- David Tennant and Matt Smith on how they felt about quitting Doctor Who, being the new guy on set, passing on the role to someone else on the last day of shooting, on coming back for the 50th etc.
7th December 2019, Wales Comic Con, Telford
"Ten years ago"
Oh. I just realised. Ten actual years.
yep
Took the fucking long way around
No ten galactic years
Scary as fuck I remember being 9 watching end of time part 1&2 😂😂
Wow it doesn’t feel like it
The idea of old Doctors starring in the Christmas Specials is BRILLIANT. Gives the regular cast a break, gives the audience a nostalgic treat, and gives a broader flavor to the Doctor Who Christmas Specials. Genius.
Shame there are no more Christmas specials
Yes, more of Doctors 4-8, the classics!
@@GuardeGame For now. Regimes change and so does DOCTOR WHO ;)
Oz Baxter, Inc. yea but they need to have a purpose other than nostalgia
I want an 8th doctor Christmas special now
David Tennant and Matt Smith are the tenth and eleventh doctor pretending to be actors.
They litteraly look younger, we saw through their game =_=*
it literally feels that way! damn
Omg yasss they are doing gooood....
Yes
Doctor Who is missed so desperately, if the show ever gets it together and comes back on TV that is!! While we love Jodie Whitaker as #13, Matt & David will FOREVER be "The Doctor" to us💞
When David is moaning about the show not being on Christmas Day anymore, you know what to do
What? Wallow in the despair of nostalgia?
I really miss christmas specials
I would want to scream back, "it has been changed to New Year episode." 😂😅
You act like Chibnall and ignore everyone around you that the house is on fire.
I really miss the Christmas special. Kind of upsetting that the last one was the river song one.
Holy shit... it _has_ been 10 years.
Fuck i feel old!
doesn’t feel like 10 years AT ALL
I looked at your profile picture while reading that 😂 for some reason that made me laugh
john smith but yeah it feels so long ago
@@yaboilui3637
🤣It's like my profil pic said my comment mid existential crisis.
David: I'm READY!!! DID YOU MISS ME!!?!?
one audience guy : yeah
Sarah Sowole literally read this while it was happening n it made me giggle life’s coincidences
David Tennant's Doctor saying "I don't want to go" was the one moment in the entirety of Doctor Who that made me cry.
Lynx me too
Also doomsday
When that moment was coming up, I KNEW he was going to say that...And when he did, I also cried.
I still cry when I watch it.
Same
From Peter's point of view:
"You know, Matt gave me his watch. It was him passing on the mantle to me. It really meant a lot to me."
From Matt's point of view:
*UH, HAVE THAT.*
In what interview did Peter say that?
Random account No he actually did hand him his watch. Jenna Coleman has told this story and so has Peter in their own ways. They’ve only got the 1 watch so he has to hand it over for him to wear in the scene.
@@samfrisby6135 he mentioned this in a press interview for Series 8 in Australia I believe
*mantle
It was amusing imagining Peter Capaldi saying that with the strong accent and the scowl he wore in his first episode
10 years ago to the day David Tennant regenerated. Feel old?
Wtf
@@b-dog3207 Yep.
Nah
and 7 years ago Matt Smith regenrated!
.......now way I remember watching it when it aired
Their last words:
David Tennent “I don’t want to go!”
Matt Smith “I will always remember when The Doctor was me.”
9: Rose before I go I just wanted to say you were fantastic. And you know what, so was I.
"doctor I let you go"
13: holy shit this doctor sucked
Technically, I think 11 whispers "it's ok" as he's reaching out to Clara and finally changes. Great regen speech regardless
"Right then... Doctor Whoever I'm about to be. Tag, you're it"
I love the fact that Matt and David are in this together, they're always so open about their experience and they're interested in each others, they're the only two doctors who really feel like that the doctor is essentially one person
Charlotte D Peter Davidson, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy also do a lot of interviews and panels together and have the same vibes as these two.
Jon pertwee and pat troughton were the same. They were famous for doing convention's teasing each other just like doc 2 and doc 3 did. You can tell on the troughton years tape (showing age here) when he talk about there convention tome3 together Pertwee was both very fond of pat and that he misses him.
