Knowing his dad died almost exactly one year later makes his reactions hit so much harder. Glad David's dad got to see his son be recognized like this.
@@deathnotefanatic4742how is it disrespectful this video is probably one of the last few memories he has about his dad and being able to hear his dad's voice and talking greatly about him, the fact his dad died a year later shows that David unlike alot of other people lucky to have his dad see this moment and his dad was very lucky to be able to see how far his son has come
Yeah, he stayed with his mouth open for most of the video. And you can tell by how moved his wife was that his reaction was absolutely genuine. Seems like a nice person.
I love how at first he didn’t believe it. Then he couldn’t believe it. Then he didn’t think he deserved it. Then he was moved by it. Clearly he’s as humble and kind as they all say.
If you ever get the chance to meet David Tennant do not hesitate. He's genuine, kind and so down to earth. He doesn't exude that " I'm a movie star and you're not" b.s. He's still a fan of the show too! I met him last year in Boston. Just such a lovely deserving man. ♥ ♥
There's nothing this man can't do. He's honestly one of the best actors of our time. He is so clever in the way he plays, he never act plainly, he always adds subtilities, especially with his eyes and his voice. His whole body acts, he lives his roles I'm coping with the end of Go (where he was just magnificent, I agree with you) by watching his Shakespeare's roles and once again he's magnetic, you can't detach your eyes
I think that’s why he played the role so well. David was a HUGE fan of Doctor Who as a kid so to get to play the role was probably an honor unlike any other to him
Olivia: "Something about David that makes him particularly good is his complete lack of ego" David: *sitting there agape, shaking his head ever so slightly because he has no ego*
i love the fact that he was totally unaware of this award and the emotions he exhibited were so real and raw to his core. He truly deserved this award and am looking forward to his future in acting or whatever else he does because he is the real shit.
@@sheogorath907 yes he is a gorgeous man. Sent ma wee boy nice postcards when he was the Doctor. They were not just signed but personalised too. Lovely guy.
I can’t get over Georgia’s reaction… she just looks so genuinely touched that her husband got this recognition. Her eyes just scream “yes, love, yes. Finally. You deserve this love.” ❤❤❤
And now he’s added yet another cult character homerun to his legacy. Nobody else could have played Crowley like he did. Good Omens, what a ride that was!!
What always gets me is how proud everyone around him is, while David just can't believe that they actually mean him. During the whole thing he looks like he's waiting for the punch line. Like he expects someone to jump up and say: "It's all right, David - this was a joke here is the actual winner." Just shows how humble and down to earth he is despite the huge fame he gathered during the time as The Doctor.
I don't know what is more touching, his lost and emotional look, or Georgia trying to hold back her tears! Total absence of ego, Olivia Colman really hit the point. It's nice to see that sometimes good things happen to those who deserve them
I love Olivia Coleman, too, but I disagree with her wording. DT has an abundantly healthy ego. Otherwise, he wouldn't have anything to give. What she has conveyed is that he is totally authentic, humble, genuine, and open. He commits 💯 to the roles he embodies, be they comedic, goofy, dramatic, heart-wrenching, or being himself. He does so without a shred of self-consciousness and is totally comfortable in his body without inhibitions. He is totally unaware of what he possesses, which is obvious to those who experience him and that totally endears him to us. I especially love that Georgia seems to be a regular person vs. a trophy or Barbie wife.
You can see it, he was so close to crying near the end, it's such a genuine and pure reaction! David truly is a wonder to the acting world, and the world as a whole!
At this time his family knew that his father had an incurable disease and was not going to be around much longer so his dad taking the energy and effort to speak for this obviously floored him
David Tenant is the only actor who inspires me to watch something simply because he plays a role in it. It's a guaranteed seal of quality and thrilling performances.
No, Depp and Cumberbatch are not worthy of the same accolades, not as actors nor as people. David is. The only other one who might be comparable is Keanu Reeves.
David gets special recognition and his first words to thanks it is: I'm so glad I didn't got stuck im traffic. Such a simple guy, that's why we love him.
Just Incase you didn’t know, he was joking about how earlier on in the evening Sheridan smith showed up late to receive her reward because she got stuck in traffic😂
Every now and then this will pop up in my recommendations and I'll watch it again and I always think it is the most wholesome reaction I've ever seen. The confusion, the shock, the disbelief at all the lovely things people were saying about him...and seeing the reactions of others as well, there was barely a face there that wasn't looking at him walking onto the stage with a look of pure admiration and pride for him, knowing he truly deserved it. A true talent.
The line that said ‘you see that man and you want to spend that hour with him’ is so so true. I felt that with every episode of Doctor Who with this man.
Not only did this man deserve this award, he deserved to hear a full theater hoot and holler, cheer, and applaud for him getting that award. Now, when can we expect a knighthood?
+Allison Kitaguchi Damn I actually did cry & yea the master of emotions he is to keep it together over there, that was truly a special moment for him and all the great people he has worked with and all the amazing moments he had with them.
@@aidenlarson9911 He had presented a trophy earlier in the evening and the person awarded was stuck in traffic and didn't make it in time... So that's that :-)
old comment but have to add this. agreed, when i learned they got married and didn't know much about david, my thoughts were "oh, of course, he married the cutest actress of the show" but that reaction shows it is real love, not some "celebrity marriage"
@@thecursed01 Oh, I'm not sure if you're British or not, but I can assure you she isn't a famous actress here (and I mean that with no disrespect). She married David for David -- she is not seeking anything untoward. The funny thing is: her father also played one of the original Doctors... fate has a sense of humour...
