  • So the cool ones were Michael Sheen, James McAvoy, Stephen Campbell Moore, Fenella Woolgar, Emily Mortimer.
  • They were the cool ones.
  • And then there was me.
  • Hello, I'm David Tennant, and these are my film firsts with Bada.
  • Probably the first film that I remember really getting obsessed with was Star Wars, the original Star Wars.
  • It came out in the seventy seven, so I was six.
  • My Auntie Mary took me.
  • It was a big deal at the time.
  • It was one of those, you know, it became a sort of, you know, Star Wars was
  • a film that wasn't necessarily expected to become the global phenomenon that it did.
  • But I remember it certainly made its way, that sense of phenomenon made its way to Paisley.
  • And we went to see Star Wars and it was extraordinary, mind bending, like nothing I'd ever seen before.
  • And I became very obsessed with Star Wars from that moment on to this day, probably.
  • I do remember, I don't know how old I was, but I remember seeing The Evil Dead, the first The Evil Dead, on a sort of, possibly even a slightly bootlegged VHS somewhere at a friend's house, thinking, this is really cool, we're really watching Forbidden Fruit here, and having nightmares for weeks, weeks.
  • The bit where one of the zombies stabs someone in the leg with a pencil, I think, that's the thing that really haunted me for some reason.
  • The first film I remember going to the cinema to watch would be The Land That Time Forgot, starring Doug McClure.
  • It would have been the mid seventies.
  • I would have been five, maybe six years old, and we were on holiday in Millport on the Isle of Cumbria, and we went to the cinema that they had there, and I was transfixed.
  • I mean, it may not be a film that has
  • particularly punched through the mists of time, but I remember it very clearly.
  • They go through a sort of underground tunnel in a sort of submarine thing and they end up in the land that time forgot, the clues in the title, and they encounter dinosaurs.
  • It's basically Jurassic Park.
  • without quite the budget.
  • When I saw the film again in slightly older years, I realised the dinosaurs were actual lizards with bits stuck on them, filmed in close up.
  • But listen, it worked for me when I was five.
  • I'd recommend it.
  • My first performance was probably in primary school.
  • It was the Town Mouse and the Country Mouse.
  • I played the Country Mouse and there were four performances over a week.
  • No, there were three performances and a dress rehearsal over the week.
  • I was in the B cast, so we did the dress rehearsal and the second night.
  • But the chap who was playing the country mouse in, let's call it the A cast, got sick.
  • So I ended up doing the dress rehearsal and all three nights.
  • It felt like a door opened that day.
  • I ran through it.
  • First time I met Russell T. Davis must have been
  • Probably the read through for Casanova, which was a series he wrote.
  • That would have been in two thousand four, I think we made that.
  • It was a lengthy audition process, but I didn't meet him at any of those moments.
  • I think it was probably when we read through the scripts for the first time.
  • I imagine.
  • If he was even there for that, I can't remember.
  • Russell, do you remember?
  • My first ever audition?
  • I don't know if I do remember my first ever audition, actually.
  • I remember lots of terrible auditions.
  • What would my first ever audition have been?
  • It was probably for an anti smoking film that Glasgow Council were making.
  • I don't remember the audition.
  • I do remember getting the job and playing the sort of, the kind of, I mean, I was fifteen at the time.
  • maybe sixteen, and I played the sort of the bad kid who was smoking behind the bike sheds and trying to enlist others into his terrible ways.
  • I'd never smoked a cigarette in my life and I spent the day trying to avoid having to light it.
  • And if you were able to track down this piece of film, you will see that despite extolling the virtues of smoking to my
  • the other characters in the film.
  • I never actually did it myself.
  • I've always had a mastery over props.
  • That was my first time on a set, yeah.
  • And it was playing the bad kid.
  • I wish I could remember his name.
  • I do remember he wore a black denim jacket, which I managed to take home with me.
  • I mean, I think I was invited to.
  • And wore it for years after.
  • It was about the coolest piece of clothing I have ever owned.
  • And that includes this jumper, so that's saying something.
  • The first film that made me want to act?
  • I don't know.
  • I don't remember a particularly vivid, singular experience when I was young, watching a movie that made me think, oh, that's what I want to do.
  • I remember maybe when I was slightly older, around the time I was at drama school, seeing particular performances that really
  • made me think that's film acting, specifically film acting.
  • There's something about the kind of the specificity of those moments and knowing how to tell a story in close up which some people just have a kind of a way of using the tiniest moment or the tiniest gesture.
  • I always think of there's a moment in Remains of the Day
  • where Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins are having a scene and he plays this very buttoned up sort of butler.
  • It's a magnificent performance because he does virtually nothing throughout the whole film and yet you understand every single moment that he's living through, what the layers of
  • of complexity, the layers of self consciousness, the layers of professionalism, all bound into this extraordinary performance.
  • There's a moment where he just lets Emma Thompson in by releasing his grip on a book.
