Okay, I'm probably going crazy with this idea, but what do you think: Week of the 10th Doctor

Each day of this week starting tomorrow, we do something related to the 10th Doctor. Like, Monday we could watch our favorite episode with the 10th Doctor in it. And Friday we say "Happy Birthday David Tennant" 10 times throughout the day?

If you are interested with this idea, tell me what you guys think we should do each day of this week!

I AM 100% IN!!!!!

AWESOME!!!!!

So, what should we do each day???

Hmmm. Give me a few minutes to ponder. Like ten. I will come up with ideas!!!

Awesome! (10 minutes ;) ) I'll do that too!

Thanks. :) Ten minutes start now!!!

11 minutes. Have you come up with anything?

Okay, here's what I got:

Monday: Talk in a British accent all day
Tuesday: Watch your favorite episode of Doctor Who with David Tennant in it
Wednesday Wear fake glasses all day
Thursday Say "Allons-y" whenever you go somewhere
Friday Say "Happy Birthday David Tennant!" ten times throughout the day every hour starting at 7:00 A.M.

Extra: wear a Doctor Who shirt and carry around a sonic screwdriver

yep :) just posted it. can you post your idea?

Wow. Those are great! I could never top that. You're a genius Julia! Are we doing something for Saturday and Sunday? Because my pitiful genius brain only came up with;
•write a tributary on how the Tenth Doctor changed your life.

I think we should just do it till Friday cuz that's his birthday

thanks! :) yours is not a bad idea, I might have to do that ;)

Maybe since it's his birthday, it can be a combination of the two?

yeah!

Okay great!!!!! But I might not be able to sing happy birthday to him for a couple hours, I'm forbidden to talk. Bit I will totally make the hours up!

Ooo. And if people don't already, everyone should change their profile pic to David Tenannt for at least the week.

Yeah, I was thinking that too.

Doctor Who (2005–2010, 2013)


Doctor Who returned to British screens in 2005, with Christopher Eccleston playing the role of the Ninth Doctor in the first series. Tennant replaced him as of the second series, making his first, brief appearance as the Tenth Doctor in the episode "The Parting of the Ways" (2005) at the end of the regeneration scene, and also appeared in a special 7-minute mini-episode shown as part of the 2005 Children in Need appeal, broadcast on 18 November 2005. He began filming the new series of Doctor Who in late July 2005. His first full-length outing as the Doctor was a 60-minute special, "The Christmas Invasion", first broadcast on Christmas Day 2005. Tennant had been formally offered the role of the Doctor during rehearsals for The Quatermass Experiment. Although the casting was not officially announced until later in April,[20] both castmates and crew became aware of the speculation surrounding Tennant; in the live broadcast Jason Flemyng (Quatermass) changed his first line to Tennant's Dr Briscoe from "Good to have you back Gordon" to "Good to have you back Doctor" as a deliberate reference.[21]

Tennant has expressed enthusiasm about fulfilling his childhood dream. He remarked in a radio interview: "Who wouldn't want to be the Doctor? I've even got my own TARDIS!" In 2006, readers of Doctor Who Magazine voted Tennant "Best Doctor" over perennial favourite Tom Baker.[22] In 2007, Tennant's Doctor was voted the "coolest character on UK television" in a Radio Times survey.[citation needed] When Tennant was cast as Eccleston's successor, he had wanted to use his native Scottish accent and become "the first kilted Doctor" according to an interview in the Daily Star, but writer Russell T Davies did not want the Doctor's accent "touring the regions", so he used Estuary English instead.[23] Tennant was able to use his Scottish accent during his time on the series, however, when the Doctor briefly masquerades as "Dr Jamie McCrimmon" of Edinburgh in Tooth and Claw - a nod to the Second Doctor's companion. He previously had a small role in the BBC's animated Doctor Who webcast Scream of the Shalka. Not originally cast in the production, Tennant happened to be recording a radio play in a neighbouring studio, and when he discovered what was being recorded next door managed to convince the director to give him a small role. This personal enthusiasm for the series had also been expressed by his participation in several audio plays based on the Doctor Who television series which had been produced by Big Finish Productions, although he did not play the Doctor in any of these productions. His first such role was in the Seventh Doctor audio Colditz, where he played a Nazi lieutenant guard at Colditz Castle. In 2004 Tennant played a lead role in the Big Finish audio play series Dalek Empire III.

