Saying "exercised" instead of "worked up"..."exalted" instead of even "prestigious"...the man's diction always gets me every bit as much as the accent. So unfailingly clever and literate on his feet, far above and beyond what one expects from celebrity interviews. He may be "common" but his vocabulary is Oxbridge.
In another interview, DT remarked how Julian Fellows claims that only a person with an elite education could understand Shakespeare. Meanwhile, DT is undeniably the most acclaimed Shakespearian actor of his age and one of the greatest of any age, who hails from a middle-class background and education. I think it may shed light on perhaps why he has never even been nominated, never mind awarded a BAFTA (other than the Scottish BAFTA and a gazillion other awards, like an international Emmy). Yet, he has presented BAFTA awards and in a week, he will host the 2024 BAFTAS. What a secure guy! That only adds to his allure.
I've read many arguments from Shakespeare truthers, and they basically all boil down to "Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare because poors can't art good."
+Blaire Frei Yeah, we actually talked about this in our Shakespeare class the other day, and our professor said that the people who think William Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare's plays are basically the conspiracy theorists of the scholarly world. Like, as she put it, among anyone who knows anything about Shakespeare, the "Shakespeare truthers", as you call them, are the equivalent of people who say that Elvis was the one who assassinated JFK using time travel to be in two place at once. At least, that's how seriously she takes them. And, sidenote, this video got brought up in that same discussion, by someone other than me, just as I was thinking about bringing it up :) And our professor said that she agrees with David Tennant.
I think a great many of them also want to be smarter than Shakespeare. Thus they find it disconcerting that he knows something of the classics, even though 90% of Shakespeare's classical references can be traced back to the same source: Ovid's _Metamorphoses_ . But the anti-Stratfordians haven't even read Ovid, so Shakespeare's knowledge strikes them as uncanny. The same thing goes for his alleged knowledge of court life. That was current news in his era, but the anti-Stratfordians think that because they don't know much about the court of Early Modern England that nobody else could possibly know about it except a court insider, not even at the time. It would be like someone in the 25th century concluding that Andrew Davies couldn't have possibly scripted the BBC miniseries _House of Cards_ , therefore it was actually written by John Major to justify his leadership challenge. In fact, John Webster was a far more incisive observer of court life, and he was the son of a coachmaker.
This is a weird thing I always see people say. David was surprised when someone made a similar comment at a comic con recently. Just off the top of my head: Broadchuch-Scottish Gracepoint-American Mad to be Normal - Scottish Escape Artist-Scottish Single Father-Scottish What We Did On Our Holiday-Scottish Recovery- Scottish Blackpool-Scottish United- Welsh Spies of Warsaw - French (with an English accent) Postman Pat-Scottish Nativity 2- Scottish Tree Fu Tom - Scottish
it's called acting. The Brits are well trained and quite good at it. D.T. is one of the best, I'm surprised Her Majesty hasn't knighted him for it yet.
This man is insanely charismatic and charming. He isn't even handsome in the classical sense, but he just gets increasingly difficult to look away from.
@@kellifranklin9872 If that's even possible. I know what you mean, but he's so utterly adorable (even when he's playing the odd dork) that it seem impossible to improve on perfection.
+GoldStorm07 I can see how that would be true as it's really difficult for Scottish people (like myself) to make that 'oo' sound in any accent other than our own
+ashley smith It's not just Scottish. (My grandad is from Scotland.) I lived with my grandparents for awhile in Quebec. Gran is from Ireland. Grandad Scotland. We lived in French Quebec (and I'm also half American.) I then lived up in Nova Scotia and would visit Newfoundland and Labrador. Yea, not just Scottish. LOL.
I think we need a netflix show about david Tennant talking about Shakespeare in a bar with other actors. Kinda like comedian in cars getting coffee but better.
Colbert gets the best guests man. Like seriously. You will never see David Tennant on Fallon's show.

Plus Colbert doesn't fake laugh like Jimmy
+Sean Quinn Jimmy doesn't fake laugh. He's just naturally hyper. I'm a Kimmel fan myself, but I think all the late night guys and girl have their own flavor. Everyone has their one or more thing they excel at. Thank goodness for youtube so I can catch up with all of them without having to watch all shows.
Well originally they were. England tried to do away with scottish culture and language after the 45 uprising. They banned the clan system, tartan and history (after the distruction of the records)on pain of death. Some might say they are still trying, which is why tennent was not alowed to use his true accent in the role of Dr who. Capoldi was allowed but he was less "hip" and "youthfull" so it became less of an issue for them.