I agree. In my opinion he was and always will be the best Doctor! I’ve never cried so hard as I did when he and Rose parted on the beach and when Tennent regenerated into Smith while saying “I don’t want to go”….soul killing grief!
@@kerrijohnson2303 He really did give us 3 breath taking seasons, and when he finally did say "I don't want to go" it felt like David was saying it himself too. Hands down the best doctor, whether it was him leaving us in tears burning up a sun to say goodbye to Rose or giving us a laugh seeing him banter with Donna. But hey, it looks like what I've been wishing for for years has finally come true!!- He's back and gonna be appearing as the Doctor again in 3 specials next year! FINALLY
@@dareka727 I totally agree. His natural personality and stage presence and good nature just made his doctor the most natural fit..he was funny, but if angry, he was scary angry..his tears on the show seemed so real and he was so sad and gutted when sad things happened, he was witty and kind, lonely and deep and insecure, he rolled with whatever the doctor had to face and it never seemed like he was acting..it felt real. When river whispers his real name to him when he meets her the first time and his reaction and his race to save her in the library had me going crazy. It’s just him. He’s a really good and easygoing and happy guy in real life and it comes through in acting. I liked Matt smith a lot but doctor who will never be as good as the tenth to me. I quit watching when Matt left. I wish he’d go back to who full on and I’m sure he’d do it if offered. It would bring the show back on top. As is the show is just blah and getting worse.
@@kerrijohnson2303 Yes! That's why there's no other contender for 'my Doctor'. He was always so passionate and emotive and not just with the delivery of the lines, but in his whole body language and facial expressions too. He did feel very natural in the role. It's always a very immersive experience watching him, he is so charismatic and captivating as an actor, that his tears brought about my own, his laughs too. The glimpses of the Doctor's loneliness and insecurity that peak through his otherwise seemingly endless brilliance play a subtle part in making the Doctor more relatable. And David Tennant nailed this. It all felt so real, a Doctor unlike any other. The relationship between him and River that unfolded in just 2 episodes in the library was brilliant. The 'I point and laugh at archaeologists' and sonic screwdriver comparisons and 'pretty boy' to her whispering his secret to him and him saving her. Loved it. Maybe a main reason his version of the Doctor is so distinct is because a large part of his real life self is reflected in it. I quite liked Matt, and stopped watching at some point in Capaldi. It was never going to be easy for anyone to come after Tennant I guess. I did like seeing the backstory to River Song play out with Matt, but could barely get through any Capaldi. It would be soso good to see him back in the role full on. If the 3 specials coming next year draw in a big enough crowd, he could be called back by popular demand. Well we can only hope.
more than that i think it's also just the fact that david has pretty much always been a huge doctor who fan and getting to actually be the doctor is basically the role of a lifetime for anyone, let alone a lifelong fan.
My husband correctly me as well as we had just been married and standing in the cold outside the church I said, gosh, it's bloody cold! He turned and looked at me with disgust and said don't swear. He is lucky it was our wedding as I would've walked straight out. Instead I made his life a misery the last 46 years, hahaha
No matter how much kids do not want to say out loud for the world to hear, I love my Daddy, especially MEN. This man has earned his father's respect , I believe because he loves his DAD. It showed didn't it.
I met David while at work at a service station, He was the loveliest and most genuine guy! No whole charade, just a man with his family and so polite to everyone!
I've watched every NTA ceremony since 2006 and I have never, before or since, seen an audience stand up so instantly! That was actually very touching. 🥺💗💗
He was filming Dr Who near my home years back, I must have been around 7. We waited outside just to see all the production, then a lady came out, took my Dr Who annual inside to see if she could get him to sign it, around 5 minutes later I was handed a signed annual and some Dr Who £5 notes by David Tennant himself. That’s something he didn’t have to do but I will forever remember. A genuinely kind and great person, deserving of the award.
I agree with you, but give it time. Actors generally don't get knighted until after years and years of service to drama, and David will hopefully have a long, fantastic career ahead of him. Hopefully he will receive an Order of the British Empire soon, though.
I love how for the first few minutes its Broadchurch and his realistic roles, but then as soon it hits 3:02 and we hear "I'm the Doctpr" he has that slight smile come on. He IS The Doctor, for so many of us. And he is so much more. Thank you David.
I think I’ve probably watched this TV moment 7 times in the last few years and it’s only now hit me how his wife is close to tears too. She’s touching his shoulder - support when he’s emotional - but she clearly knows how important this would be to him and is emotional herself being so happy and proud of him. ❤️
I'm bawling as I watch this for two reasons. One - David totally deserves this recognition and his honestly beautiful reaction makes this so special. Second - how wonderful it would be for all of us to still be alive when our loved ones and colleagues speak so highly of us! This kind of tribute is usually told after we are dead (if we're deserving). I'd like to see more of this done when we are alive to witness and FEEL the love!
David Tennant will always be the best doctor who ever lived. David will always be THE Doctor. He completely embodied everything The Doctor is, was and ever will be. What a legend.
David comes across as a genuinely good person. He is talented, but he also seems quite grounded. There is a kindness to his performances, an authenticity and warmth. His doctor was funny, quirky, sweet and decent. I’m not at all surprised he is so loved by his peers.
