David Tennant Stole My Entertainment..
Now, I know that one of the seven deadly sins of the 20six community, possibly the most deadly of all is criticising David Tennant. However, as most of the main defenders of the Tennant aren't around these parts so much, I'm going to take my chances. Now, I have nothing against Mr Tennant per se, I mean, he seems to be an affable chap, and he was quite amusing on Graham Norton, however, today he has crossed me.
You see, right now in Georgetown, Guyana, the English cricket team are taking on the Irish cricket team, a bit of a derby by all intents and purposes, and I expected to spend my afternoon with the game on BBCi, I'd get commentary from the TMS team and all kinds of graphics to help keep up with the action, it's been the plan for today ever since the fixture was announced. So, dear reader, imagine my uncontrollable wrath upon switching on BBCi to see not the familiar green screen and the scoreboard ticking over, but instead to see David Tennant liquidating aliens, or whatever he does in his spare time. At first I had thought that the grotesque creatures before me were just Ireland's traveling support, however when David Tennant popped up with the pretty assistant girl on the next frame I soon realised that the England match had been down graded and replaced by a loop of trailers for the new series of Doctor Who! So, all this week there has been cricket on BBCi, I've had Sri Lanka on, South Africa, Australia, The West Indies, it's been, in short, a veritable feast of Cricket, and then come the game I actually want to put on, I'm denied by some chronologically confused Scots chap. Forgive me for suggesting it, but I really wish he'd never even been made Doctor Who, in fact I wish Doctor Who had never been made. If it means they're not going to have the Cricket on, it would clearly be better for us all if he had never been born, never mind jumped in the tardis... |

Huw / Website (30.3.07 15:19) Yeah, and isn't he the singer with the Pet Shop Boys as well...?! (Sorry, no TV...) |
|
Huw / Website (30.3.07 15:25) PS. If you can't see the pictures I heartily recommend a combination of TMS on-line with the TMS Live text commentary on the website! (also works wonderfully with Die Zauberflote playing in the background...) |
|
amillionpieces / Website (30.3.07 15:32) Indeed, Huwie, he is moonlighting! (and will put it on ta!) |
|
pog (30.3.07 15:48) Nah - the match would only upset you and put your blood pressure up, amp. Ahem. |
|
Boso / Website (30.3.07 16:04) Excuse me sir, but he's not called 'Doctor Who'. He's called 'The Doctor'. 'Doctor Who?' is just what people say when they're talking about him. |
|
amillionpieces / Website (30.3.07 16:14) Pog, and of course, you have no personal preference for David to be on instead? Boso, he's called "Pain-in-the-butt-whos-on-instead-of-cricket", didn't you know? :P |
|
Katja / Website (30.3.07 16:18) It's about time something took preference over bloody sport :P I'm sick of my regular programmes getting bumped in favour of ten pin bowling and the like every summer. And don't you go resting easy, thinking that the Tennant fanclub can't hear you. They're only a short hop and a skip away, y'know ... |
|
Boso / Website (30.3.07 16:25) The Doctor saves us all from aliens and other nasties, and all you can do is moan about cricket. You have no respect sir. |
|
amillionpieces / Website (30.3.07 16:28) Katja, yes, but this is already only on interactive, now it's not on at all! s'not fair! And I fear not the tennant fan club, oh no! (but they can't hear me, right?) Boso, I'd rather have the cricket and take my chances with the aliens. I have a ray gun anyway

Oink (30.3.07 16:36) LOVE HIM LOVE HIM LOVE HIM LOVE HIM!! If you don't want him, the fan club will have him! |
|
amillionpieces / Website (30.3.07 16:39) The fan club is more than welcome to him! He was in the good books after making me laugh on Norton last night, but this has just ruined it!
|
|
Oink (30.3.07 16:40) Can you send him with his Paddington Bear satchel on the train to London? |
|
amillionpieces / Website (30.3.07 16:42) Yes, do you wish him to suggest he has came from Peru? |
|
Oink (30.3.07 16:44) He can come from wherever he wants. As long as he comes to see me. |
|
amillionpieces / Website (30.3.07 16:47) What would Big Boy say? Tsk! |
|
Oink (30.3.07 16:54) He'd say 'go for it, Big Girl! It's a once in a lifetime opportunity'. I'd like to think... |
|
amillionpieces / Website (30.3.07 16:55) I don't want to disillusion you, but you should probably agree on it and laminate it on a piece of card, in case!
|
|
Oink (30.3.07 17:05) I'll find the laminator - you send the Tennant. |
|
Chintzy / Website (30.3.07 17:21) A POX ON THEE, BIRTHDAY BOY. |
|
fabulous / Website (30.3.07 17:21) *droooool* Have no idea what your post says i was wiping up my drool seeing davey. mmm |
|
fabulous / Website (30.3.07 17:22) Oh crap he has made you cross. Oh well he is still yummy. |
|
amillionpieces / Website (30.3.07 17:27) Oink, it's a deal, he's on his way... Chintzy, pah, your Pox doesn't scare me :P Fab, hehe, yes, I thought I had best put a pic in to make you all less angry and more drooly

Arty / Website (31.3.07 00:31) Yes I happened to watch that episode of Doctor Who tonight. I wonder if for the cricket they share any local info on Georgetown. |
|
pinkJB / Website (1.4.07 11:51) DR Who made me late for a night out becasue the Boy HAD to watch it so i'm with you |
|
amillionpieces / Website (1.4.07 21:51) Arty, they did make some comments about its geographical situation but I didn't catch all of them, I'm afraid! Pinky, yes! You and I, we shall revolt against the good doctor! |
|
Bobble / Website (13.4.07 19:43) We can still here you y'know. TTFC have super human hearing. |
|
Bobble / Website (13.4.07 19:44) or even hear *gah* |
|
amillionpieces / Website (14.4.07 15:56) Bobble! Good to see you, um, nothing doing here, no nothing at all, we were just admiring Mr Tennant, no criticism at all! |
|
Tennant owns (16.4.07 15:56) OMG David Tennant owns hes well fit!!! |
|
Tennant owns (16.4.07 16:02) Hey, wheres TTFC?? *drools over Tennant* |
|
amillionpieces / Website (17.4.07 16:01) TTFC's location is a close and jealously guarded secret by his fans, they told me, but threatened to do things with a pair of scissors that no man should suffer if I ever reveal it! |
|
(6.10.07 23:45) Well, it's not as if it's HIS fault, he's just an actor, he has nothing to do with managing the BBC, so if you want someone to take it out on, write a letter to the beeb XP |
|
amillionpieces / Website (7.10.07 14:26) Yes, you could look at it like that, but you could also think that if DT didn't exist then he could never have been on tele when I wanted to see Cricket.
|
|
The Doc (28.10.07 09:30) Yeeeewwww! Who ever posted a comment on the 7th of October is a legend!!! However-maybe not so seeing as you would rather watch CRICKET than the absolutely thrilling, amazing, superb, fantastic DOCTOR WHO!!!!!! Doctor Who is THE BEST! Yet I can understand that ur mad about the cricket being scheduled and not being on-that was wrong of the BBC. |
