[@toptaemin1278]

I'm so lucky that I was born in David Tennant & Matt Smith's era.

[@haiderr]

Same :) 2005 boi here.

[@candycandy319]

I like how how you get to see David twice ;)) his own nomination video and Catherine's nomination video XD

[@TheStephrules]

the guard on the left is trying not to laugh when david says "you'll be wheeling me out of the TARDIS in my bath chair"

[@TheGallifreyGal]

I love David to pieces, but at the same time Matt is brilliant!! But watching this made me break down in tears, you could tell by how people were reacting in the background how much everyone loves David as the Doctor. :'(

[@destielswizzle3655]

i saw this in my recommended and i FREAKED but then i realized that this was from ten years ago and he already left so that was one emotional rollercoaster

[@AnupapayaPoopy]

Great way to break the news. so he can escape all the initial shock/anger/frustration/doomsday reactions of the fans.

[@montypython203]

This is the third time I've seen/read this, and the third time I've cried because of it. I'll miss David soooo much!

[@DarkestHeart266]

"you'll be wheeling me out of the TARDIS in my bath chair" Guy on the left - hehehe

[@ArthurTheHorseBOOM]

Ugh David and Catherine are just TOO adorable =)

[@silvalefe391]

David Tennant: Don't make me cry! Audience: WHY NOT YOU DID IT TO US But he's coming back for the 50th anniversary special, all the Doctors are :D

[@wrengard]

The entire audience were like NOOOOO!!!

[@clara2768]

I love watching these two!!! They play off each other so well, and they have so much appreciation for each other. best mates forever!

[@andrewmwells9606]

Me too and I'm so glad, so glad they're returning along with Wilf!! 😆😆😆

[@Claire6400]

Wow, I cant believe this was a year ago today *sobs* :'(

[@TheJackross6]

Even thought he no long plays the time lord, when he said this, i bet millions of kids hearts must have been torn apart. As a doctor who fan, i felt this. But i said to myself, matt smith has some really big shoes to fill and if im honest, hes not doing too bad a job of it

[@cybersunday07]

i am, i am definatly watching it, i mean with the return of gallifrey and the whole new doctor, its gonna be awesome. plus, none of you knew who tennant was when he took the role, he was just a guy who was in harry potter 4, but now he's the doctor. smith will soon be known as the guy everyone underestimated for 10 months, then he come into the show and onto the screens with a huge bang and in 7 years when he leaves, you will all say the same thing about the next one.

[@silvalefe391]

For the last time they are all coming back for a making-of episode, An Adventure In Time and Space. It's not real doctor who, but they are sort of coming back. As for the actual episode, I didn't know anyone was coming back!!! Wow!!! :D thanks for the information

[@subhadipbhattacharjee7691]

best doctor ever david tenant

[@scamrasc]

well that was an inventive way of accepting an award...

[@pieroristhp3507]

Am I the only one that the last part reminds him the family of blood when John Smith knew what is going to happened but he accepted it and meet his fate??

[@oliviacomito5332]

I think those guards were to protect him from fangirls.

[@zylder]

David was my Favorite

[@tardiskeeper6]

I didn't realise how tall Russel is

[@milliebower1724]

good news he's coming back for 50th anniversary with rose wooopeeeeee

[@awells051190]

How the fuck can't this be viewed in this country. It was fucking made filmed and shown in this country!!

[@xfileskid]

I hate it when he says, "its not the end yet, I have 2009 still to get thorugh..." because now it is over,. and he has regenerated :( NOOOOOO

[@CrazyGood88]

@cybersunday07 I actually went through some of Matt Smith's Repetoire when I found out he was to be the Doctor, and I must say, after watching him I am definitely looking forward to spring coming so I can see him as the Doctor as well. Love Eccleston, Love David, definitely looking forward to Matt and forever Doctor Who.

[@SilmeBetty]

I can't do anything just cry...

[@cybersunday07]

Actually, no. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 aren't. 4 (Baker) and 10 (Tennant) are. At least from the script I read, 4, 10 and 11 have to deal with something called a "cataclysmic vortex collapse", which apparently allows multiple doctor's to "intersect" with one another throughout time... and also causes age progression on Tom Baker's part.

