NBC has delayed a verdict on Rex Is Not Your Lawyer, the much-buzzed-about drama pilot starring Doctor Who’s David Tennant. Peacock execs were eyeing Rex to possibly fill one of its post-Jay Leno Show holes at 10 pm this spring. But a source close to the show tells me, “The sets are coming down this week.”

An NBC rep declined to comment, but a Peacock source insists Rex remains under consideration for fall. “The sets are on fold-and-hold,” maintains the insider. “They will still be available if the show is picked up for the fall.”

The project, which co-stars Jerry O’Connell, Abigail Spencer, Jane Curtin, and Jeffrey Tambor, had been in development at NBC-Universal for nearly two years. A pilot was commissioned last October and completed in December.

Jumped by to say, I’ve added 30 photos to the gallery of David at the NTAs last night – arrivals and winners room backstage. There’s a lot more coming, else wise, so stay tuned!

Doctor Who star David Tennant triumphed again at the National Television Awards last night – winning Outstanding Drama Performance.

And Ant and Dec also had a great night, taking two of the top awards at the bash in London’s O2 Arena.

It’s the fourth time in a row that Scot Tennant had won the top acting gong.

But it will be the last time he can win the award as the Time Lord, after quitting the show last year.

Doctor Who has traditionally triumphed at the NTAs since its return to the screen. Tennant announced his departure from the BBC series at the 2008 ceremony.

The show also beat The Bill, Casualty and Shameless to be crowned Most Popular Drama.

Tennant won the Most Popular Actor gong in 2006 and 2007, and his Doctor Who predecessor Christopher Eccleston won in 2005.

In 2008, the award was changed to Outstanding Drama Performance, and Tennant was once again the winner.

Ant and Dec were named Most Popular Entertainment Presenters and their ITV show Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway was named Most Popular Entertainment Programme.

It beat Big Brother, The Paul O’Grady Show and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, which Ant and Dec also present. The X Factor won Most Popular Talent Show, stealing the crown from its rival Strictly Come Dancing, which won last year.

Creator Simon Cowell said: “It is a good feeling. I was annoyed and p****d off we didn’t win last time.”

Loose Women celebrated a surprise win in the Most Popular Factual Programme category, beating previous winner Top Gear, The Apprentice and cult favourite Come Dine With Me.

Host Coleen Nolan said: “We really didn’t think we could win this. God, I feel sick.

“I’d like to thank all our husbands and partners who put up with us slagging them off every day.”

Competition James Corden and Ruth Jones’s comedy series Gavin and Stacey, which has ended after three series, picked up Most Popular Comedy Programme, beating off Harry Hill’s TV Burp, The Inbetweeners and previous winner Benidorm.

EastEnders actress Lacey Turner won the gong for Outstanding Serial Drama Performance. She plays Stacey Slater, who has battled mental health issues.

Stephen Fry In America won Most Popular Star Travel Documentary, while Coronation Street’s Craig Gazey was Most Popular Newcomer.

More than 10 million viewers watched David Tennant regenerate into Matt Smith in Doctor Who on New Year’s Day.

Part two of Tennant’s swansong, The End of Time, averaged 10.4 million viewers, a 36% share of the audience between 6.40pm and 7.55pm. It peaked with marginally more – 10.6 million – between 7.30pm and 7.45pm, according to unofficial overnight figures.

Doctor Who predictably had the better of an ITV1 lineup that included the ITV News, with 5.8 million viewers and a 21% share between 6.40pm and 7pm, and Emmerdale, which brought in 7.3 million viewers and a 25% share between 7pm and 7.30pm.

Doctor Who actor David Tennant, who made his final appearance as the Time Lord earlier this month, has backed Gordon Brown as Prime Minister.

“I would still rather have Gordon Brown than David Cameron,” Tennant told the latest edition of Doctor Who magazine.

“I would rather have a prime minister who is the cleverest person in the room, than a prime minister who looks good in a suit.”

“I think David Cameron is a terrifying prospect,” added the 38-year-old star.

The Scottish actor, a long-term Labour supporter who appeared in a party political broadcast in 2005, likened the Conservative leader to “a regional newsreader who will jump on whatever bandwagon flies past”.

“I get quite panicked at the notion that people are buying his rhetoric, because it seems very manipulative to me.”

“Clearly, the Labour Party is not without some issues right now and I do get frustrated. They need to sort some stuff out, but they are still a better bet than the Tories.”

The Conservatives declined to comment.

Tennant’s exit from the long-running BBC sci-fi show was watched by more than 10 million people on New Year’s Day

He is being replaced on the show by actor Matt Smith, 27, who made his debut as the 11th Doctor in Tennant’s final show, ahead of a new series in the spring.
