After much ado indeed, I finally got to watch the recent production of Much Ado About Nothing starring Catherine Tate and David Tennant. You can view my Twitter feed for my live tweeting if you want the full report, but the gist of it is this:
Methinks it’s too low for a high praise and too little for a great praise. There were a lot of good bits, but in the end…I did not like it.
It’s worth watching if you love Tennant and Tate, or even if you just love Tennant, or if you really love Much Ado and want to see an interesting (if not perhaps inspired) production. Just maybe have a friend and a drink handy when you do it.
I am morally opposed to reblogging my own stuff to show people’s responses, but this gif needed to be here. MOAR DAVINA GIFS PLZ.
I have now seen the episode of Rab C. Nesbitt where David Tennant plays a transgender barmaid. It was amazing: I laughed, I cried, I fell over.
I made an NTSC copy so I can watch it again without renting a PAL player with a $200 deposit. Thinking of making the viewing party I had tonight an annual event. We could even have a drinking game!
1. Drink whenever Davina tosses her hair.
2. Drink whenever Davina bends over for an unnecessarily long time.
3. Drink whenever Mr. Freel bad-touches someone.
4. Drink whenever you can actually understand what they’re saying.
“We need to know if we’re perverts or just decent, honest-to-goodness sexist bastards!”
Turns out my local badass indie video store, Scarecrow Video, has a single Rab C. Nesbitt tape for rent…which just so happens to include this very episode.
Someone please tell me what movie or TV show this gif comes from, so I can never ever watch it. Just watching the gif makes me feel like I just saw a baby bird get hit by a car.
When David Tennant cries, the universe exists solely of suffering and the unbearable emptiness of heartache.
When David Tennant cries, he cries ALL the cries.
Can’t not reblog this.
Sorry, Andrea. But surely anyone can appreciate a gif of an adorable, bespectacled man waving hello.

Ah…the photo that launched a thousand fanfics.
Mmm, yes. David Tennant, I approve of the scruff. It makes you look a lot less like my ex-boyfriend, while still maintaining normal hotness levels. I approve.
It would appear that David Tennant organized a cast-and-crew-wide several-season-long tribute to his favorite band. It may, in fact, be the cutest goddamn thing ever.
I’m with 76totterslane, though: it just makes me miss the Tenth.
This makes me so happy. Two of my favorite Englishmen.
EDIT: Ack ack ack. David Tennant is Scottish. BritainFail.