@@barneyhall8325 Pertwee seems like an upstanding fellow
All the actors who have played thee Doctor get along even Ecccleston. They actually consider playing the doctor to be a part of a brotherhood. I've seen them together
I'd love to see Matt and David on screen together again, as Doctors or not.
weegiedump hell yea i would love😍
50th anniversary episode it happened!
refderer _ yea ik but i want more
@@mywin_8275 yeah but again
Watch day of the doctor
"If I had to go back," Matt? The 60th anniversary is only three years away and we will be expecting you!
I was like "yeah right, three years, mate, sure thing" and then I realized. I've really been on this fandom for seven years already. Feel like yesterday I was watching the 50th y special!
That's if doctor who isn't cancelled at the point
Well said
Any chance that maybe Christopher Eccleston might have softened on the issue of returning by them?
@@Icekwondo jodie is a good actor but the writing is shit
Actually love David’s take on leaving too. One minute you are the focus the next you realise you are completely dispensable when the next guy walks in. I have never heard any of the other actors say that
If we could have multi-Doctor reunion Christmas specials from here on out, that would be my favorite thing I didn't know I wanted.
It could also be written by any of the past Who writers - given it wouldn't affect any plot etc of the current season - it would be perfect - also, can you imagine their bickering and interactions ! hehehe
Yes, totally agree. Christmas special deserves to come back. It feels so weird not to see one happening with current Doctor Who. Hopefully 2020 special happens with some familiar faces 😊
Best Christmas gift EVER! All through the holiday season, I'd be looking forward to seeing the doctors tease each other about their outfits and mannerisms and stupid things they'd each done.
... and what's River going to say when she's got 4 Doctors at once!?
Or better one set of doctors at Christmas another a new Year’s double the pleasure
The last 10 seconds of David asking about why is there no Christmas special anymore is exactly everyone's reaction to no Christmas specials happening anymore
Thank God they are back for Nctuti and RTD
Soo, I’m not saying we need them back buuuut...
I AM!!!!!
2 of the best doctors of all time.
These two are my favourite Doctors and i definitely want them back
Anyone at this point is better than Jodie in my opinion.
And Russell tooooo
Hey who wants to start a petition with me to put the specials back on Christmas and give them to David Tennant and Matt Smith (and Christopher Eccleston and Peter Capaldi if they want) on alternating years?
Make it so
Eccelston said he is never coming bsck to Doctor Who.
@@chris_bev_9802 well we all make choices. I'd love to see one with the others IF they can make it make (timey wimey) sense
b_.k.h .r._xe any and all of them back would be incredible. 9 needs to come back.
@@chris_bev_9802 he said he would never do anything doctor who related but he has now started doing conventions and things and has found a love for the show again, so never say never.
These interviews are the best, the interviewer asked the question, then let the two guests go at it and bounce off each other
Ikr, I see a lot of late night shows where the interviewer doesn't let the celebrity speak and just interupts them with another question. Here, they actually let the actors talk
"Why aren't they doing it on Christmas anymore? What's going on, people?"
David speaking the mind of the fandom. It literally makes NO sense that they moved the specials to New Year's Day instead of Christmas. Though, given the politics at the BBC, that might be the least of our problems.
and on new years we discover it's just the first episode of the new season instead of a special, so they simply removed specials altogether
Makes perfect sense when the writing is disastrous as it is, along with the actor not being suited to be playing the doctor… Therefore you can blame it on the move to New Year’s day instead of Christmas Day, simples
@@Ade2bee the actor is actually pretty ok, if not excellent to be able to do something with what she's given, the main problem is the writing. There are a few side problems too, like the fact the story doesn't need yaz and the deletion of the christmas special altogether (there was no new year special, it was ep 1 of the new season). The fact the new showrunner replaced the old team can be seen as negative too, as the director of photography is doing an awful job at doctor who. His plans would be great for any calm shows, but a show such as doctor who needs more movement and unordinary angles. While the new music is pretty harmonious and all, it doesn't feel like doctor who but more like a random serious show. It lacks epicness.
