David Tennant nominated for RTS North West Award
David Tennant has been nominated for a RTS North West Award in the category Best Performance In A Single Drama for his role in Single Father.
However David is in a stiff category as he is up against Christopher Eccleston for Accused, John Simm for Exile and Suranne Jones for Scott and Bailey. Ironically they are all actors who have starred in Doctor Who too!
The website MENMedia, who announced the awards, described this category as too close to call.
David Tennant's nomination is for RTS North West and not the main Royal Television Society Awards which are given out in the spring. However it is still a significant nomination. These regional awards are similar to BAFTA in that, as well as the main BAFTA awards there are also awards given by various regions (e.g. BAFTA Scotland and BAFTA Wales) which focus on productions made in their areas.
Single Father was shown on BBC One for four consecutive weeks starting on Sunday 10th October 2010.
The Single Father section of DavidTennantOnTwitter.com has full information about the drama.
The winners of the awards will be announced at a red carpet event on Saturday 19th November. It is not known yet whether or not David will attend the awards but he will be in the area two days previously as he is co-hosting the Children In Need concert.

Too disabled for kids?
Comedian Laurence Clark is to be the subject of a new BBC One documentary about being a disabled parent.
Former Doctor Who David Tennant has just recorded his narration for the 50-minute film, provisionally titled Disabled Parents: Are You Having A Laugh? and scheduled for broadcast in February.
The film follows Laurence and his wife, Adele, as they prepare for the birth of their second child.
Both have cerebral palsy, and six years ago, when they had their first son, Tom, they were criticised by doctors for being irresponsible.
For their second child, Adele was determined to have a natural birth – even though both her and Laurence have their condition because of their own difficult births.
IWC Media, which is producing the documentary, said: ‘In this film, Laurence, Tom and Adele lay bare the joys and hurdles of disabled parenting.
‘As if they didn’t have enough to deal with, just four weeks after Adele’s due date, Laurence is set to appear at the Edinburgh Fringe. Will Laurence be able to balance family life with his passion for comedy?’
It’s thought the documentary will air in a 10.40pm slot