@@rainblaze. Wiki: "It is generally regarded that "clan tartans" date no earlier than the beginning of the 19th century, and are an example of an invented tradition." "The Act of Proscription outlawed Highland dress unless worn in military services although its impact is debated and the law was repealed in 1782." Don't tell me...Wiki is a tool of the English state? "Some might say they are still trying, which is why tennent (sic) was not alowed (sic) to use his true accent in the role of Dr who. Capoldi (sic) was allowed but he was less "hip" and "youthfull" (sic) so it became less of an issue for them." Yes, some might say that... Probably the kind of idiot that has a fancy to childishly romanticize what they mistakenly think of as "the Celts." I've found those people usually tend to be from the USA, where European history isn't as strong in the educational curricula as it is back home. Who is "they" and "them" btw? All the English in their powdered wigs and red coats? RTD was showrunner when Tenant came on board, and it was his request that the role not be regionalized so Tenant used his accent from Casanova (also a RTD project). Steven Moffat took over Who and he didn't make any request to Capaldi. So your argument might be that RTD, and Granada Television (producer of Casanova) are in some way some kind of crypto-imperialist oppression machine. I'd say that's not really borne out by their resumes. And if the BBC had some kind of agenda during the RTD years (again, not borne out by the BBC output during this time), then Moffatt must be some kind of undercover rebel freedom fighter who risked life and limb to "allow" his lead actor to use the accent he wanted to use. It's all possible. I mean, they are after all suppressing "the Celts" with selective fluoridation of the water and sedatives sprayed down in the form of "vapor trails" from commercial jets.

He also did a great Peter Vincent in Fright night. I mean, the guy is a gem. I've met him at Comic Cons and he is just a doll. However, Christopher Eccleston... Holy Hell. That man can make you feel 20 different emotions with just a facial expression and those EYES! He is a superb actor and he really brought the Doctor to life. EVERYTHING rode on Chris' shoulders. If he failed to deliver, the series would have died again. Nine was fire and ice. The true Oncoming Storm. Yet, his hearts (what was left of them) had such a capacity for love. He was power and gentleness all wrapped up in a black leather jacket.
+Guilherme Müller There are thirteen best Doctors. Fourteen if you count Hurndall. (Sorry, Peter Cushing, you were an awesome actor, but I just can't count you as one of the best Doctors.) I honestly am incapable of ranking them. Damn, though, Tennant is living the Whovian dream, though, isn't he?
David Tennant and Matt Smith were great, my favorites out of the new series. Although I've got to say Tennant really embodied the quirky, geeky, kitsch of the show.
Actually, Shakespeare 'invented' 5,000 words, including such common expressions as 'assassination' and 'hint'. He used twice as many words as an educated person today would use, not to mention phrases such as 'to catch a cold.' That is why he is in our cultural DNA.
So so wrong Assassination The earliest known use of the verb "to assassinate" in printed English was by Matthew Sutcliffe in A Briefe Replie to a Certaine Odious and Slanderous Libel, Lately Published by a Seditious Jesuite, a pamphlet printed in 1600, five years before it was used in Macbeth by William Shakespeare (1605) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination#:~:text=The%20earliest%20known%20use%20of,by%20William%20Shakespeare%20(1605).
Actually, assassin predates Shakespeare. The world is believed to share the same root as hashish, and was originally used to refer to a group of Muslims who would use covert and targeted killings to eliminate their enemies.
@@Ngamotu83it has it’s origins in the Middle East assassins sure but it only became an English word until Shakespeare looked at it and decided “that could be a verb”
@@tiringsarcasm Not quite. The first printed English use of the word 'assassinate' was in a pamphlet published 5 years before Shakespeare first used it.
+Blackcrame he actually uses it in an episode I'm blanking on the title but the one wth rose and the werwolf when she is trying to get the queen to say i am not amused.
Easily one of the best TV actors! when actors normally pray to have an iconic character this guy has already three in his pocket! Arguably the best modern Doctor,Easily one of the best Marvel villains and terrific in Broadchurch as Alec Hardy. I WANT TO SEE MORE OF THIS GUY!
Bit unfair that, maybe look into what he does before assuming he sits on his ass all day. The royal family are ambassadors and if you doubt their power note that 2 billion people around the world watched Harry get married and he's not even going to be King. one and a half billion people watched the World Cup if you need a comparison. If a trade delegation is in competition the Brits send in a royal , it's their trump card. People will go to that party over one hosted by unknown politicians.
