Doctor Who | News | 09 October 2006

Who loves what?

Who loves what?David Tennant reveals Who highlights in new DWM.

"What I suppose is eternally fascinating is the emotional side of someone who apparently has no emotional side," David reveals in Doctor Who Magazine.

"The relationship with Rose became, to all intents and purposes, a love story. You learn how malleable the character can be ¼- the show doesn't disappear in a puff of smoke if the Doctor does things that apparently he's never done before.

"It's not the end of the series if he snogs Madame de Pompadour. I'm interested in how we can push that - not necessarily sexually, but in other aspects as well. How can we tweak at the corners of the established myth without pulling it apart?"

David was also asked the 64-million dollar question: would he like to sign up to film a third series?

"It's a funny question, that, isn't it? As soon as I accepted this job, the first question I got asked was, 'How long are you staying?'

"It's difficult to judge, because there's an element of being in a long-running show that's a gamble, because I am 35 now, and if I stayed in this for as long as it was humanly possible, I'd still have to have some kind of a career at the other end of it, so it's judging when is the right moment to go.

"I think I now know how many series I'm going to do, and Russell, Julie, and I have talked about it, and will continue to talk about it, but I think it would be stupid of me to say more than that right now - anything can happen, and everything can change..."

Other highlights of the new DWM include monster maker Neill Gorton explaining the secrets of making Slitheens, Ood and the Abzorbaloff - and offering readers the chance to win a genuine Cyberman helmet! Meanwhile, the Doctor and Rose land on the good ship Lady Godiva - and meet its rather outlandish crew! - in a new comic strip adventure, Interstellar Overdrive.

DWM 375 is published on Thursday 12 October 2006.