When my youngest son was watching Doctor who, he always got excited and had this clever instinct about the story arc. He wrote to himm saying it was his 8th birthday he sent an autographed card even with the words Happy birthday Kyle. My 2 young people as they are were my carers for ages. Kyle wrote him and got 2 cards back.. one for me saying get well too. Kyle hits 10... another card saying happy 10th. Then David's mum died of Cancer.. Kyle went straight into drawing mode and drew him a picture of Davids mum up in the sky with wings smiling at him! And a few weeks later got another card saying thank you Kyle. Then 2010 came. David was leaving. That was the last card with him as the doctor. Kyle was 11 and Matt Smith was in. Kyle still loves Doctor Who. But for 4 years David sent 6 photo's all signed. What a lovely guy. And yes a very modest man. It made me laugh listening to them exclaiming that both of them have kids about Kyle's age (now 20 and at Uni) going up and saying "you were my Doctor" age comes to us all. I am all too ewll know coz I'm 48 as well!!
I got to meet him at Motor City Comic Con this past May. An announcement was made that David would be staying on until ALL autographs were done. He had 3 photo sessions with Freema and then the photos with just him so there wasn't much time to do the autograph sessions. He really cares about the fans.
Yeah. When he hears his dad's voice and starts to look like he is about to cry and, without even looking, her left hand moves up to touch his shoulder in support...that is love right there.
I avoided this video, cause I thought it might be cheesy. but it turned out emotional and great. The way Georgia was teary and patting his shoulder, the way he was looking around confused and surprised, the way Olivia Colman was genuinely happy. I'm gonna rewatch it again and again.
Also his wife knew she was instrumental and instructed to get him there earlier. There is a clip about her trying to get him there floating around somewhere.
David seems to be the kind of person that I hope my children grow up to be. Humanity and humility are so critical and so generally undervalued. Just beautiful.
I actually like the side stories. It showed what is worse. Literal manipulation or conventional manipulation. Are we the monsters? Or is Kilgrave the only monster? Guess what, Purple Man can't even tell the difference. Authenticity is hidden by regular people. If we were all authentic all the time, there wouldn't be a blur line. Also, not all of victims attacked Jessica, only three of them, the 4th one tried to stop their stupidity.
David Tennant is one of those actors that ALWAYS gives 100% to any role he plays but also has a lot of fun playing them. From Shakespeare, to Doctor Who, to Marvel, Good Omens and even cartoons, he really is such a fun actor to watch LOVED his reaction to Olivia Colman’s comments in the video. You can just tell how much all these actors mean to him
i’m not someone who really has favorite actors but i mean it every way, david tennant quite literally raised me. from doctor who to broad church to good omens. he is someone who no matter what he is in i will watch
He is genuinely one of the best actors of all time. Not even just because he's an amazing and unbelievably talented actor, but because he puts everything he has into his work and he makes everyone around him feel an immense amount of joy. I love him so much and I hope he has the happiest life
What is insane is since he was given this he has done enough incredible roles to get nominated back in again for the same award. Even if you ignored everything before this award.
I had to go back and watch this because I just saw the backstage video when he and Olivia were presenting an award at this awards show - and the recipient didn't come up to get it because she was stuck in traffic! I loved the "I'm so glad I didn't get stuck in traffic" reaction before, but that knowledge makes it even more hilarious! Lovely man!
I adored Christopher Eccleston's Doctor and wanted so much more... so when this new guy (who I'd never seen before in anything ever) turned up, I was determined not to like him... But then in that first episode, when he said, "It... is... DEFENDED."... I began to doubt my resolve. Then David proceeded, over the next few years, to give me the very best incarnation of The Doctor that I could have possibly imagined. And him and Donna together... my favourite pair by far. So yes... Despite my absolute determination not to give him any kind of chance, by God, He... Is... MY DOCTOR.
Oh man, the Christmas Invasion. He literally came swashbuckling in out of the TARDIS, like nothing we'd ever seen before...sparkling with razor wit and Errol Flynn flair, breaking the Sycorax's staff over his knee, quoting the Lion King, and pushing the BIG RED THREATENING BUTTON. He just swept in and took ownership of the whole show. With those enormous, shining eyes and 100-kilowatt smile. Smote, I was.
I was the same. I’d only seen him in one other part and he played a cruel character so well I thought it couldn’t work. I’ve not watched dr who since he left as he was and I my dr.
You pretty much took the words right out of my mouth. I loved Eccleston and still do wish he had stuck around longer another season at least and than Tennant brought in for his 3 seasons. Tennant is my favorite Doctor and Donna is also my favorite companion, Doctor Donna forever!
Six minute video of colleagues, friends and family singing David's praises and how wonderful he is. David: takes the trophy, wide-eyed, and looks around for something to say. David: "...I am so glad I didn't get stuck in traffic." That's why people like you, man. Never change.
I can't imagine the feeling of having an entire concert amount of people cheering you and you only for who you are and what you've achieved. Must be amazing.
It seems clear, this dedication was very emotional for him. His facial expressions seem as though he was between a full smile showing all his teeth and breaking down crying. A sweet moment to witness. Another human being being celebrated, celebrating their achievements.
The genuine shock on his face as it dawned on him. A modest, simple guy loves his work. You know what they say about actors; there are those who are humble and those waiting to be humbled.
