ACTOR APPRECTION

THE DOCTOR IS IN

Grab your sonic screwdrivers and catch a ride in the TARDIS because we’re celebrating the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who by diving into the world of David Tenant, one of the most beloved Doctors to date.

Allons-y!

The Doctor from Doctor Who is one of David Tennant's most well-known characters. He was the second actor to play the Doctor in the revival of the British sci-fi classic from the 60's so, his portrayal of the 10th Doctor holds special place in the hearts of Whovians. For many younger Whovians, he is the first Doctor they know of. He has reprised his role as the Doctor in the 50th anniversary and will be portraying the 14th Doctor in the 60th Anniversary.

Best Quotes:

  • Allons-y
  • You want weapons? We're in a library! Books! The best weapons in the world!
  • Some people live more in twenty years than others do in eighty. It's not the time that matters, it's the person.
  • [Time] Is more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.
  • I don't want to go.
