David Tennant: Davies is "the best"

David Tennant has lauded the quality of scripts on Doctor Who, singling out showrunner Russell T Davies for particular praise.

"The standard of the writing and of the stories is extremely high," the Scottish actor told The Stage. "I might tweak the odd line here or there, but I'd never dream of pointing out to the writers, in that hackneyed phrase, that my character wouldn’t say this or do that. Russell [T Davies] is the best, so why play around with the best?"

Tennant, now starring in a one-off BBC drama called Learners, also addressed his recent accolade of being voted 'Sexiest Man' by readers of The Pink Paper with humility, joking: "I must be the least sexiest man to walk the planet!"