I'm pretty sure that it was one of the last interviews his father did before he passed away. When his dad appeared, you saw David's face crumble slightly, but you could tell he felt happy that his father was onscreen, praising his son. Loved it when he said, "But then, as you must realize, I'm his dad." Wonderful way to end a praising compilation of a talented actor and incredible human being.
He truly is just a lovely person. I’ve actually met him a few times at conventions here in Canada, and he’s ALWAYS got a big genuine smile for everyone and, unlike some actors I could name that do sci-fi cons, he’s extremely genuine and self-effacing and really makes a point of making time for each and every person. The last time I saw him, he was insanely busy during the photo ops and although I did manage to get in (we were getting some pics of the actors for an auction to raise funds for an animal rescue) there was no time to chat. But he was still so sweet and absolutely fabulous about it all, so I got the shots and meandered off. End of the day rolls around and I was getting everything ready to go (we had a booth that year). Now, keep in mind, this man had been there ALL day, doing meet & greets, photos, autographs, you name it, and I know for a fact that he’d only just flown in the day before for that event. I myself was absolutely exhausted, and as I was walking to my vehicle I heard a shout behind me. It was (I think?) his assistant & she told me he’d seen me leaving but just was wondering if I had time for a quick chat to better fill him in on our auction. Well, of COURSE I went with her lol, and David was genuinely curious about what and how our rescue worked, and truly did want to learn more about it & how we did things (we foster all the animals out to approved foster homes as it’s much better for all the adoptees mentally and physically than being in a shelter) and then asked if there was any way he could help more. (HE actually apologized to ME about interrupting my leaving to go home, LOL!). We chatted for about 30 mins, then went our separate ways. Now, I can’t say with certainty that it was David for sure, but I do know that a few days later we received one of the biggest anonymous donations we’ve EVER received. Would not at all surprise me to learn it was indeed from him. 🥰 Truly just an all around wonderful person. So glad he received this award ❤️
Sounds like the only thing that could have made this better was if John Barrowman had been there as well. Or was he? Because I think he might have come with David.
Especially when his dad started talking about him. Loved it when he said, "But then, as you must realize, I'm his dad." Now, his father may be gone, but in the end, he was proud of David. As we all are.
Doctor Who Good Omens Hamlet Casanova Richard II Broadchurch Jessica Jones Deadwater Fell Harry Potter Staged Single Father Bad Samaritan Des David brought all of these to life. He may not be the most famous actor or the highest paid actor, but he is my favourite actor and always will be.

Johnny depp too
Benedict Cumberbatch also
Like the Razzie?
No, Depp and Cumberbatch are not worthy of the same accolades, not as actors nor as people. David is. The only other one who might be comparable is Keanu Reeves.
None of them are in the same league as Daniel Day Lewis.
David gets special recognition and his first words to thanks it is: I'm so glad I didn't got stuck im traffic.
Such a simple guy, that's why we love him.
It's a joke because earlier in the show, he and Olivia Colman were to hand out an award and the recipient was stuck in traffic.
She's not Steven Moffats daughter. She is Peter Davidson's daughter, who played the fifth doctor.
A joke, not just to make people laugh but to give him time to put himself together as well. Lol
Yessss
Also i love your pfp XD
I felt big doctor who energy when he said that
"I am SO glad I didn't get stuck in traffic". 😂 Classic David. This is such a wholesome moment and he's absolutely fantastic!!!!!! 🤩
*brilliant
Indeed, that too! 😊
Just Incase you didn’t know, he was joking about how earlier on in the evening Sheridan smith showed up late to receive her reward because she got stuck in traffic😂
😂
On the M25
So much Van Goph in the museum energy. I literally weep every time I see this tribute. Such a class act.
Yes!!
Every now and then this will pop up in my recommendations and I'll watch it again and I always think it is the most wholesome reaction I've ever seen. The confusion, the shock, the disbelief at all the lovely things people were saying about him...and seeing the reactions of others as well, there was barely a face there that wasn't looking at him walking onto the stage with a look of pure admiration and pride for him, knowing he truly deserved it. A true talent.
I know right? I LOVE this so much. It's so touching 😢
Same here! Just popped up again for me. Have to watch it every time. It's so precious.
The expression on his face in the moment he realizes that it's him is completely priceless.
I could have a gif of the instant when he realizes this, and watch it all my life
if i could make one i'd immediately do D:
***** i will love you forever
***** oh my god u are perfect thank u so much
+CullenDraws especially when he sees his dad
Tennant's Doctor is the best version of the Doctor in Doctor who.
Agreed
Sorry Matt Smith
@@moodmusic4life He's amazing too. But Tennant still wins for me.
Bow ties are cool tho XD
@@thespoonman2918 Yes, very XD
@Twiggy He was pretty heckin awesome. He actually hated his role of the Doctor though.
The line that said ‘you see that man and you want to spend that hour with him’ is so so true. I felt that with every episode of Doctor Who with this man.
Not only did this man deserve this award, he deserved to hear a full theater hoot and holler, cheer, and applaud for him getting that award. Now, when can we expect a knighthood?
They offered him one of those title things (OBE, MBE that kind of thing, not sure which) he turned it down
@@Pr1nceofdarkness Are you kidding? That's even better!
Do we know what his reason was for turning it down?

