Catherine Tate Interviews David Tennant

Comedian Catherine Tate chats to Scottish actor David Tennant in this 2008 interview taken from BBC Radio's 'Chain Reaction'.

[@grandmatildyfromtennessee4605]

this is a WONDERFUL interview, thank you very much for uploading it. David Tennant has an incredible voice, I've only ever come across one other person who can inflect their voice and convey anything they want like that and I think David does it a lot in this interview. and the bloke's funny!

[@soggyfritter]

I can HEAR them smiling at each other

[@lalida6432]

I love her, she’s hilarious. I met her at a Con once. She took a picture with me. Couldn’t have been nicer.

[@jennynott3841]

I’m soo jealous wish I could meet her as well

[@wumbothewombat1280]

I love this interview, it’s just endless tangents and the wonderful chaos that is Tennant and Tate’s friendship 😂 Favorite bit is David going into an increasingly furious rant about astrology for about a minute straight, only for Catherine to quietly counter with a “…so David’s an Aries.”

[@hothotheat3000]

“OOOOH YEAH!” “THANK YOU!!!!!!!” That reaction when he remembered the play🤪

[@alyzu4755]

Right?!?!? 😂😍

[@huxley8671]

You know you're amazing when you're able to make David audibly laugh numerous times.

[@beckmannm]

The sound he makes at 17:28 as he bursts in to delighted hysterics is incredible!!!😂

[@stratovolcano7813]

I love the way these two talk to each other lmfao they’re so fun

[@rhyfeddu]

I'm realizing there's not a huge leap from Catherine to Donna. 😆

[@soggyfritter]

I would love to drink a bottle of wine with Catherine Tate. She is just pants peeingly funny.

[@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars]

I seriously could listen to these two forever! The chemistry is on fire! I have to admit however, I was VERY dubious about her going into Doctor Who but boy was I wrong! I'm delighted to say Donna Noble is without question my favourite companion of the modern era! Their time together in the Tardis marks the high point in my opinion.

[@mandyireson5101]

I was totally the same! When the Runaway Bride came on, I thought uh uhhhhh.....noooooo. Then came along Martha. When Donna reappeared in that first episode I totally fell in love with her. My heart broke at the end of her story. And after getting to meet her several tmes at comic cons, I can confirm she is the most wonderful, warm, and caring person I have ever met. The first time I met her was at a ( I think her first or second con ever) and mentioned she should come to a comic con closer to where I live and she exclaimed "oh I'm going there". Six months later she shows up at my closer comic con and my bff and myself walked in to get a photo op with her and she shouted "oh, it's YOU" as she hugged me and the photographer got annoyed and hurried us up. Probably one of the best moments of my life...Catherine Tate remembered me.

[@treefrog101]

I didn't know Tate before DW but I was SO not interested in Donna at first... ...and now she is my favorite companion.

[@michaelceraaaaa]

I love their dynamic and their chemistry so much. they are so funny and so charismatic together. Ugh I love Catherine Tate and David Tennant together so much

[@l33tspaniard]

Fucking hysterical she jokes about playing Lauren at 50 and she just did that zoom skit with David not three years ago 😂

[@kebert2thumbsup]

I wish there was video footage with this too

[@tarinfarhana6574]

This is my comfort video/audio 😅 I love them ❤

[@stacyroth6951]

This was delightful! It is so delicious to listen to two marvelously talented actors who really click with each other. Really looking forward to the 60th anniversary special of Doctor Who that will reunite them again. Thank you so much for uploading this.

[@SarahForeshadow13]

the sheer chaos at the beginning

[@lisazemke7446]

I wish this was video. I would love to see David's reactions.

[@sgrannie9938]

My favourite duo ever ❤

[@marzettik]

This interview was a woot! 😂❤

[@mustafabeer1791]

Doctor Donna! 🤩

[@Blue-eyedgal]

Doctor doctor Donna

[@Aniram789]

Great interview! They're so funny together 😂

[@chrisandersen5635]

Delightful ridiculous fun, and to think they’re coming back for more entertaining indignity. Yes please. Oh joy!!!!

[@nyumbaniTZ]

Evie, you're as lovely as your channel. Thank you for taking the time to upload these for us (the smart ones who appreciate it) :)

[@SnowyMary]

oh, this brought me SO much joy to listen to

[@ladyflimflam]

These two!

[@jfess1911]

I thought that Catherine was one of the best Doctor Who companions. It is odd that they did not talk about that.

[@serixskylark]

This was before she joined on as he third companion. They’d only filmed the runaway bride together before this, I believe, so her being his next companion was probably a secret.

[@user-jl8yn7og7b]

They recorded this when they both knew that she was coming back, but it hadn't been released to the public. If you haven't read The Writer's Tale, I highly recommend it, it has so many behind the scenes details like that, all about the making of series 4.

[@MazzJ77]

Thank you!

[@patiencemccarthy6723]

Smash. Both of them. smash smash smash

[@ACANTHASTER7]

I love them!!!!!!!

[@michellemunn7959]

These two qere by fsr the best part of doctor who for me!!!!

[@graziemille2454]

Oh Donna…he is not the 10th Doctor Who…he is the 10th Doctor…lol. This tape is vintage. Would have been great to seen a video. DT is brilliant in this interview.

[@emmyyang4339]

Honestly it’s fine either way. Peter calls himself Doctor Who. Every Doctor was called Doctor Who before David.

[@graziemille2454]

@@emmyyang4339 I was just being funny. There are old funny videos of Catherine Tate saying to David Tennant and others that she thought his name was Doctor Who, and David correcting her. And that she thought the Daleks were robots, not realizing there were people inside. She admits she did not watch Doctor Who. It is all good natured, as was my comment. I truly enjoy DW but keep it in perspective. Thanks and cheers!

[@supremeoverlorde2109]

Funny how he said back then that he thought he was just having an "excursion" into TV lol. He's done so much now.

[@nopenotmeunuh]

As an American, it's kind of nice to know that being a Doctor Who fan wasn't cool in the UK either back in the day. 😅

[@HotSpace23]

[@linshanhsiang]

Ho ho David Tennant has a beautiful horoscope, grand trine in fire. Leo rising, the sign of the actor. So take that Mr. "astrology is crap"! Most stuff you see about it IS crap but the people I've known really well, their horoscopes fit them like a glove.

[@01June1962]

14:53 lol moment... CT has never seen any of the Star Wars movies... DT says the first three were fab lol

[@sligobhoy8152]

Video quality is crap. Just hung up, audio only.

[@michaelr3578]

"Do you fancy Billy Piper?"

[@helmutrosendal]

why is there no video

[@jaynesmith8509]

Because it was on the radio

[@LinkInBi00]

[@camillechauve1352]

At fifty they did a sketch together with her as Lauren!

[@kleerude]

Catherine’s such a bully. I love her so much 😭

[@QuakerLady]

Never once mentioned DoctorDonna.

[@carolineskipper6976]

Because this was taped before Catherine joined The Doctor as a companion. It was after she appeared as the Runaway Bride, but it had not yet been anounced that she was returing. (David and Catherine apparently went out for dinner after this recording to talk about the fact that she was rejoining the show)

[@ruthalber4658]

David Tennant well I don't understand a word with Catherine Tate is saying and that's her first excuse me most of the time Davidson I don't understand a word you're saying so if you don't understand Catherine take and I don't understand Catherine Tate you and me are both screwed Sonic Sonic screwdriver screwed and I'm not talking like having a 7-Up orange juice cocktail smoothies but screwed I'm talking for both lost and translation screwed