Copy pasting this quote from the closed captions to use for an essay, thanks for being not only my fav actor to play The Doctor and my fav actor in general but also helping me fill a word count rn
2:11 "You don't have fancy people in Scotland?" "Very very few. And they certainly don't have accents like mine." That's probably true, but I still love his accent. It took some getting used to but I have no trouble understanding him anymore :)
I want David to be in a podcast where he talks for hours using his Scottish accent. He could talk about ducks and I'd still play it to sleep. Edit: HE HAS A PODCAST YASSS
also, you may already know this but there are three other podcasts I've discovered that interview HIM so there's more of him talking, although I think I like his own podcast best. one with him and Georgia, one for the RSC and another one talking mostly about Around The World in 80 days. If you... haven't found them and are still interested :P
He has a podcast and several audio books. He has some with Big Finish and on Audible. One of mine and my sons personal favorites is The Resurrection Casket. It is basically Treasure Island in space. David does all of the character voices and he is absolutely brilliant. But yes, anytime I have trouble sleeping, I play him or Sam Heughan, and go off to sleep. I find their voices very relaxing.
I think we should let what was good stay dead. If he overstays his welcome it might make his character so much worse. I'd love to see him return if Marvel decides to put all their money to good use and make a bunch of spin-off shows. I'm glad he's dead tho. That... thing, it needed to die. Fucking creepy ass rapist.
I used to hate Shakespeare, especially at school, I just didn't get it. But at college I was trying to impress a girl and said I loved his stuff (she was a classical literature nut). She got us tickets to Macbeth, 'oh crap' I thought. I flipping loved it ! Been a fan ever since. On stage it has a magic that reading it just doesn't have. I can't even remember the girl's name, but I'll never forget that night.
+Wootenay Well my Doctor is #4 (Tom Baker). He was brilliant and there's a reason he is still the longest running of all the Doctors (he had the role for 7 years).
That's SO funny bc I, too, am fixated on his socks and his pairing. Truth be told, I love everything about the man including his choice of wife and the love and respect he has for her.
Shakespeare is timeless. I can understand someone being bored, but the writing and tone is what sells Shakespeare for me. Pair that with a good actor and its perfection.
Even more amazing about Shakespeare's plays -- he often wrote them under time stress, he (rightfully) wouldn't give his actors full scripts for fear they'd sell them to his competitors, he couldn't include much stage direction because actors had no time to rehearse anything elaborate , he wrote nearly every line in iambic pentatmeter ... and he could have made an unbelievable reputation for himself on his poetry alone.
I am currently reading The Complete Signet Classic Shakespeare. The introduction alone has helped me understand more about the craft of storytelling than anything I have ever read. That Upstart Crow beautified humanity or at the very least made us aware of our ugliness.
All that glitters is not gold originates further back. The 12th century French theologian Alain de Lille wrote "Do not hold everything gold that shines like gold". Geoffrey Chaucer also expressed the same idea in Middle English in the poem The House of Fame, 1380 - "Hit is not al gold, that glareth". Nevertheless, it is Shakespeare who gave us the version we now use. (www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/all-that-glitters-is-not-gold.html)
If I remember correctly (it has been a few decades since I last read The Merchant of Venice) I believe "All that glitters..." is the common misquote of "All that glisters is not gold..." which is infinitely richer.
He is a "son of the manse" as we say in Scotland. His father was a minister and was at one time Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, so he's not really all that "common".
It's possible at least some of those words and phrases were already in use and Shakespeare was just the first to write them down. But there'd be no way of knowing that unless we find something earlier with them in. So for all intents and purposes, they're his. And an amazing list it is. Note: it also includes every word that starts with "un-", because he was the first one to put that prefix on words to indicate their opposite.
I wish you’d shown more of the Hamlet bit. It was a really funny schtick. Each person emphasized a different word in the sentence to great comic effect.
"Are you one of those people who thinks Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare?" "I... don't really care?" ME. SAME. FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT. (I'm a huge Shakespeare nerd too)
+Salil Bhatnagar Um, I suspect that's a claim that would offend both Tennant and Capaldi simultaneously, as both grew up as Whovians. That role is a lot older than that.
Benedict Cumberbatch,... and David Tennant..... on THE SAME STAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How did the universe hold itself together at this epic time?!??
But he met Shakespeare that one time. It was on BBC One.
Yeah, they go way back to 2010
Kyle Netherwood and only one play was finished by aliens
They talked about Harry Potter
And Shakespeare hit on him
And now he's met him again. Shakespeare stole a quote from him.