HIS FACE HE WAS SO SURPRISED AND SO HAPPY I'M GOING TO CRY
+Allison Kitaguchi I wonder how he could keep it together if we were crying just watching this on youtube
+reezlaw Because he's Awesome! =D
+Allison Kitaguchi Damn I actually did cry & yea the master of emotions he is to keep it together over there, that was truly a special moment for him and all the great people he has worked with and all the amazing moments he had with them.
Omg he looked so surprised and so happy!!! And his wife (next to him?) looks so emotional!!
I cried a little when *500 miles* started playing
It's so sweet that his dad and him have similar voices. I imagine that is what David will sound like in 30 years.
Yeah, it’s rather uncanny 😂🥰
8 years later this is still the hardest hitting reaction for this award 😭😭😭
David Tennant: *Get Special Regonition award*
Also David Tennant: "I'm glad I didn't get stuck in traffic."
And that's why we love him.
thats honestly the best reply in that situation
@@aidenlarson9911 He had presented a trophy earlier in the evening and the person awarded was stuck in traffic and didn't make it in time... So that's that :-)

@@smartstuf1026 "Thanks"
The look on Georgia's face and the way she touches his shoulder when his dad says "he's gentle" - oh that's love!
old comment but have to add this. agreed, when i learned they got married and didn't know much about david, my thoughts were "oh, of course, he married the cutest actress of the show" but that reaction shows it is real love, not some "celebrity marriage"
So sad both his mum and dad are gone.
@@thecursed01 Oh, I'm not sure if you're British or not, but I can assure you she isn't a famous actress here (and I mean that with no disrespect). She married David for David -- she is not seeking anything untoward. The funny thing is: her father also played one of the original Doctors... fate has a sense of humour...
@@johnathantaylor5913 not only that but she played David Tennant's daughter in Dr who. Quite funny
@@edit_google_docs1955 The Doctor's daughter is in reality the Doctor's daughter AND the Doctor's wife!
You can see he almost smiles at every scene of Doctor Who which shows that he knows that Doctor Who was his best performance yet.
I agree. In my opinion he was and always will be the best Doctor! I’ve never cried so hard as I did when he and Rose parted on the beach and when Tennent regenerated into Smith while saying “I don’t want to go”….soul killing grief!
@@kerrijohnson2303 He really did give us 3 breath taking seasons, and when he finally did say "I don't want to go" it felt like David was saying it himself too. Hands down the best doctor, whether it was him leaving us in tears burning up a sun to say goodbye to Rose or giving us a laugh seeing him banter with Donna.
But hey, it looks like what I've been wishing for for years has finally come true!!- He's back and gonna be appearing as the Doctor again in 3 specials next year! FINALLY
@@dareka727 I totally agree. His natural personality and stage presence and good nature just made his doctor the most natural fit..he was funny, but if angry, he was scary angry..his tears on the show seemed so real and he was so sad and gutted when sad things happened, he was witty and kind, lonely and deep and insecure, he rolled with whatever the doctor had to face and it never seemed like he was acting..it felt real. When river whispers his real name to him when he meets her the first time and his reaction and his race to save her in the library had me going crazy. It’s just him. He’s a really good and easygoing and happy guy in real life and it comes through in acting. I liked Matt smith a lot but doctor who will never be as good as the tenth to me. I quit watching when Matt left. I wish he’d go back to who full on and I’m sure he’d do it if offered. It would bring the show back on top. As is the show is just blah and getting worse.
@@kerrijohnson2303 Yes! That's why there's no other contender for 'my Doctor'. He was always so passionate and emotive and not just with the delivery of the lines, but in his whole body language and facial expressions too. He did feel very natural in the role. It's always a very immersive experience watching him, he is so charismatic and captivating as an actor, that his tears brought about my own, his laughs too. The glimpses of the Doctor's loneliness and insecurity that peak through his otherwise seemingly endless brilliance play a subtle part in making the Doctor more relatable. And David Tennant nailed this. It all felt so real, a Doctor unlike any other. The relationship between him and River that unfolded in just 2 episodes in the library was brilliant. The 'I point and laugh at archaeologists' and sonic screwdriver comparisons and 'pretty boy' to her whispering his secret to him and him saving her. Loved it. Maybe a main reason his version of the Doctor is so distinct is because a large part of his real life self is reflected in it.
I quite liked Matt, and stopped watching at some point in Capaldi. It was never going to be easy for anyone to come after Tennant I guess. I did like seeing the backstory to River Song play out with Matt, but could barely get through any Capaldi.
It would be soso good to see him back in the role full on. If the 3 specials coming next year draw in a big enough crowd, he could be called back by popular demand. Well we can only hope.
more than that i think it's also just the fact that david has pretty much always been a huge doctor who fan and getting to actually be the doctor is basically the role of a lifetime for anyone, let alone a lifelong fan.
Makes me laugh when he realizes and turns to his wife and she has to say "Don't swear!"
when did that happen? was it at the start of the video?
@@namii1016 0:25
I watched this live he is so amazing 😍😍
@@HIEEE2112 thanks
My husband correctly me as well as we had just been married and standing in the cold outside the church I said, gosh, it's bloody cold! He turned and looked at me with disgust and said don't swear. He is lucky it was our wedding as I would've walked straight out. Instead I made his life a misery the last 46 years, hahaha
He just about holds it together. For ten seconds. Then he sees his Dad.
He lost his dad not long after.
