Leave David Tennant alone!!! aka i disagree with the Daily Mail

Ah David Tennant. The man can literally do no wrong in the eyes of the British public. Unless you write for The Daily Mail- if you write for the Daily Mail than your opinion on EVERYONE and EVERYTHING changes every few articles, depending on the public feeling at the time, and how much of an opportunistic ‘let’s purposefully say things we know will antagonise people and make them talk about us more, that’s journalism, right?’ kinda person you are. In the eyes of The Daily Mail the world can do no right.

Let’s not beat about the bush here- DM dissed David. BUT up until this time they had been singing his praises- as had everyone in this fickle country. But now that he’s leaving Doctor Who, and appearing on TV shows to promote Doctor Who suddenly he’s annoying. Suddenly we don’t want to see David Tennant on our screens. ER, WHAT?? NO!!

David Tennant leaving Doctor Who- and I don’t care how sad I come across here- is genuinely devastating for people who love good TV. I’m not saying that the next series (driven by Stephen Moffat with that guy who’s face looks like it’s compiled of the material used to make Stretch Armstrong) is going to be rubbish- but Tennant has been such an amazing Doctor, and is such an incredible actor that I truly believe English telly has lost one of its best resources. The thing that gets me is just how fickle the British Public can be. People say ‘Us Brits love an underdog!’ Er, no, what ‘us Brits’ love is to build a person up ‘til their at their peak and then knock them down!! We revel in love/hate relationships with celebrities and genuine talent, and it bugs me so much!!

But the biggest thing that annoys me about this Article on the Daily Mail site ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1239280/How-Doctor-Who-little-help-Hamlet-took-BBC.html) is this section here;

"Yesterday the BBC came under fire for freezing out young acting talent by giving audiences an overdose of Tennant.
Conservative MP Nigel Evans, who sits on the Culture Media and Sport select committee, said: 'The BBC's public service remit was always about bringing on fresh talent.
'Sadly they seem to have got themselves stuck in the rut of chasing ratings and going populist.
'Relying on such an overkill of one particular person is freezing out a lot of opportunity for a lot of up and coming people.'
He added: 'Even the most dedicated fan might have thought that the BBC was turning into the David Tennant Corporation.
'I know thanks to digital TV we have 200 channels, but 200 channels of David Tennant doesn't seem to be much choice.'"

Ok, there are SO many things wrong here it's insane. I'm gonna cut it down into sections;

1) Ok, does everyone remember the ridiculousness that was the 'war on old age' that apparently happened at the BBC when they decided to replace Arlene Phillips- a no doubt talented woman who, let's face it, is oldish and had appeared on every other series of 'Strictly Come Dancing' up until that point, with Alesha Dixon- a young, talented woman who had only appeared as a contestant. So, this would be an example of giving young talent a chance to appear on Tv...so they weren't freezing out a lot of opportunity for, let's face it, an up-and-coming person, yes?

2)What, so because David Tennant is 38 and has appeared in Tv shows on the BBC before (perish the thought) he suddenly doesn't count as 'up and coming talent'?? He's one of the most talented actors we have in Britain, and he's not even reached his peak yet!!he's now in a TV show in America, and has been appearing in many films since having left Doctor Who- surely this counts as up and coming??

3)A lot of his appearances have been based on the promotion of Doctor Who- so unless these guys want some serious continuity errors to occur, surely it makes sense to have THE ACTOR PLAYING THE DOCTOR PROMOTING DOCTOR WHO??

4)'Sadly they seem to have got themselves stuck in the rut chasing Ratings and going Populist' says Conservative MP Nigel Evans, a man who despite his status as a committee member for Cuture Media and Sport is probably reading these opinions from cue cards hidden in his cuffs, and is certainly not jumping on any sort of bandwagon by attempting to comment on one of the most popular Tv shows in history? nah, MPs don't do that...they don't talk about things they don't understand under the assumption that if their name is seen next to something relatively popular then they too shall become popular by association...that never happens...

5)'Even the most dedicated fan might have thought that the BBC was turning into the David Tennant Corporation' Er, no...I don't . And i'm a dedicated fan. I'm probably not the most dedicated fan- that'll be the crazies with his face photoshopped in their photo album labelled 'Our Wedding'. But until i read this article it'd never occurred to me that he was appearing a lot. His final episodes of Doctor Who are being shown- he's not going to crawl into a cave is he?!

6)'I know thanks to digital TV we have 200 channels, but 200 channels of David Tennant doesn't seem to be much choice.' Ok, who is this guy?? i mean, i'm prone to exaggeration and will happily admit but if you're a politician TRYING to make a serious statement for people to actually take into consideration you don't follow it up with a sweeping statement that rings of sarcasm!!! i mean, i know i did.but i'm a 19 year old student. sarcasm is my only means of conveying ANY kind of emotion

7)IT'S DAVID TENNANT!!!who on god's GOOD EARTH complains about David Tennant being on the TV a lot??? IDIOTS!!THAT'S WHO!!

8)He's an Actor. A popular actor from a popular show. He's only doing his job. Leave the poor bugger alone.

I hope this came across as a reasonable argument, and not just the ranting of a young woman, besotted and annoyed. I do fear that the latter comes through that little bit more though...
