Behind the Scenes of Blink - Part Four Excerpt from Nick Griffiths’ Radio Times interview with David
Behind the Scenes of Blink - Part Four Excerpt from Nick Griffiths’ Radio Times interview with David Tennant on Series 3:Radio Times: What, then, is the hardest part of being the Doctor?David Tennant: That’s quite a hard question. This year’s been harder generally because we’ve done more nights and more odd hours and slightly further afield locations, just because the scripts have been more ambitious. The show keeps pushing itself and Russell keeps pushing what’s achievable. And we’ve been away on location: down to Wells in Somerset, the Globe, Warwick…How do you fill time between scenes?There are usually more lines to learn, new scripts arriving, or people like yourself to speak to. The time tends to get filled up.How do you manage the day-to-day stuff like shopping and bills?That’s the stuff that I find problematic. It’s the answer to your question about the hardest part of the job: keeping normal life going, remembering which bill hasn’t been paid.When did you last go out and by a CD?The internet’s useful for that, I find. I do tend to get my CDs and DVDs via the internet. There’s a little spot just outside the men’s loos, just at the back of the studios here, where the wireless internet comes down from the office upstairs, so I spend about four weeks prior to Christmas crouched outside the gents’ toilets with my laptop, trying to get into various shopping websites, making sure I had something to take home to the family.
