David Tennant: 'I didn't have story input'

David Tennant has said that he never offered his input into Doctor Who stories because Russell T. Davies did not need it.

The star told BBC Newsbeat that he was not tempted to give advice on which characters would return for his final episodes or what might happen in them.

Tennant said: "I've never done that to be honest, because it's Russell and because Russell T. Davies is sort of the best writer in television.

"Because Russell's writing it it would be foolish of me to start telling him what to do. Maybe if he ran out of inspiration or something, but wait until you see these final stories. They're just incredible."

Of his continuing promotional duties, he added: "This show gets so much attention and elicits so much enthusiasm from so many people that it lives with you every day really, even when you're off doing other things as I have been.

"Doctor Who is everywhere and you're constantly reminded of it and that's lovely."