@swampy they moved christmas to new year then the year after removed new year... it's just like if a new showrunner came, replaced the original team by his own and took bad decisions, I wonder how it could happen.......
Lefties got their hands on Doctor Who and they hate Christians and Christmas
The way they interact is so kind, re-asking the other the question at the end of each response. It's just lovely to watch them so comfortable together.
I enjoy all the Doctors, but these guys are my favorites.
I agree with David. What's going on people?! The Christmas specials are just that. SPECIAL!!!
Chyleen Dreyer inclusivity bullshit. That’s what it is
@@charlesman8722 i don't blame inclusivity, the only fault jodie has is that she fucks up her dialogue and ends up sounding whinny and annoying while being decent in all other points
As it turns out, the 50th anniversary special was not David's last appearance in Doctor Who
Imagine if there was a doctor who Christmas dinner, so like all the doctors were having dinner together XD
Film Star That happened not long ago for charity. Not Christmas and not all Doctors but about 5 of them had lunch together with fans
Munchiemox that’s pretty neat, but I meant like in a Christmas special, imagine that? XD
not all of them are alive tho :(
Y E S
Fizzy_ Missy there would only be 10 docs instead of 14 tho 😕. Or 8 if Eccleston and the 8th doc don’t join.
I miss these two. You see why fans have an emotional connection with them. It's because they put thier all into the role.
Their hair is the same but parted opposite and they sit the same.
They are the same person. 😉
@@ZNotFound No, they are two of the same person.
God i miss those two guys era when who was fun and well written great days
When there were actual original stories...
When they didn’t ruin 50+ years of continuity
Keyan Stoney no stupid timeless child 😂😂
Capaldi was good to
yo I cried when David Tennant wasn't the doctor anymore he is truly my fav
Alice RGA mine too....
@@BrianIppolito yes but hey we get to look back at the hilarious episodes he been in and all the memories that's what we should treasure the most right? ☺️
David Tennant was my favorite doctor!
Well, he’s back as the Fourteenth. I can’t wait for next year.
When Tennant says "both of us chose to leave" and Smith replies "yeah", he sounds so dejected - definitely get the impression that he regrets leaving when he did...
He‘s openly stated that he regrets not getting to do one more season, so that he could work with Jenna properly.
While I like parts of 7, it wasn’t the best final season for a Doctor. Was all over the place, and it’s probably because of it essentially being 2 mini seasons. Matt probably feels that as well.
When David calls out "what happened to the Christmas specials?" LOL! DANG! CALLED OUT!
It was really sweet of Matt to make sure that Peter wasn't overwhelmed by the different crews, making his transition into the role easier and more smooth going than it was for Matt. He really is a great guy.
They are literally my Doctors. Can't believe the first 7 seasons of this show are consistently good, solid, emotional television
Midnight: my favourite episode.
great one! the doctor falls for me
Both amazing episodes
Great episode! All in the train, very scary and emotional. That and Doctor’s wife and blink
The 11th hour
Freaking scary episode!
The best 2 doctors ever!
I think capaldi was better than Smith
@@poojagambhir3514 I love capaldi...his Xmas specials we're so epic...when I re-watch new who... It's usually a Matt Smith episode...even though David Tennant is my #1 all time!!
Not we're...but were..
That would be Tom Baker.
@@cybellejohnson6978 the top 3 is a revolution of 10 11 and 4
I found myself having the biggest smile on my face whilst watching this.
Just these 10 minutes of listening to Matt and David talk is 10 times more entertaining than the entirety of season 11.
Take it the fuck back.
@@jessicaowens1514, you sound lovely......
And 12 and 13
Their genuine friendship and good hearts can be seen in these kinda interviews. It's beautiful
I love how they start asking each other questions and it gradually turns into a conversation between the two of them for a few minutes
Honestly, if I got cast as the Doctor, they'd *have* to kick me off. I'm just not sure how I'd give a role like that up.
you’d be surprised
UnknownTimelord like capaldi said it’s best to leave when you’re enjoying yourself rather than when it feels like a job
@@KRONOS115 True, both David and Matt left the role at their peak. Series 4 was by far the one with highest ratings and Series 7 had the 50th anniversary. Though I still kinda wish that Matt would've stayed for another series, there were many potential plots that could've unfolded.
