NTA 2015 David Tennant's Special Recognition - His Acceptance

[@KatlynnHahn]

They could not have given that award to a more deserving, talented, lovely actor.

[@donnypark4385]

I whole heartily agree with you!!!

[@ellabailey6707]

I concur

[@researchzoz5366]

mashallah tbark allah alhamdulillah inshallah better astaghfirullah

[@tipamassukdaeng5850]

me too

[@aishakiani909]

John simm and David Tennant are both 2 very special and precious actors alive

[@bibley9771]

3:36 “I’m gonna dedicate this to my dad” his voice when he says dad broke me :(

[@PF-bz4sv]

That's because he was sick and passed away short after this. You can see how emotional he gets when his dad got on the screen.

[@skybeardsmore]

im still sobbing

[@KaregoAt]

Ohh he's so flustered... What a beautiful human being.

[@annamcuthbert3993]

i would be

[@sarah-my1xp]

You totally buy into every character he plays - you know it’s David Tennant but he’s such a versatile actor and an absolute angel

[@OptimusGPrime]

He's an absolute angel, but plays a really good demon lol

[@junbh2]

Every time I watch him play a role I have to readjust the next time I see him in a different role, or see him interviewed, because it's like a completely different person. And he's so good at it that when I'm watching it doesn't really feel like acting so it's a jolt every time I'm reminded how completely unlike that person he really is.

[@ytuser_3122]

I remember being deathly afraid of him as Kilgrave in Jessica Jones after only seeing him in Doctor Who and forgetting he was in Goblet Of Fire

[@mrdaym]

@@OptimusGPrime Well I wouldn't say "good demon". He's a demon yeah, but he's really half-assing his job.

[@Selahsmum]

His performance in Broadchurch was one of the performances of the ages.

[@ankitabostom1606]

Yes yes.. He s so so talented..

[@DeepakDhabhai]

Broadchurch is the show of David and Olivia. Very rare to such chemistry between leads

[@ridmahoq2261]

Ever.

[@monicacall7532]

Bird and Bee Academy Agreed. He was fabulous.

[@wendi2819]

I'm actually watching that at this very minute. Broadchurch and Shetland are my 2 all-time favs, as well as DT and "Jimmy Perez!" ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kenna176]

God, I'm crying. Where can I find one of him?

[@samoyedpups4673]

Just him! 😃

[@Vi-ik8zw]

yes please

[@cinnamongirl1022]

you can’t ☹️

[@ellenmurphy2150]

David is taken, unfortunately.

[@sig7838]

Nowhere else

[@jon8304]

“My family… who make everything possible, but much more importantly make everything worthwhile”. David makes himself easy to love.

[@lizzyhughes2505]

This sounds strange but because my dad worked in London and I didn't see him much, The tenth doctor became my second dad. And this is so special.

[@BuruIgeru]

You know, whoever you are, I hope you meet him someday.

[@arpitamathur9692]

Aw, bless you

[@GaH.Hassan]

I totally hear this. My dad was also always away for work, and the tenth doctor (and Russell T. Davies through his utterly humane writing) taught me so much about being a person, being good to others, and recognising the extraordinary in ordinary people. I credit so much of my love of humanity to that show, I'm so grateful to have had it at such a formative time in my life, glad you had it too

[@Hannah4765]

I had the same; dad worked a lot to give us a decent life and so Christopher Eccleston became mine. Especially because they basically have the same personality but Eccleston is Northern and my dad is Southern

[@alyshajohnston2629]

There is honestly no one else it should have gone to

[@MaddieM52]

My heart melted when he mentioned Georgia and his dad😍😍

[@sombredust]

My heart melted as soon as he opened his mouth

[@iilhares]

I adore Georgia, she's simply amazing - but I can't think of a single reason why she'd be better off in my life than his. DT is a definite keeper.

[@Tabulatelk15]

His Scottish accent is enlightening.

[@samoyedpups4673]

David Tennant: best doctor ever! i'm in middle of watching the tenth doctor and i'll be extremely sad when it's time for him to regenerate!

[@ТраянаХристова-ч5т]

Yes, exactly, trust me you will be

[@phoenixtrite5068]

His outstanding performance can't have made it easier

[@donaldpollock4799]

I don't want to go

[@ryangao4803]

[@saiquatabassum6321]

Okay question. I want to watch doctor who and start with David's season but like I dont know what to search on google to find it. I tried a bunch of different searches but couldnt like get it. Can yall help out?

[@vivi_needssleep]

You can literally hear David Tennant fighting back tears in his speech, especially when he spoke about his dad, I absolutely love this man so much

[@sarahjones6686]

He is the best actor of his generation, if not any generation. What a lovely man.

[@giovannaargon9010]

I do so agree with this comment

[@GooseWinchester]

"I am soo glad I didn't get stuck in traffic"

[@AutieTeleDexBaBrBo]

Talking about poor Sheridan Smith that year.

[@whitman911]

I'd let him in my living room without the telly...

[@longlivethegays]

He made me cry. He actually did. Tears are coming out of my eyes. I love this man.

[@BonesBrigader]

Haha I'm sooooo with you there. And I just started watching this guy in film & television.

