SEEING AND MEETING DAVID TENNANT

On Saturday 17th March 2018, I was lucky enough to get tickets to go see An Audience with David Tennant. My mum one morning in January got up early and stood in a queue hoping to get me tickets and luckily she managed to. I thought I'd just write a post to document the day.

If you know me personally, you will know how much I have loved David Tennant since I was 5. I used to pretend I was his companion and run about the street conquering aliens. As I have grown up, no matter what he has starred in, that being a small part or a vital role I have been there sitting on the couch watching. Mostly everyone has that one person they admire and would love to meet and David Tennant is that one for me.

Last year, there was a time in my life which was really hard for me and all I did was sit and watch David Tennant's episodes in Doctor Who. It's crazy because he has no idea who I am but at the same time he helped me through his acting to find peace and happiness during this time.





On Saturday 17th before going to see David Tennant do his Question and Answer, my mum and I didn't know he was screening his new movie You, Me and Him and he was signing things for many fans and taking some photos. As I didn't know that I didn't think I would get the chance.

However, me and my mum went early and sat about waiting for the time for the Q and A to come and people started to come out from seeing his new film so me and my mum went and stood in the hallway. We were standing to the right of it and I said to my mum "it's a bit crowded here lets move to the side". Lucky I did.

A moment later and I look round and who's coming down the stairs? David Tennant that's who. I was just excited to get to see him so at least I could say that. He took a picture with another fan and then kept on walking. My mum manages to find a space and as he is about to walk down the stairs to go to wherever he needed to go. My mum stopped him and asked if I could get a picture with him and his reply is "Yes, of course".

I am not going to lie, in that moment I freaked out. The moment I had been waiting for, for thirteen years was actually happening. Time seemed so slow in the moment but afterwards it went so fast. I feel so lucky for one of my dreams to have come true.





Afterwards, obviously we still had the Q and A, and it was amazing. He actually seemed so nice and what you see on tv is what you get in person as well. He is honestly hilarious and had everyone laughing every minute of the interview. His sarcasm is so much like mine that I was in stitches. He answered everything from what was it like reading his last line in Doctor Who "I don't want to go" which he replied that he did cry to what is better acting in Britain or America.





Had the time of my life at this event and I hope to go to many more. I especially want to go to an event, David Tennant will be at again. I didn't think I could become a bigger fan of his and until Saturday.