He played the part of Galanar, a young man who is given an assignment to discover the secrets of the Daleks. In 2005, he starred in UNIT: The Wasting for Big Finish, recreating his role of Brimmicombe-Wood from a Doctor Who Unbound play, Sympathy for the Devil. In both audio productions Tennant worked alongside Nicholas Courtney, who reprised the character of Sir Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. He also played an unnamed Time Lord in another Doctor Who Unbound play Exile. UNIT: The Wasting, was recorded between Tennant getting the role of the Doctor and it being announced. He played the title role in Big Finish's adaptation of Bryan Talbot's The Adventures of Luther Arkwright (2005). In 2006, he recorded abridged audio books of The Stone Rose by Jacqueline Rayner, The Feast of the Drowned by Stephen Cole and The Resurrection Casket by Justin Richards, for BBC Worldwide.[citation needed]

He made his directorial debut on the Doctor Who Confidential episode that accompanies Steven Moffat's episode "Blink", entitled "Do You Remember The First Time?", which aired on 9 June 2007. In 2007, Tennant's Tenth Doctor appeared with Peter Davison's Fifth Doctor in a Doctor Who special for Children in Need, written by Steven Moffat and entitled "Time Crash". He later performed alongside Davison's daughter, Georgia Moffett (as "Jenny") in the 2008 episode "The Doctor's Daughter".

Tennant featured as the Doctor in an animated version of Doctor Who for Totally Doctor Who, The Infinite Quest, which aired on CBBC. He also starred as the Doctor in another animated six-part Doctor Who series, Dreamland.[24] Tennant guest starred as the Doctor in a two-part story in Doctor Who spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures, broadcast in October 2009.[25] Tennant continued to play the Tenth Doctor into the revived programme's fourth series in 2008. However, on 29 October 2008, Tennant announced that he would be stepping down from the role after three full series.[26] He played the Doctor in four special episodes in 2009, before his final episode aired on 1 January 2010. The Daily Mirror reported that Tennant was forbidden from attending Doctor Who fan conventions while playing the role. This was done to avoid the chance that Tennant could accidentally let slip any plot points during filming of the series.[27]

The BBC announced on 30 March 2013 that Tennant and Billie Piper will return to Doctor Who for the 50th anniversary special titled, "The Day of the Doctor" in late 2013, alongside current Doctor Matt Smith and companion Jenna-Louise Coleman (as the Eleventh Doctor and Clara Oswald, respectively).[28] In November 2013 he also appeared in the one-off 50th anniversary comedy homage The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot.[29]

I'm gonna make a cake for David Tennant... A virtual cake, but still a cake...

I found this on wikipedia

Nice!

Oh my gosh. All that information. I will keep it in my heart always.

I'm watching all of his video diaries and reading all of his biographies to get to know him more, because he truly has changed my life, and so I never ever ever ever ever ever forget him

If I ever got to meet him... I would cry tears of joy and hug him and tell him how much he has changed my life and how important he is to me and that he has great hair.

That was so deep Julia. *claps*

*bows* thank you

That was just... I am at a loss for words.

When it comes to expressing my feelings about a person that really matters to me *starts tearing up* (seriously, I am) I really make sure it's known.

That's just beautiful. *hands virtual tissue*

Thanks *takes virtual tissue*

I really have a lot of work to do... You have a serious talent.

Thank you, I've been told that when I write about personal things it turns out really good

I would think!

I would post about my dream with David Tennant/10th Doctor, but I really went into detail and it gets a little weird at some points...

Really? Maybe just change some parts up or cut them out then....

And if you're thinking, like REALLY weird, you're wrong... I just mean I kissed him in the dream that's all.

That's not weird, in my opinion...

okay

it's just that some people would consider it weird and I didn't know if you would or not...

Well, maybe it's just because I am weird, so I don't consider things that are weird, weird. But I'm not saying kissing him is weird!

I know what you mean ;)

Thanks

Sure. ;)

I like all the effort ;) I'm glad I remembered it was his birthday lol xD

Yeah, thanks for telling us about his birthday!

I'm glad you did too! Oh right! I need to go generate a virtual cake!