No matter how much kids do not want to say out loud for the world to hear, I love my Daddy, especially MEN.
This man has earned his father's respect , I believe because he loves his DAD. It showed didn't it.
I still cry every time I re re re watch that fragment😢😢. David is genuinely emotional there💖💖💖
@@annieinwonderland Aaw! That makes that so....
I met David while at work at a service station, He was the loveliest and most genuine guy! No whole charade, just a man with his family and so polite to everyone!
I've watched every NTA ceremony since 2006 and I have never, before or since, seen an audience stand up so instantly!
That was actually very touching. 🥺💗💗
He was filming Dr Who near my home years back, I must have been around 7.
We waited outside just to see all the production, then a lady came out, took my Dr Who annual inside to see if she could get him to sign it, around 5 minutes later I was handed a signed annual and some Dr Who £5 notes by David Tennant himself. That’s something he didn’t have to do but I will forever remember.
A genuinely kind and great person, deserving of the award.
Awh what did it say?
You are genuinely so lucky
lol u ded
Great actor, great person, he deserves the recognition and respect he gets. Give him a knighthood
I agree with you, but give it time. Actors generally don't get knighted until after years and years of service to drama, and David will hopefully have a long, fantastic career ahead of him. Hopefully he will receive an Order of the British Empire soon, though.
I am rewatching alot of doctor who parts and David tennant videos I thought I was sick the only one who came back to see these then I see u guys yayy

I love how for the first few minutes its Broadchurch and his realistic roles, but then as soon it hits 3:02 and we hear "I'm the Doctpr" he has that slight smile come on. He IS The Doctor, for so many of us. And he is so much more. Thank you David.
I miss him as the Doctor so much.

+Vercalos al'Corlin Well he's doing new stories with Big Finish! Woo!

I like how he looks at his wife and because she knew she covered her face but he figured it out from her eyes all the same. Relationship goals.
@@kae-uz2cc also oi, no OI!
I think I’ve probably watched this TV moment 7 times in the last few years and it’s only now hit me how his wife is close to tears too. She’s touching his shoulder - support when he’s emotional - but she clearly knows how important this would be to him and is emotional herself being so happy and proud of him. ❤️
Hey Eric Hello there how are you doing today are you okay?
I'm bawling as I watch this for two reasons. One - David totally deserves this recognition and his honestly beautiful reaction makes this so special. Second - how wonderful it would be for all of us to still be alive when our loved ones and colleagues speak so highly of us! This kind of tribute is usually told after we are dead (if we're deserving). I'd like to see more of this done when we are alive to witness and FEEL the love!

One of the most underrated actors... but that's what makes him him
***** yes but he'll never be as big movie actors from the us that are known worldwide
***** doesn't matter if they suck they are praised worldwide
Jesse _ Still underrated!
Underrated? Not really...maybe because he's not a male lead on a big budget film in Hollywood like Cumberbatch?
i really want him to get an oscar or some major internationally recognised award. he’s honestly one of the greatest actors of our time.
This is the video I watch when I want to cry in positive way. David has something so genuine in his reaction that just gets me every time
David Tennant will always be the best doctor who ever lived. David will always be THE Doctor. He completely embodied everything The Doctor is, was and ever will be. What a legend.
The way he looks when his dad is on screen makes my want to burst out crying😥😥😍😍
His dad has died shortly before he received this so he was especially emotional 😩
Shay Virtue oh my goodness I didn’t realise that😭😩😩
@@LilMissSEC
Actually, his dad died a year after this video was posted, so you got your timeline off:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_McDonald
@@ohauss very true, but he was probably emotional because his dad was terminally ill by that point
Mashallah tbark allah alhamudillah inshallah better AStgfrallah
David comes across as a genuinely good person. He is talented, but he also seems quite grounded. There is a kindness to his performances, an authenticity and warmth. His doctor was funny, quirky, sweet and decent. I’m not at all surprised he is so loved by his peers.
When my youngest son was watching Doctor who, he always got excited and had this clever instinct about the story arc. He wrote to himm saying it was his 8th birthday he sent an autographed card even with the words Happy birthday Kyle. My 2 young people as they are were my carers for ages. Kyle wrote him and got 2 cards back.. one for me saying get well too.
Kyle hits 10... another card saying happy 10th.
Then David's mum died of Cancer.. Kyle went straight into drawing mode and drew him a picture of Davids mum up in the sky with wings smiling at him! And a few weeks later got another card saying thank you Kyle.
Then 2010 came. David was leaving. That was the last card with him as the doctor.
Kyle was 11 and Matt Smith was in. Kyle still loves Doctor Who. But for 4 years David sent 6 photo's all signed. What a lovely guy. And yes a very modest man. It made me laugh listening to them exclaiming that both of them have kids about Kyle's age (now 20 and at Uni) going up and saying "you were my Doctor" age comes to us all. I am all too ewll know coz I'm 48 as well!!
Bless you !
Benjamin Joseph Kidd-Bentley That is beautiful.
@@leolion3323 yea .. if you ever watch him chatting with kids.. he gets down to their level so he is very good with them.
I got to meet him at Motor City Comic Con this past May. An announcement was made that David would be staying on until ALL autographs were done. He had 3 photo sessions with Freema and then the photos with just him so there wasn't much time to do the autograph sessions. He really cares about the fans.
