Now and then, one just has to gush :)

On an awwwww note about them both, Patrick Stewart about David Tennant:

Here's hoping theatre (and tv, and cinema) producers listen. * ♥ them both in embarrassingly fangirlish fashion*


Also, another gem from the recent Vid Con:

Doctor Who: Take On Me: all the regenerations, all the companions. I so love vids that celebrate DW as a whole, Old and New Who alike (and manage to make the footage from so many different eras flow seamlessly into each other).

I second your awwwwwwwww. They need to work together again ASAP!

[selenak]

They do. Also, I want them both to guest star in Merlin, just because. :)

That would be great!

It is criminal that Patrick Stewart has never been in Doctor Who; I wish they'd invited him while Ten was still around. (Not that I would like to see how a Patrick Stewart and Matt Smith team-up would go.)

Wasn't there a rumour for a while Patrick Stewart would play Davros (pre-actual Davros use in s4, I mean)? And yes, it would have been fabulous to see him interact with DT as the Doctor, no matter whom Stewart would have played. (Especially since the Ten & Character Played By Older Actor scenes - be it Yana, Wilf, Headmaster Finch or Adelaide Brooke - invariably had that extra extra something.)

With Merlin, I think there's a realistic chance for both (though likely not in the same episode), because it seems to be the fun show to guest star in for current British actors. :) We already know DT & ASH are great together (my idea would be for DT to play Uther's Head!Gorlois), and PS & ASH & Richard Wilson would be fantabulous. (PS as Vortigern?)

There was, but whether it ever had the remotest basis in fact is difficult to determine.

I am impatient for the BBC to just let Big Finish start making new series audios already. There wasn't much point when Christopher Eccleston was the only new-but-retired Doctor, but after another year or two I would lay money that David Tennant would be happy to reprise the role for them. And there are all sorts of people who might be lured into the studio by the chance to work with him ...

I approve of both these ideas! DT would make a fabulous Gorlois; maybe he could come back as a ghost so as to interact with Morgana as well as Uther.

Maybe one should start a letter campaign to the BBC re: giving Big Finish permission for new series audios, because you're absolutely right.

That would be even better! And he already knows the cast, so given people's usual reactions to him, I think they'd be okay with having him back. :)