Geez, I forgot David Tennant was Scottish. Like, really, really Scottish.

Actually, Shakespeare 'invented' 5,000 words, including such common expressions as 'assassination' and 'hint'. He used twice as many words as an educated person today would use, not to mention phrases such as 'to catch a cold.' That is why he is in our cultural DNA.
So so wrong
Assassination
The earliest known use of the verb "to assassinate" in printed English was by Matthew Sutcliffe in A Briefe Replie to a Certaine Odious and Slanderous Libel, Lately Published by a Seditious Jesuite, a pamphlet printed in 1600, five years before it was used in Macbeth by William Shakespeare (1605)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination#:~:text=The%20earliest%20known%20use%20of,by%20William%20Shakespeare%20(1605).
Actually, assassin predates Shakespeare. The world is believed to share the same root as hashish, and was originally used to refer to a group of Muslims who would use covert and targeted killings to eliminate their enemies.
@@Ngamotu83it has it’s origins in the Middle East assassins sure but it only became an English word until Shakespeare looked at it and decided “that could be a verb”
@@tiringsarcasm Not quite. The first printed English use of the word 'assassinate' was in a pamphlet published 5 years before Shakespeare first used it.
If I could talk in that accent I would never shut up.
Same 😄😄
Same, I try to work on it but idk where to start... plus, english is not my language :/
Tennant is awesome!😂
"I don't really care." I've been thinking the same for centuries!
this man is a fucking gem
and as lovely to look at
GET BACK HERE JESSICA!!!
NOW JESSICAH!
+Tavero100 NOOOOOOOOOW JESSICAAAAAAAA
NOOOOW
i just died! thanks for the good laugh
I read it in his voice 😂😂😂😂
Nice purple tie. ;)
+96miffy ;)
+96miffy Kilgrave!!!
;D
Deep purple.
You know, *Deep Purple*
+96miffy You should see his socks.
One of my favorite lines: The world's a place of straying streets, and death the marketplace where each one meets.
And as always, your socks are bloody amazing, David.
Oh how I love his Scottish accent. Pity he didn't use it in Doctor Who nor Jessica Jones.
+Blackcrame It's kind of there in Jessica Jones
+MTsteel MT Nah, maybe a hint of it, but in general he was speaking with an English accent
+Blackcrame Watch Broadchurch, the UK version. He uses it there. Season 1 in particular is brilliant and Tennant is fantastic in it.
+Blackcrame early in on doctor who with piper, he tricked the queen in using his scottish accent. Then switched to briyish later on in the episode.
+Blackcrame he actually uses it in an episode I'm blanking on the title but the one wth rose and the werwolf when she is trying to get the queen to say i am not amused.
Met him at Comic Con. He smells amazing. That's all. #Whovianforlife
+Krinnin I heard he smells like chamomile, but I might be confused with something I heard about Matt Smith.
+Krinnin
I always knew he smelt nice!
What?! How do you know, for Godsakes? Do you go around sniffing his armpits, or something?
I have also met him, and it is true.
@@philoshaughnessy906 lmao!
Any time I've seen him, in any guise or setting, he's always left me wanting more. Way to go David. 😃
Easily one of the best TV actors! when actors normally pray to have an iconic character this guy has already three in his pocket! Arguably the best modern Doctor,Easily one of the best Marvel villains and terrific in Broadchurch as Alec Hardy.
I WANT TO SEE MORE OF THIS GUY!
Saw him in Single Father recently (about 7 years late granted) and he was brilliant. Not something I'd have expected to see him in.
And as for 2019 the most temptational demon
Around the world in eighty days.
Wow a 7 year old comment, you didn’t even know Crowley was coming . David I would say has 4 iconic parts now in 2023 HUZZAH
Benedict and David in one stage 😍
His hairdo looks closer to Tenth Doctor hair here than it did in the anniversary special and he doesn't even have sideburns.
Put up more of David's interview please. Thank you.
'Hardest work he's done all month' > Prince Charles
Take that, society!
Lool I love Stephen and he's probably right
+fragr33f While, I liked the joke, it's part of the Brawn vs Brains debate.
Survival in a Family like his is not an easy job in my viewpoint.
+Proboscis what? That went completely over my head
Bit unfair that, maybe look into what he does before assuming he sits on his ass all day. The royal family are ambassadors and if you doubt their power note that 2 billion people around the world watched Harry get married and he's not even going to be King. one and a half billion people watched the World Cup if you need a comparison. If a trade delegation is in competition the Brits send in a royal , it's their trump card. People will go to that party over one hosted by unknown politicians.