David and Goergia looked like they were both fighting back tears, I love both of them
At the beginning every time a new person appears on screen he gets increasingly awed.
It's amazing watching the pure delight in his smile.
His face around 33 seconds when Billie begins to speak...omg, my heart melted
And then his dad...there goes my heart again
It's the lip, it makes your heart melt, reconstruct itself, and then melt again.
When he started to break as his dad started speaking, I broke for him. Such a beautiful moment.
I agree
Skeptical Baby he was also sad because he knew his dad was ill
You can tell from his wife's face, that she truly loves him.
Impossible not to!
Jim Norton's Alcoholism I truly love him 😂😉
Yeah. When he hears his dad's voice and starts to look like he is about to cry and, without even looking, her left hand moves up to touch his shoulder in support...that is love right there.
Ikr awwe XD
Jim Norton's Alcoholism beautiful
I avoided this video, cause I thought it might be cheesy. but it turned out emotional and great. The way Georgia was teary and patting his shoulder, the way he was looking around confused and surprised, the way Olivia Colman was genuinely happy. I'm gonna rewatch it again and again.
Also his wife knew she was instrumental and instructed to get him there earlier. There is a clip about her trying to get him there floating around somewhere.
David seems to be the kind of person that I hope my children grow up to be. Humanity and humility are so critical and so generally undervalued. Just beautiful.
David Tennants performance as The Purple man or Kilgrave in Jessica Jones was probably the best thing this year.
+Aemiro Habte It was a device to connect Kilgrave's parents.
luf4rall Yeah, the other people mean nothing really, just Kilgraves mom.
*****
it was also a cheap device to get them trapped (the hanging threat)
I actually like the side stories. It showed what is worse. Literal manipulation or conventional manipulation. Are we the monsters? Or is Kilgrave the only monster? Guess what, Purple Man can't even tell the difference. Authenticity is hidden by regular people. If we were all authentic all the time, there wouldn't be a blur line. Also, not all of victims attacked Jessica, only three of them, the 4th one tried to stop their stupidity.
Isn't purple man suposse to be purple? I mean, i only read a comic of purple man from the 70's, so, how could i know how he is now.
"He's a decent human being"
The highest of praises lol
But he's a flipping good Time Lord
Noah Shanahan-Jewett pardon
In the world we live in? It is.
that is actually a high praise , decency is losing its commonality
David Tennant is one of those actors that ALWAYS gives 100% to any role he plays but also has a lot of fun playing them. From Shakespeare, to Doctor Who, to Marvel, Good Omens and even cartoons, he really is such a fun actor to watch
LOVED his reaction to Olivia Colman’s comments in the video. You can just tell how much all these actors mean to him
i’m not someone who really has favorite actors but i mean it every way, david tennant quite literally raised me. from doctor who to broad church to good omens. he is someone who no matter what he is in i will watch
I've never smiled all the way through a RUclips video. And this just broke that. It's so heartwarming how shocked he is. It's beautiful.
OMG i did the same thing lol
Him yes yes yes! his reaction is so sincere it's beautiful to see such honest pure scenes in a business that is mostly a huge illusion
Great i love dt who does not
0:55 his reaction to Olivia who was 2 seats from him, "you're in this too??" priceless haha
He is genuinely one of the best actors of all time. Not even just because he's an amazing and unbelievably talented actor, but because he puts everything he has into his work and he makes everyone around him feel an immense amount of joy. I love him so much and I hope he has the happiest life
Amen to that
Seconded he deserves eternal happiness
What is insane is since he was given this he has done enough incredible roles to get nominated back in again for the same award. Even if you ignored everything before this award.
I love how Catherine Tate literally cant not make fun of him
I think she got it all out on her show when he was there for an episode
David Tennant - He IS The Doctor
Ashleybradbury yeah he was a gud un it must be said
@max I still watched but it was never the same. He was so perfect in the role and you could just tell he put his heart and soul into it.
He is THE Doctor!
he will always be the doctor
Worldwide petition to have Tennant as the 14th Doctor????
How cute is David's dad! Everyone should be so blessed to have a father who loves him so much.
The way georgia touches his shoulder when his dad comes up, that understanding and toughtfullness ❤ i want a guy who does that.
One of the most romantic moments ever that I have seen.
I loved how his smile was renewed every time someone else from his career started talking. He just loves them all.
Just watched Good Omens and had to come back to this video, what a unique and phenomenal person and actor. ❤️
SAME! did u see when every now and then the real david came through literally that role was made for him
Same. I saw this way back and came back to watch again after Good Omens. What an amazing portrayal. I can't get enough of it.
@@johncamplin1159 Yes!!
Same
It's so much fun. I loved it. Not got Amazon but a friend does so I binge watched the lot one after the other... well worth it...
I had to go back and watch this because I just saw the backstage video when he and Olivia were presenting an award at this awards show - and the recipient didn't come up to get it because she was stuck in traffic! I loved the "I'm so glad I didn't get stuck in traffic" reaction before, but that knowledge makes it even more hilarious!
Lovely man!
This man deserves this award a thousand times again and again
I adored Christopher Eccleston's Doctor and wanted so much more... so when this new guy (who I'd never seen before in anything ever) turned up, I was determined not to like him... But then in that first episode, when he said, "It... is... DEFENDED."... I began to doubt my resolve. Then David proceeded, over the next few years, to give me the very best incarnation of The Doctor that I could have possibly imagined. And him and Donna together... my favourite pair by far.
