In a recent episode of the popular talk show, The Graham Norton Show, host David Tennant had viewers in stitches as he reminisced about his early acting days and shared some hilarious stories from his time on the set of Doctor Who. The episode, which aired on an unspecified date, proved to be one of the best of the series, showcasing Tennant’s witty banter and undeniable charm.
During the interview, Tennant fondly recalled his first acting role, which happened to be in an anti-smoking film for the Glasgow Health Board. He humorously admitted to never having seen the film himself, expressing a slight fear that the footage may still exist. Despite the potential embarrassment, Tennant was a good sport and even suggested watching it together with the audience.
As the interview continued, Tennant discussed his iconic role as the Doctor in Doctor Who. He revealed that while it is a fantastic job, it comes with a considerable responsibility due to the passionate fans of the series. When asked if his character, the Doctor, would get married, Tennant coyly avoided spoiling any plot details.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when the topic of flatulence came up. Tennant, along with his Doctor Who co-star John Barrowman, amusedly revealed their shared habit of “letting rip” in the TARDIS (the Doctor’s time-traveling spacecraft). They even claimed to compete with each other in this unusual activity. Tennant affectionately referred to it as an exorcism before creativity, jokingly adding that it’s best if one doesn’t follow through.
The interview also delved into the personal lives of the guests. Comedian Michael McIntyre and actress Robbie Williams shared amusing anecdotes, with McIntyre recounting embarrassing moments involving underpants and bodily functions, and Williams mentioning a Welsh comedic warm-up he invented.
The episode concluded with a humorous segment outside the studio, where a speaker was placed on London’s South Bank, playing soundbites from the show. The playful banter between the guests perfectly encapsulated the lighthearted and entertaining nature of The Graham Norton Show.
While the air date of this memorable episode was not specified, it is undoubtedly one that fans of the chat show and celebrity interviews will remember fondly. Tennant’s charisma and wit, combined with the hilarious stories and easy chemistry among the guests, made for an entertaining and lively conversation that had viewers laughing throughout.