He totally did get off the train in costume. Don't try to fool me tennant
Matt Smith "I'd be quite nervous if I had to come back" David "Hold my beer ill see you in 2023"
David loves it too much.😁
CHIBS, PUT DAVID IN A BLOODY CHRISTMAS SPECIAL NOWW.
YES, please!! 😍👌
Our Philosophy Is
Didn’t happen.
Our Philosophy Is well he could IF HE DIDNT GET RID OF THEM
Just David? Not Matt, Chris, The 8th? Peter Capaldi?
BBC needs to fire Chibs, and get someone who knows what they are doing.
Definitely the two most beloved Doctors, I'd say, along with Tom Baker for the classic Who fans. I loved Matt Smith, but Tennant is my Doctor. Best ever, imo. I still miss the 10th Doctor so much.
And now 12 years later (8:55) he comes back again for the role and actually regenerate as the doctor again plus the new amazing doctor🤩
SERIOUSLY! Multi-Doctor Christmas special NEEEEEDS to happen! How do we trend this?!
I very much liked the David Bradley-Peter Capaldi Christmas special about World War 1 and much more.
It already happened. 12th and 1st in Twice Upon Time.
I've enjoyed each of the "New" Doctor's up until Jodie Whittaker...not through fault of her own but the writing...not impressed with her 2nd season writing yet, but it's only 2 episodes in.
Fingers crossed they improved it
I'm so sorry about the finale. :(
@@1999colebug why? it was brilliant. I get that there is conflicting opinions, but not everyone hates it, so don't just assume someone hated it. The writing did greatly improve in this last season, though several episodes did seem quite rushed at the end of them.
Chrystalis Revival No one ever said everyone hates it. But to be fair a lot of viewers have dropped the show for good reason.
And then the Timeless Children happened...
@@userbunny14 at no point did i say that I hated anything about the new seasons of Doctor Who.. I said I wasn't impressed..big, big difference. Please don't imply anything to my words as I thought I was clear..I enjoy the show but not the newer seasons nearly as much..never ever said hate!
3 years til the 60th! I hope they do another special!
Jesus Christ, I remember having friends over for the 50th. Time flies.
@@Cleptrio Ya it does!
Hopefully different showrunner
Get Russell T back and get him to write a series of these 2 Dr's together that would bring the fans back
Hmm, Rose and the 10th Doctor from the alternate universe could drag the 11th Doctor away from Trenzalor to do all sorts of adventures any time in the actor's lives.
Why? Their eras have passed.
@@cybellejohnson6978 Because they are a hell of a lot better than the soy rubbish we're getting at the minute. You say their era is over but that's the good thing about Dr Who he's a time traveller
lee brown the latest episode was actually pretty damn good. I would recommend watching it. It feels different to last season for sure.
@@leebrown7233 Fully agree imagine watching the latest sjw series and liking it, ruined doctor who.
Oh, how I miss Matt...
He's my first doctor and I re-watch S5-6 from time to time. Just can't get tired of him & the Ponds - my absolute all time favourite Doctor and companions!
The show just doesn't feel the same without him!!TT
Also good to see him and David sitting together, having a little Doctor Who chat... especially when they seemed to genuinely enjoy it :D
I love it when actors who have played the Doctor discuss these sort of things with each other, it's a real joy seeing them interact lol
I still think it's funny that Peter Capaldi who took over the role of Doctor Who played a character in World War Z named W.H.O. Doctor...
World Health Organization, right? Yeah, that's great!
@@cryptozoomauler5505 yeah, I thought that was hilarious!
