David Tennant - news and new projects



David Tennant camps it up in ginger wig and yellow jacket for wedding planner role in new TV comedy

He's currently starring as a very camp and flamboyant vampire killer in the remake of the 80s horror Fright Night. And flouncing around in outrageous - and let's face it, tasteless - clothes clearly appeals to David Tennant as he's gone and done it again. The former Doctor Who star sports ginger hair, paisley drainpipe trousers and yellow and gold platform heels for a new TV role in the comedy series This is Jinsy, due to air in the UK next month.

David Tennant joins voice cast for new CBeebies animated series

Former Doctor Who star David Tennant is teaming up with another veteran of the time-travelling show for a new animated children's television programme.

Sophie Aldred, who played Ace alongside Sylvester McCoy as the seventh doctor, is going to be the voice behind Tree Fu Tom in the CBeebies series of the same name.

It follows the adventures of an eight-year-old boy who is transformed into a hero by putting on a magic belt. Tennant will play his sidekick, Twigs, in the show which follows the pair's adventures in a magic world called Treetopolis.

CBeebies controller Kay Benbow said: "We have a fantastic cast on this show who work brilliantly as a team. Their rapport permeates through to the programme reflecting the characters as a group of friends working together.
"We are delighted to have David on board as part of the team. The physical energy in his performance works so well for animation and his sense of fun and cheeky humour will delight the older CBeebies audience.
"We have many incredibly talented actors on CBeebies - in shows and the Bedtime Hour - because the very young deserve the very best. It's about seeking out great performances and offering the best possible quality to our viewers."

Doctor Who's David Tennant Celebrated on DVD

David Tennant is about to feel the love.
The man voted as our personal favorite Doctor of all-time will receive this wonderful box set in his honor, containing every episode starring Tennant as the Tenth Doctor -- allons-y! It's truly hard to crack what makes the Tenth Doctor so iconic, but one of the many reasons we loved him is his ability convey all emotions, to go from wise-crackin' and enthusiastic to richly dark and completely sinister on a whim. Now you can experience every adventure the Tenth Doctor had with this box set.
Titled Doctor Who: The David Tennant Years, the box set will contain Series 2, Series 3, Series 4, The Complete Specials and even the two animated endeavors, The Infinite Quest and Dreamland, just to prolong your love affair of Tennant, a true fanboy to the series who brings as much passion to the lore as an actor as he does a viewer to the benefit of everybody.

Warner Home Video and the BBC will be bringing this one out exclusively on DVD come October 11, 2011, leaving those clamoring for a Blu-ray release someday a little sad. The mega set will contain 26 discs that are holstered inside of a spiffy collector's book, and should contain all of the special features from the prior releases. No word was mentioned on our promotional flyer regarding new special features, but the price is set at the MSRP of $199.98.

We hope to have images of the box, the book it comes in, and all sorts of packaging very soon. Stay tuned to IGN DVD for more information about this and other upcoming releases!