Copy pasting this quote from the closed captions to use for an essay, thanks for being not only my fav actor to play The Doctor and my fav actor in general but also helping me fill a word count rn
2:11
"You don't have fancy people in Scotland?" "Very very few. And they certainly don't have accents like mine."
That's probably true, but I still love his accent. It took some getting used to but I have no trouble understanding him anymore :)
I want David to be in a podcast where he talks for hours using his Scottish accent. He could talk about ducks and I'd still play it to sleep.
Edit: HE HAS A PODCAST YASSS
also, you may already know this but there are three other podcasts I've discovered that interview HIM so there's more of him talking, although I think I like his own podcast best. one with him and Georgia, one for the RSC and another one talking mostly about Around The World in 80 days. If you... haven't found them and are still interested :P
He has a podcast and several audio books. He has some with Big Finish and on Audible. One of mine and my sons personal favorites is The Resurrection Casket. It is basically Treasure Island in space. David does all of the character voices and he is absolutely brilliant.
But yes, anytime I have trouble sleeping, I play him or Sam Heughan, and go off to sleep. I find their voices very relaxing.
Love the expression on Judi Dench's face when Prince Charles shows up.
David Tennant and Stephen Colbert in one video? It's almost more than I can take!
Purple tie...are you teasing us a Kilgrave return you fabulous creature?
God i hope so
Well Marvel can do many things, so I hope they can repair his neck :P
I hope Kilgrave stays dead, but I want the character to comeback in the show next season through flashbacks and PTSD hallucinations.
I think we should let what was good stay dead. If he overstays his welcome it might make his character so much worse. I'd love to see him return if Marvel decides to put all their money to good use and make a bunch of spin-off shows. I'm glad he's dead tho. That... thing, it needed to die. Fucking creepy ass rapist.
He did indeed as we can see from the leaked set pics! xD
My drama class watched him in a version of hamlet. It was fucking awesome.
I used to hate Shakespeare, especially at school, I just didn't get it. But at college I was trying to impress a girl and said I loved his stuff (she was a classical literature nut). She got us tickets to Macbeth, 'oh crap' I thought.
I flipping loved it ! Been a fan ever since. On stage it has a magic that reading it just doesn't have.
I can't even remember the girl's name, but I'll never forget that night.
I really love David Tennant’s passion and love for Shakespeare
this is MY Doctor!
My Doctor is the 11
+Wootenay Well my Doctor is #4 (Tom Baker). He was brilliant and there's a reason he is still the longest running of all the Doctors (he had the role for 7 years).
he is my doctor too :)
Mine too~
2:56 seeing 10th Doctor and Sherlock (Benedict) on stage together is too much
His socks get me every damn time!
That's SO funny bc I, too, am fixated on his socks and his pairing. Truth be told, I love everything about the man including his choice of wife and the love and respect he has for her.
3:25 I love how he realised how funny that was mid-laugh.
Gotta love David Tennant. Still one of my favorite Doctors.
Exactly right. No matter who was the author, we still have the plays and sonnets.
Shakespeare is timeless. I can understand someone being bored, but the writing and tone is what sells Shakespeare for me. Pair that with a good actor and its perfection.
Even more amazing about Shakespeare's plays -- he often wrote them under time stress, he (rightfully) wouldn't give his actors full scripts for fear they'd sell them to his competitors, he couldn't include much stage direction because actors had no time to rehearse anything elaborate , he wrote nearly every line in iambic pentatmeter ... and he could have made an unbelievable reputation for himself on his poetry alone.
Gah never get tired of that man :) David Tennant will always be my doctor
I am currently reading The Complete Signet Classic Shakespeare. The introduction alone has helped me understand more about the craft of storytelling than anything I have ever read. That Upstart Crow beautified humanity or at the very least made us aware of our ugliness.
2:14 "Common as muck" Had to go back there, Tennant...
Don't mind me, I'm just getting my daily dose of Tennant.
I love when Scottish people become successful like I'm scottish and it's inspiring n that
All that glitters is not gold originates further back. The 12th century French theologian Alain de Lille wrote "Do not hold everything gold that shines like gold". Geoffrey Chaucer also expressed the same idea in Middle English in the poem The House of Fame, 1380 - "Hit is not al gold, that glareth". Nevertheless, it is Shakespeare who gave us the version we now use.