9:06 David asking Matt the questions instead of the interviewer
Had a big smile through this
I love the fact that Matt loved being doctor who SO MUCH that when ever he promotes something else he still picks doctor who
Even David Tennant recognising that not having Christmas specials really sucks
I think the Christmas Special idea is brilliant. Each Christmas you get a special with a different retired Doctor, and the marketing makes which one a surprise. What a joy that’d be. You get Tennant one year, McGann the next, Capaldi on the year off, Smith for a tune. What a lovely idea for a new tradition. Plus, it’s such a fun concept with a lot of potential to experiment and go wild or keep it simple and charming. You could even get McCoy and Smith to team up on one and see them play off each other. That’d be great. Oh, I want this to become a thing. You could even get each Doctor’s original crew to make it! And, if Chibnall wanted, he could make them all combine for a MultiDoctor Special at the end of his run. It’s perfect.
It seems the current production team do not want to go anywhere near Christmas, as they have abandoned any idea of festive specials now. Looks like for the rest of Chibnalls time we will never get any Christmas Day specials.
I think you about called it
When they move the Christmas specials, that’s when I realised that doctor who was never going to be the same
I could watch the both of them for such a long time
Oh my god, this is wonderful! I hope that they both get to show up on the show again in guest roles. :)
Well, theres a 60th anniversary coming up in 2023... just saying...🤷♂️
Yep
@Aslan T Vorlon Even if they are, Jodie can still return, along with these two, Capaldi, Eccleston if he up to it and whoever the 14th doctor is...
@Aslan T Vorlon Hows 13 "man-hating?" Shes best mates with two of 'em? Granted, one is Bradley Walsh, who in all his magnificence transends all mere human boundaries such as gender, but still..
@Aslan T Vorlon I'm sorry your masculinity is threatened
they're both at the same time charming and super dorky
that Tennant Comment gave me an idea of a different Christmas Carol for one of the Specials. An old doctor, the current doctor and the announcement of the next doctor. But they already did the Christmas Carol special.
Day of the doctor
In many ways Twice Upon a Time is that. David (Bill) is past, Peter is present and Jodie is future
That Christmas Carol special was my very favorite Christmas special. I always cry and I always smile.
Me: I’ve got a million things to do. First thing: upload your latest episode then back to work.
Also me: must watch every second of this interview
Petition to start a rally to bring back Doctor Who Christmas Specials!!
What is important when you give up being the Doctor is that no one is ever ready. The Doctor, the audience, the companion, no one. But it matters so much to the legacy of the Doctor to leave when they have secured the love of all the fans. Leaves big shoes to fill for sure but that is the beauty of the show.
I'd love to have a Christmas special from each of them every year.
What would a doctor like that be, would he even count?!?! Pall McGann
Paul McGann went on to portray The Doctor throughout the entire time between the TV movie and the new series. He voiced The Doctor in all of the radio dramas for years and years. Then they brought him back again for a short bit to show how he went from his Doctor to John Hurt's War Doctor.
Valashar I know mate he’s my favourite doctor
@@menwithven2862 Oh. Cheers, then! :D At first read your first comment felt like a dig at his short time on screen. ^_^
Paul McGann at least had a whole movie on screen. David was talking about only possibly being on screen for 30 seconds.
Paul McGann is the longest running doctor ever lol. He’s done 25 years with no gaps
I love seeing those two again
I love how they understand that they are custodians of a great and important role. I think Doctor's 2-12 really understood the fact that this wasn't just something they could wing and create. That there was a history to the character that needed to be taken into account. They found a way to make the character their own while still staying true to the core of who the character was. Hats off to Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee, T. Baker, Davison, C. Baker, McCoy, McGann, Hurt, Eccelston, Tennant, Smith, and Capaldi! The true Doctors of Doctor Who!
12 years since I started watching doctor who. Over 3 quarters of my life spent watching such a brilliant show and I never knew I’d miss it too much.
I can not imagine anyone more perfect than David Tennant.
Matt could absolutely get away with crossing over into a new adventure (either singularly or with Jodie).
I could see the 4 of them working really well together tbh
tolmat4411 which four?
@@jflamingo26 Her companions AKA "The Fam"
Alondra NFV oh i thought they were talking about her and other doctors
@@jflamingo26 That could be it also. Her companions were the first thing that came up when I read the comment
I love their dynamic. They're just interviewing themself and reminiscing about the old days. I could watch this for hours!