[@daftirishmarej1827]

I love the fact that he reflects the whole thing back on to others, when it's him, deservedly, that got the award!!

[@asmrwreath5330]

Is there someone who doesn't fall in love with him after this..?

[@elodie_bnt3377]

Probably a couple of Galeks

[@sebastiancooper7792]

Of course there are- most people fell in love with him BEFORE this!

[@Atom.Storm.]

I'm Scottish so I didn't notice his accent until the comments :)

[@neszi3]

I'm Asian, I don't notice when he changes accent. 😅 Sounds the same. Unless he's gone full 'Takin Over the Asylum' accent. That's some heavy Scottish.

[@rainbowsam2335]

I'm American and I've seen him in so many roles and videos that I don't notice the accent anymore

[@alicemccall628]

Same I'm Scottish too

[@bridgecake3436]

[@Wolf359inc]

I have never met him, but this idea of David Tennant is who I aspire to be - a good man, who is kind, funny and charismatic, with no ego. I aspire to be this. I sometimes succeed. The cynic in me doesn’t often believe in people, especially these days, with so many scandals, but I choose to believe in David Tennant.

[@leighgabriel6824]

David Tennant is a natural treasure and should be protected at all costs.

[@michelle-lz2ug]

Gosh he deserves this award and many more...wow i love him

[@whatevs00]

His and Graham Norton’s awards are just the best. Both get me every time.

[@ellie698]

He's one of our national treasures

[@khloeconlin]

I’m crying 6 years later what an amazing man 🤍

[@bridgetcooney5085]

Fitting musical selection, quintessentially Scottish, and kinda perfect for the doctor, who has walked and ran so many miles.

[@Jessica-ch1yi]

And they played it as his doctor who wrap party :)

[@TwiLove131]

The Proclaimers are his favourite band. The benefit album he sang on last year he covered another one of their songs. I believe it's even more beautifully sung by him than the original even.

[@ohauss]

He's a great fan of theirs and did a video with them where the whole team of Doctor Who - in front and behind the camera - lipsynced to 500 miles. It's somewhere around KZbin.

[@cambo338]

This makes me so happy :O

[@Lalerato]

500 miles playing in the background is a great detail

[@designgirl3556]

I just found the full show! They actually had a singer perform it with the proclaimers right before they announced that David was getting the award. They basically said it was a clue!

[@ellenscheer9370]

Absolutely love him... He's just amazing!!!

[@abiegan3314]

I love him so much! He is so talented and wonderful!

[@debbiep99]

[@ellenmurphy2150]

David is just so sweet and so nice! Now he's got to teach classes in how to be a decent human being to the 99% of the other celebrities who aren't.

[@BarbaraPolt]

I‘ve seen this so many times. Seeing him being pronounced and this speech is even more heartbreaking now that his father has passed 😭

[@sleepyhead_angel9525]

Won an award and only thought to thank everyone else, we don’t deserve him

[@iMattDaPrattx]

Best Dr Who ever.

[@kit8342]

Doctor

[@Daniel-hf3oz]

@@kit8342 Who?

[@Belnick6666]

just re watched jessica jones season 1 before i watched this reaction+acceptance :p ofc he is the best doctor, the 10th, but it felt weird as he looked just like Kilgrave being accepted :P , was this award show during the filming of Jessica Jones?

[@mickley96]

No it wasn't

[@misskitty285]

I'd guess just after. JJ started in November 2015, the awards ceremony was in January - and he would also have had to do some promo for Broadchurch 2 which started in January 2015. Or maybe just before. Filming takes a while, but with most of these American shows that last more or less the whole year (say Arrow &Co.) they usually film until well after the show started - and Killgrave was a fairly big part. He was mostly on his own, though, if I remember correctly, so it may have been quicker. I've been an extra on a few things, and once the Assistant Directors said they'd be lucky to get 5 minutes of material in 8-10 hours of filming - now, it obviously depends on how long the scenes are and how many people are in them (not to mention stunts, animals and special/visual effects). So you can imagine how long it takes to finish anything.

[@caia-moon]

The voice wobble when he dedicates it to his dad made me cry 😭

[@leilasalera603]

Such a lovely man. The best Doctor in my book. He was great in Good Omens and his acting in Broadchurch was absolutely amazing! Versatility at its finest 😊

[@laurajellybean3610]

i was waiting for for him to thank billie piper 😭💔

[@Jim_The_Fish]

Laura JellyBean I was waiting for Catherine Tate

[@samoyedpups4673]

And Freema Agyeman

[@livb6945]

But it's a real drag when people start listing everyone they ever worked with, and he realises that. He surely talked to them afterwards

[@J3ennife4]

He’s just the loveliest human being 😭❤️

[@s0faRy]

David, you are so great man! Sweet hello from Russia! Thanks for your work!

[@Lifeinthe808]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......when the hell will he receive his BAFTA? What is wrong with these people who vote?

[@monicacall7532]

Simply the best! Shakespeare to serial killers. Tenant does it all.

[@Vidyut_Gore]

I wish there were more like him. What an inspiration. What a wonderful person. It is rare for me to get this thrilled and emotional over someone getting an award, but I feel rewarded when I see this.

[@wrennewman6868]

David is that nice that Nice in real life. ❤❤
