“David Tennant has a greater self-awareness, vulnerability and humour than Christopher Eccleston. He has been blessed with acting ability as well as compelling looks and innate charm.”

Colin Baker

“It makes me feel very happy and proud. I have caught a glimpse of Tennant and he has a kind of mercurial quality. I suppose it’s star quality. You can believe he has secrets. I’m looking forward to David being hugely successful.”

Tom Baker

“He’s wild and free and magnetic. He has an edge to him which I love. I do think there is that thing about him that all the Doctor Who fans have wanted to see since that last lot many years ago, and they’re going to get those Doctorish qualities there with David that they didn’t have with Chris.”

Camille Coduri

“He’s just perfect. He’s got range, he’s got lightness. He can do anything – light, dark, funny, farce.”

Russell T. Davies

“I wish there was more of David Tennant in Goblet of Fire. He’s got only a few scenes and he’s brilliant in all of them. He’s so absolutely, fantastically watchable. I think he’ll be a good Doctor Who. I saw him in Casanova. He’s absolutely fantastic in it. I would love to work with him again. He’s also the nicest person.”

Daniel Radcliffe

“David is astonishingly focused for his age. He’s amazingly honest and straightforward. He’s one of the handful of people I would tell a secret to and know that he wouldn’t tell anybody. He’s trustworthy and he’s honourable and he’s lovely.”