My two favorite doctors
I could listen to these two talk for hours.
i think it’s so interesting that eccleston didn’t even want to stay long enough to have david film his entrance on the same day. the tensions between him and the bbc must have really been high
Jodie's last line of tag your it, genius!! I'd love to see her in special with 9-12 and any of the former companions
I absolutely love their chemistry it’s like they have been friends their entire lives
48 year old David rocking the ripped jeans.
Old Me:I feel young😉😁
Is he really 48!?
@@michaelspeldewinde107 yes I think he is 49 actually
David is 48? Really?
@@Megs_Tour_Vlogs 49 now in fact, he was born in 1971
I think it looks wrong! It's what I would expect Bill Potts to wear. Not the Doctor.
What a fun interview, thank you for sharing it
You're welcome! 🤗 Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
I will never stop loving these guys.
And pretty much everyone else who played the Doctor
Ten will be my first doctor forever i love them all
A genuine blessing these two are , great characters played by even greater people 🔥🫡
When tennant talks about not wanting to be the guy that regenerates for 30 seconds and the series goes no where all I can think about is Richard e Grant, he played the doctor in an animated film before Christopher eccleston and also played him in a comedy bit with Mr. Bean and finally came back for matt smith as the great intelligence. He was the doctor and no one really remembers but he has hung around doctor who for so long.
David: “Why aren’t they doing it on Christmas Day anymore? What’s going on people?” *trying to be all positive like nothing is wrong but clearly is shaken up by it*
Matt: *sighs and shrugs sadly trying not to anything damaging* “Idk... idk..”
A huge part of your life/your childhood and inspiration, the community that you will love until the day you die. Just imagine watching it all die and burn in complete silence. It’s just so 💔💔
"A different Doctor for every Christmas special." That's actually a GREAT idea! These two fellas - I love them so much!
Hearing them talk about how much they loved being to doctor makes me so happy. They enjoyed being they doctor and I enjoyed watching they're adventures
Why is Matt dressed like he rolled out of bed in 1998?
He's a mad mad in a blue box - bluest of blue - so he probably did...
Time Traveler!
Because he can.
He's a time traveler.
Why is David wearing russian flag?
David's back again in 2023...fab!!
"giving up the mantle"
David Tennant: well you see actually...
I've always loved their christmas specials the most. I'm glad they did too
Matt Smith regretted quitting early, take no notice of what he says here, he should have stayed on for one more series and he knows it.
John King That’s why the rolled Clara over to 12. They felt as if she didn’t have enough time with 11, so if he stayed on for another season she would never have been with 12.
@@lasagnamafia It seems Matt felt there was more money to be made in films. However when he left, the offers did not come flooding in for him.
@@johnking5174 He was gonna be in the new Star Wars film then his role was cut short, then he was replaced altogether (script rewrites).
Well, at least he was great in The Crown.
Hoping that Matt Smith is stellar in Morbius movie. If you're a Spider-Man fan, you already know who Morbius is. Looks good!
Interesting that both times the regeneration in new Who has been filmed without the next one there ready to do it the same day, the next one has been David Tennant! Assuming Ncuti was there for Tennant's as he appeared in the trailer after Power of the Doctor!
Come back Matt!! 😭
I could watch hours on hours of them interacting together. The visual of David running through a station in his costume absolutely sent me.
Matt Smith was there for both of David Tennant’s last scenes
Please bring them back. Watching Doctor who now is like living a bad dream.
honestly the idea of bringing back old doctors for chrissie specials isn't half-bad... it's whimsical, attention-grabbing, spectacular...
It was such an honour to be there for this!! I loved these .. I was sat in the room as this happened..best day of my life.
Matt Smith and David Tennant are the best doctor in my opinion
Jarrod Edson David tennant was my favourite doctor and it was the reason why I liked doctor who, then Matt smith and at first I didn’t like him and stopped watching him and then I came back when Amy and Rory dies and Clara joined.
Matt and David have such great chemistry everytime they're together
