Is there anywhere where they have commented on THE BIG BANG or PANDORICA OPENS since it has aired?
I doubt that Tennant or Davies watch the show regularly.
Now Eccleston probably doesn't...![]()
That's not much of a joke, is it?I heard a joke that RTD must have felt insecure in his manhood after watching a finale as epic as The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang.
... unless I was opening... the Pandorica!Put it this way.. I wouldn't open with it..
On a somewhat serious note, I remember the S1 DVD set had an interview with Eccleston where he said the only times he watched Classic Who was to watch a Dalek episode or a regeneration episode. I've always wondered if he's continued to watch Tennant's Dalek episodes as well as Smith's, or if he watched The End of Time?
I would LOVE to hear what Eccleston thought of the actors who followed him, or his impression of the show after he left. But somehow I doubt we'll ever know.
Hell, I don't think I've heard him even mention Tennant's name in an interview.
Wouldn't surprise me if RTD and DT kept watching (work permitting). There was certainly no indication that they years on the job burned them out on DW. And as someone said above, they both started out as big DW nerds.
Unfortunately as someone also said, they probably avoid saying anything negative publically, so as not to sound catty. So all we'd probably get is an "I think the new series is amazing!" soundbyte.

Yeah, I'm thinking he's probably put that entire year behind him. Just another actign gig.

There was an interview I read from maybe a month where RTD said he was delighted with how series five was progressing and that he'd watch "Doctor Who" with Moffat as the show runner forever or something like that. He's not stated anything but positive things. I'm sure Russell and David watch it when they can. As has been stated David is a self professed Doctor Who nerd so I think he'd watch it when he could or Tivio's it.
He's watched at least the episodes he did episode commentaries for. Obviously.Did Tennant ever watch his own eps though? A dye-in-the-wool fan he might be but many actors don't actally like to watch themselves on the screen.
