David Tennant Visits His Parents - Who Do You Think You Are?

[@eringryffin]

I hadn't seen this until now. Seeing that beautiful family welcome, knowing David has lost both of them now is breaking my heart a little too much.

[@helenbryant404]

Yes, I just watched it again after many years, and it made me tear up as well.

[@ktkat1949]

You know what I really love about this man and his family? They are so ordinary. Not a big fancy home with servants, not a lot of garish furniture, no big car, He carries his own suitcase doesn't have a driver etc etc. So lovely and homey. It actually reminds me of my Scottish cousins' home near Edinburgh. The kettle is always on with treats on the table. Sigh. Big difference from US celebs who are always hanging out their with their glitzy lifestyles.

[@TheBluMeeny]

I think there are more "US celebs" like David here, as compared to the big name stars who live those glitzy lifestyles. Those glitzy stars though take up most of the airtime so we see more of it.

[@rakathin]

Kate, 'fancy home' is subjective. In Paisley (where I live) his mum and dad do have a fancy home. Paisley is home to Scotlands third worst ghetto. Even the McDonalds in the city centre closed down. Fun fact, the inside of his parents home is pure Paisley grandparent decorated. Makes me happy.

[@oldschoolm8]

I was thinking exactly the same. He comes across as such a nice, well adjusted, normal man.