[@kendalljones7945]

I was so sad

[@SofijaMitrovic]

or the ninth :( but David is better than all of them combined! exept maybe the 4th.. or 5th.. no....

[@silvalefe391]

They're all coming back for a 'making of' episode, it's called An Adventure in Time and Space. But yes, for the actual episode, it's just 4 and 10 :)

sylar presentando un premio pa doctor who

[@animelover5076]

i not going to watch doctor who after davids left coz it just wont be the same with out him :`(

[@MoonPhantom]

he can regenerate 12 times, so that makes 13 doctors. That is well established continuity. How ever, the master has been known the come back by other means a lot of times, and without any time lords out there to stop the Doctor from gaining more regenerations, what is there to stop the writers?

[@TheGallifreyGal]

When did he say that? If you could tell me, I would really appreciate it!!! :D

[@silvalefe391]

[@Splendora10]

It is so adorable how his first eva nta show the scene day shwdcof him was da 1wen he was sayin bye to rose on bwb n his last is wen he finishes of his sentence from last time ' rose tyler l- love u' sorry I just luv 10 n rose

[@MoonPhantom]

That is a reason to carry on and write more doctors than 13, not to stop -_- Unfortunately that is how TV-business works, so if by the end of the 13 doctor in some 15 years or so, they are still making the same amount of moment, yeas, I have a very hard time believing the TV-studio would give Doctor who up, though, 3 Doctor actors can be a very long time. Perhaps it will just fell like it's time at that time, I don't know.

[@MariaMacedow]

I couldn't say better.

[@TDLBallistic]

He's staying until at least 2014.

[@darkstylezvideo]

@rinrunner101 matt smith is actually a very good doctor, different but still very good. he makes some mistakes with the tardis as the doc but so did christopher eccleston as the doctor when he brought rose home 12 months instead of 12 minutes in season 1 lol.

[@leaderstragg]

Would have been better if he'd have stayed until 2010. (get it? David TENnent is the TENth Doctor and he passed the torch in two thousand and TEN?! ha!) O, for the days when the terror of typecasting will no longer frighten actors into leaving us so soon.

[@Shilara]

no he cant be going...man he got me into all of this!!! :( Sigh

[@MoonPhantom]

Mavdryn undead they specifically states, 12 times 13 files. As they want the 5 doctor to give up 8 regenerations, which would mean his remaining lives. I also vaguely remember Tom Baker rambling something about 12 times a couple of times. Are you sure the time lords aren't just saying 13 life's? not 13 regenerations, there is a difference between life's and regenerations you know.. But if you look at the 05 series, no number has been stated..

[@TDLBallistic]

I knew him because of Casanova.

[@Splendora10]

Evry1 was speechles wen he sed he wasnt cumin bak

[@selkrek]

You've had 5 years in school, how is your spelling going?

[@MoonPhantom]

that dosn't mean he never existed in the point of view of the other doctors. they even keeps saying. "One of us is trapped." It is also stated very specifically in the episode. "Deadly assasain." 12 times. And "Underworld." But as I said, no thing has been stated in the new series, where the writers tends to make new rules for them self, And I think the question of limited regeneration is avoided for very concious and obvious reasons. Of cause he is going to regenerate more than 12 times

[@leaderstragg]

Then do just that, have a good cry for awhile, then you'll have let it all out ans d life can begin anew.

[@killer74798]

he wont or he might

[@RosanneEs]

He won't. Of course he won't! ;)

[@JoshuaMatthewMcDonagh]

@cybersunday07 Thats completely write, i kind of like the new doctor!!!

[@TheGallifreyGal]

I think you deserve to know the truth, most of the Doctor's aren't returning. So David probably won't return :'(

[@TwilightFanatic113]

wonder if he ever did get the award back. lol =D

[@Thomo2207]

Well... not the first three...

[@sweiland75]

No! Don't kill Picard!

[@mcvilone]

pretty sure he will be back as a reregeneration

[@rachelk6628]

well well well

[@killer74798]

[@fentonneal9480]

Deep breath... Hehe

[@LaPauliDice]

Really? This is how it was? Seems like terrible news to be delivered right in the middle of an award ceremony. Yikes.

[@Deathlygunn]

@cybersunday07 I take it you never watched Casanova then? Ps. Matt Smith is brilliant, but let down by awful writing,
