finally starting to get tired of David Tennant

Posh Nosh
Two Doctors together... is DT trying to tell us something?  Both episodes are absolutely hilarious, though Mr. Tennant is hardly in them.

Old Street
Very small part:  another short film that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.  DT plays the night manager, and is very funny when the main character hugs him.

The Deputy
i just love nerdy, sarcastic DT!  This show was pretty interesting, slightly West Wing (only slightly though).  i guess this was a pilot that wasn't picked up, which is interesting because in a recent interview DT compared pilots in the UK to the US, and he says in the UK if your pilot isn't picked up it can be career suicide.  i certainly hope that isn't the case if this Rex pilot turns out to be a bomb.

The Traffic Warden
This short film is really good:  no one has any dialogue, really, but there are a lot of ads and newspaper headlines that communicate a running commentary about what's happening in the film.  To be perfectly honest, DT is still a little physically awkward in this, but maybe that was part of the poor guy's charm.  It's actually kind of funny that he's saving goldfish because he's never had a pet before.  i wouldn't mind him breaking a fishbowl that i was holding and kissing me. (;

Desert Island Discs
Interesting, how i know absolutely none of his favorite music.  It sounds as if he is more socialist than i was hoping, based on his first job at a certain theater company (7:84, which has now ceased to be).  He says he's solitary, too, which is funny.  i'm not exactly a party animal myself, i'm only really looking for a couple of good friends and one person to spend the rest of my life with, you know?  It's interesting to hear him actually talking about himself for a change instead of constantly hamming it up.