So yes... Despite my absolute determination not to give him any kind of chance, by God, He... Is... MY DOCTOR.
Oh man, the Christmas Invasion. He literally came swashbuckling in out of the TARDIS, like nothing we'd ever seen before...sparkling with razor wit and Errol Flynn flair, breaking the Sycorax's staff over his knee, quoting the Lion King, and pushing the BIG RED THREATENING BUTTON. He just swept in and took ownership of the whole show. With those enormous, shining eyes and 100-kilowatt smile. Smote, I was.
The feels!!! :(
I was the same. I’d only seen him in one other part and he played a cruel character so well I thought it couldn’t work. I’ve not watched dr who since he left as he was and I my dr.
You pretty much took the words right out of my mouth. I loved Eccleston and still do wish he had stuck around longer another season at least and than Tennant brought in for his 3 seasons. Tennant is my favorite Doctor and Donna is also my favorite companion, Doctor Donna forever!
exactly the same was with me!
Did anyone else notice how much he teared up when the Doctor Who scenes came on
Heart...Melt!❤️❤️
He teared up when his dad was on the screen
Just imagine if David and Michael had been friends in 2015. How much more touching that would have been...
Oh, the amount of gushing praise absolutely COATED in snark...!!!! 😂❤❤
This video is my Roman Empire, I genuinely come back to watch this frequently
Six minute video of colleagues, friends and family singing David's praises and how wonderful he is.
David: takes the trophy, wide-eyed, and looks around for something to say.
David: "...I am so glad I didn't get stuck in traffic."
That's why people like you, man. Never change.
i am almost in tears because this is such a nice thing to say
I can't imagine the feeling of having an entire concert amount of people cheering you and you only for who you are and what you've achieved. Must be amazing.
Just seeing his humble reaction and his wife just being so proud of him. Always makes me smile in joy to the point of happy tears.
It seems clear, this dedication was very emotional for him. His facial expressions seem as though he was between a full smile showing all his teeth and breaking down crying. A sweet moment to witness. Another human being being celebrated, celebrating their achievements.
The genuine shock on his face as it dawned on him. A modest, simple guy loves his work.
You know what they say about actors; there are those who are humble and those waiting to be humbled.
EdDueim
And he's humble. And adorable, but that's another topic for another day.
When he sees his father on the screen, the look on his face crushed me. Had a good cry at that...
I'm pretty sure that it was one of the last interviews his father did before he passed away. When his dad appeared, you saw David's face crumble slightly, but you could tell he felt happy that his father was onscreen, praising his son. Loved it when he said, "But then, as you must realize, I'm his dad." Wonderful way to end a praising compilation of a talented actor and incredible human being.
Me too, and it happened each time he saw his dad too. His dad must be a great father to have that sort of reaction from his son, I love it.
Seen this probably 50 times now. He’ll always be the best modern doctor for me.
Same. His incarnation of the character was what got me into the series & from there Dr Who became a massive part of my childhood.
He is truly gobsmacked he has no idea how good an actor he is or how much people love and respect him. Wonderful humble man😌
He truly is just a lovely person. I’ve actually met him a few times at conventions here in Canada, and he’s ALWAYS got a big genuine smile for everyone and, unlike some actors I could name that do sci-fi cons, he’s extremely genuine and self-effacing and really makes a point of making time for each and every person.
The last time I saw him, he was insanely busy during the photo ops and although I did manage to get in (we were getting some pics of the actors for an auction to raise funds for an animal rescue) there was no time to chat. But he was still so sweet and absolutely fabulous about it all, so I got the shots and meandered off.
End of the day rolls around and I was getting everything ready to go (we had a booth that year). Now, keep in mind, this man had been there ALL day, doing meet & greets, photos, autographs, you name it, and I know for a fact that he’d only just flown in the day before for that event. I myself was absolutely exhausted, and as I was walking to my vehicle I heard a shout behind me. It was (I think?) his assistant & she told me he’d seen me leaving but just was wondering if I had time for a quick chat to better fill him in on our auction. Well, of COURSE I went with her lol, and David was genuinely curious about what and how our rescue worked, and truly did want to learn more about it & how we did things (we foster all the animals out to approved foster homes as it’s much better for all the adoptees mentally and physically than being in a shelter) and then asked if there was any way he could help more. (HE actually apologized to ME about interrupting my leaving to go home, LOL!).
We chatted for about 30 mins, then went our separate ways. Now, I can’t say with certainty that it was David for sure, but I do know that a few days later we received one of the biggest anonymous donations we’ve EVER received. Would not at all surprise me to learn it was indeed from him. 🥰
Truly just an all around wonderful person. So glad he received this award ❤️
Oh my word! You are so lucky!
I didn't think it was possible, but now I love him even more ... 😄
Very well, I think I love this man even more. Lucky you!
Btw, keep doing what you do for our lovely furry friends!
Sounds like the only thing that could have made this better was if John Barrowman had been there as well. Or was he? Because I think he might have come with David.
Thanks for sharing your story!
Aw, watching his face made me tear up... so beautiful.
Me too.
Exactly!
Especially when his dad started talking about him. Loved it when he said, "But then, as you must realize, I'm his dad." Now, his father may be gone, but in the end, he was proud of David. As we all are.
His reactions were priceless.
ME TOO, my friend!
