Sir Terry Pratchett , author of the Discworld series of fantasy novels, named David Tennant as the best Doctor ever.
Terry made the statement during a US promotional tour for
his new novel Dodger . During his
conversation with PA Rob Wilkins at Barnes & Noble, Union Square, New York,
they said:
Rob: David
Tennant could play anyone. He could play Moist von Lipwig.
Terry: I was there for the first episode
of Doctor Who. The thing about Doctor Who, if you are a real Doctor Who
fan, you might know that when the BBC put it out, not many people watched the
first episode, but those that did were telling people about it. So, on the next
Saturday, they repeated the first one so that people could see what it was all
about. Just a piece of trivia, but there it is, because I was there, hiding
behind the settee.
Rob: William
Hartnell was no David Tennant, though, I’m sorry.
Terry: No, but David Tennant is a
definite David Tennant. He is the best Doctor Who of ever because he is an actor.
The best of them are…funny, the modern ones are just bloody clowns. A bit like
you [Rob], but nevermind.
Rob: That’s okay. I’ll audition for the
part.
Terry: Ha!
