Tennant performs own 'Who' stunts

Doctor Who star David Tennant performed his own stunts for tonight's episode of the show.

The actor rejected plans to bring in a stuntman for scenes which see The Doctor fighting with a huge mechanical claw, vowing to do them himself instead. He wore knee and elbow protectors underneath his clothes so he would not be injured as he was thrown into barrels and over containers.

"I wasn't doubled for any of it because it was throwing yourself around, which I enjoy," Tennant revealed.

The latest story sees The Doctor coming face-to-face with The Ood, who made their first appearance in series two.

David added: "The Ood heads are so squeezable, you just want to bite them."