(www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/all-that-glitters-is-not-gold.html)
If I remember correctly (it has been a few decades since I last read The Merchant of Venice) I believe "All that glitters..." is the common misquote of "All that glisters is not gold..." which is infinitely richer.
I love that guy. brilliant doctor, amazing barty crouch jr., etc etc
"I'm very very common" dude your the best freaking doctor who.
His ancestry is common.
He is a "son of the manse" as we say in Scotland. His father was a minister and was at one time Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, so he's not really all that "common".
It's possible at least some of those words and phrases were already in use and Shakespeare was just the first to write them down. But there'd be no way of knowing that unless we find something earlier with them in. So for all intents and purposes, they're his. And an amazing list it is. Note: it also includes every word that starts with "un-", because he was the first one to put that prefix on words to indicate their opposite.
I LOVE THEM BOTH OMG THEY'RE SO CLEVER AND FUNNY
The Tenth Doctor! Kilgrave!
0:50. Oi! That Scottish accent! And I love his perspective, knowing he is a classically trained actor and an ambassador for the works of the Bard!
He was great av Kilgrave, and also my fav Doc. :)
I wish you’d shown more of the Hamlet bit. It was a really funny schtick. Each person emphasized a different word in the sentence to great comic effect.
"Are you one of those people who thinks Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare?"
"I... don't really care?"
ME. SAME. FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT. (I'm a huge Shakespeare nerd too)
YES! Two of my most favorite people ever together on screen! YAAAY! :D
10th doctor on Colbert... my life is complete
+Lilian Miramontes, Jr.
+Lilian Miramontes, Jr. Capaldi should regenerate back to him like he lit created capaldi's character.
+Salil Bhatnagar Um, I suspect that's a claim that would offend both Tennant and Capaldi simultaneously, as both grew up as Whovians. That role is a lot older than that.
sorry just said what I thought would sound cool
Exactly my feelings :)
Tennant is incredibly charming, terrific!
That purple tie made me uncomfortable.
Triggered
GwynnFyrion Anything purple makes me uncomfortable nowadays...
That profile picture.
What pic?
Bird In Motion I'm sure it was different. I think it was a Google+ notifications icon or one with a spider over it.
Well that ending didn't quite work out for Mr. Colbert.
Benedict Cumberbatch,... and David Tennant..... on THE SAME STAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How did the universe hold itself together at this epic time?!??
+Oziluv Ibezim What no love for Ian fucking McKellan?
+Jormungandr The World Serpent Or Dame Judy and Tim Minchin ? :D
Don't forget Tim Minchin and Judi Dench.
Yep, Shakespeare is amazing and who really cares if he was the man or not. The body of work is the most important thing.
DT looking good; just wish the interview was longer!
Went back to watch that laugh at 3:24 like 40 times.
Well..Good Omens fans -we know who was "that clever guy" xd
“i don’t really care”
stephen’s just like ok then noted
Omg Magneto and Kilgrave plotting the same room! BUT HAVE NO FEAR DOCTOR STRANGE IS THERE TO STOP THEM!
+Michael Brown Doctor Strange and the 10th Doctor in the same room. That's a debate all in itself.
Great clip; thanks for posting.
It's not that deep also comes from Macbeth, from Lady Macbeth's line "Consider it not so deeply"
This made me smile after a tough day.
any chance of you uploading more of David?
Leaderofpancakes love your profile pic
Leaderofpancakes the HoOt OwL Of dEAtH
I loved the scene in which Jessica says to Kilgrave You're Not Ten Anymore
Look at his polka-dotted socks!
He does love his socks!
“I don’t really care”. Hell yah. Shakespeares work exists. THATS what’s matters.
I chose Shakespeare as my person for this really huge project. This is for you, David.
I love it when DT does Shakespeare especially when he did Much A Do with the amazing Catherine Tate
Alsonsy!
+Joaq Wizard Phoenix Votre français est mauvaise.
allons-y!
+Horatio Moonraker le vôtre aussi
+Horatio Moonraker Le votre aussi ^^

I love his purple tie. Nice reference to his Marvel character.
I'm pretty sure Alan Rickman would have been there...
+Grigore Alegrispa He died several months ago mate.
+Staz Charlie Blood I think that's what they meant. If he hadn't died Alan Rickman would have been there.
Shakespeare has been my favorite writer since I was 12(now I'm 44.)😍😱🤗📚🎥
this is funnier considering the plot of st trinians 2
This is the second time I used David's first three sentences as an introduction to somekind of Shakespeare essay. So, I gues...thank you.