  • He tells you so much about that character and about where he is in that moment in time and all the sort of torture that he's going through, and it's done with the tiniest of gestures.
  • Moments like that, when you see those moments on film, they are...
  • It's transporting, it just, it tells you, it gives you an access to that particular human being's experience that's so unique and thrilling.
  • First time I was recognized by, I don't, well, the first time I got recognized for being in something, I do remember very vividly, was in Crouch End in London, and I was in a show called Taken Over the Asylum, which was a BBC drama.
  • I went back somewhere in the early nineties and there was a road closed and myself and this bloke realised that to get into Crouch End we had to sort of go through this, over this sort of bridge bit and we sort of together clambered over this thing that we probably weren't meant to clamber over.
  • And halfway around he turned to me and went, are you Campbell Bain?
  • Which was the name of that character on Take Him to the Other Side.
  • And that was the first time I remember it was quite
  • peculiar and quite, not alarming, but I do remember thinking that this is very peculiar, that I'm having this very everyday, very rather pragmatic domestic experience and this man was watching me on the telly last night.
  • It was a bit of an out of body experience.
  • I don't know how interesting that story is, but it's just come back to me in a rush.
  • I wonder where he is now?
  • The first time I met Catherine Tate, I do remember very vividly, it was on the set of Doctor Who, but she was going to do a Christmas special and that was trailered, if you like, by a tiny little moment at the end of the previous series where she appeared in the TARDIS in a wedding dress.
  • But to keep all that a secret, we filmed it after the filming day had finished.
  • Everyone went home and then a tiny little skeleton crew came back after hours and filmed it in an evening.
  • Catherine got kind of smuggled in from a local hotel under a blanket.
  • so that nobody knew she was going to be part of Doctor Who.
  • And we filmed the very end of that previous episode.
  • We spent about an hour just capturing that moment where she shows up in the TARDIS for the first time.
  • That was the first moment Catherine and I had ever met.
  • What?
  • Oh, I get starstruck by people I'm working with all the time.
  • The first time.
  • Hmm.
  • Oh, I don't know.
  • I mean, there have been certain people I've worked with that I've found it very difficult.
  • It's taken me quite a few days to be able to kind of address them as normal human beings because they're someone I've admired or have grown up with.
  • That was certainly the case with Michael Gambon, Maggie Smith.
  • and Billy Connolly.
  • It took me about a week to be able to look Billy Connolly in the eye.
  • Luckily, in all three of those cases, they turn out to be wonderful, glorious human beings who don't disappoint on any level.
  • Michael Gammon, of course, sadly no longer with us, but I got to work with him more than once, and each one was a total thrill.
  • It's very exciting when you meet someone who's been, who you've looked up to, who you've slightly idolized, and they don't disappoint.
  • That's one of the great joys of being in this industry.
  • And every now and again, they do disappoint, but I'm not telling the names of any of them.
  • The first time I met Michael Sheen, it must have been something to do with the film Bright Young Things, which we were both in, and that would have been two thousand and three, something like that, twenty years ago.
  • And Stephen Fry directed that, and there was a little
  • bunch of us that were the Bright Young Things.
  • I was slightly on the periphery because I played a character called Ginger Littlejohn who was not a Bright Young Thing.
  • He was a sort of, although he was of the same peer group, he was a sort of fuddy duddy who wasn't one of the cool ones.
  • So the cool ones were, let me see if I can remember, Michael Sheen, James McAvoy, Stephen Cambermore, Fenella Woolgar, Emily Mortimer.
  • They were the cool ones.
  • And then there was me, who sort of sometimes went along to the kind of rehearsal processes or the hangouts or the getting to know you sessions, and sometimes didn't get invited.
  • So I got to know Michael a bit then, but not that well, because I was not one of the cool kids.
  • It's only in relatively recent years that we've ended up actually working together, because on Bright Young Things we don't share the screen, I don't think.
  • But yes, so I've probably sort of known him for about twenty years.
  • He's very old.
  • I'm still considerably young.
  • First film I ever wanted to show my kids?
  • I don't know that any time I've ever wanted to show my kids a film is it has been the film they wanted to watch.
  • I think one finds that children
  • pretty quickly develop their own preferences and prejudices and desires.
  • I have found that whenever I've tried to go, no come on kids, sit down, this is the one you're going to like, it's of little interest to them.
  • They will find what they want to watch and they do and there are certain films that I have seen many, many, many times because one of the
  • Refrains of childhood would seem to be that when you light on some movie that you like, you like to watch it a lot, a lot, a lot.
  • I've seen the first two Trolls movies a lot.
  • I think I can quote every line from Frozen.
  • Encanto, that was a big one in our house.
  • I mean, luckily, they're all great films that you don't mind watching again and again and again.
  • That's why, for all parents out there, I pray that the movies your children decide to alight on are ones that you can bear to watch because you're gonna watch it a lot.
  • Good luck.
