a certain something about him. And this he certainly must have, the Hamlet he mentions briefly at the beginning of the interview is a filmed for BBC TV version of what was reputably an absolutely brilliant Hamlet for the Royal Shakespeare Company last year. Something to look forward to. Thanks for this video. I loathe to admit to how many Doctors I have lived through!
