"It's quite curious," said Tennant, adding, "Because it's not something I'd ever imagined I would be asked to do, or particularly aspired to do -- it was one of those things that came out the blue. And you think I probably can't say no to this, because it's such a unique thing to be a part of."

"When they asked me back, I thought, 'Really, are you sure?' But, you know, why not?"

Tennant's career in film, television, and radio includes memorable performances in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Good Omens, Broadchurch, and Doctor Who. Most recently, he appeared in the hugely successful television adaptation of Jilly Cooper's Rivals.
