THIS people is what it means to be a proto-Davidologist in the big wide world of David Tennant! My friend IRL @atennantcytoact.bsky.social has some incredible reveals coming up. We are living in the best times and I'm here for it 👏 👏 👏
Lucky Number 13! Thank you @jamiebgall.co.uk for your dedication to Proud Science, Doctor Who style 🏳️🌈 🔭
I posted this last month as I fell totally in love with the unearthing of this back-and-forth Doctor Who POV between David Tennant and Elisabeth Sladen. Having just read of the passing of Anthony Head, it leaves you more appreciative of moments captured like this. 🥹 💙 💙
To keep all things music balanced and fair with David Tennant, here's my previously compiled tracklist of Michael Sheen's Desert Island Discs appearance from 2025. Bonus points if you spot some of the shared artists between the two!
🚨 On June 14, The Committee for the First Amendment will be hosting Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment. Plus it will be streamed w/watch parties all across the country. Wherever you are, you can sing along, find inspiration, build community, and take meaningful action together.
Of course I'm going to recreate a YouTube music playlist from the David Tennant-centered Sounds of the '80s w/Gary Davies BBC radio show. Have a go at some of the obvs - Madonna, The Proclaimers, Style Council, Ultravox - and some surprising outliers as well.
🚨 As your Michael Sheen historian, I direct your attention to our... erm, his BFF David Tennant and watch this teaser for Quality Control, as the premiere comes this Saturday from my colleague and FIRL @atennantcytoact.bsky.social
You’ll recognize a pair of trainers, I guarantee it 😉
