Christopher Eccleston in the worst underwear ever.

I do love the dictionary.com twitter account - always happy to supply a good definition in times of need.

Bless David Tennant and his love of the word “undercrackers”

Tales from the stage door

Sorry for the long post! So, here they are - some of the pics I took of David at the stage door at The Wyndham’s Theatre after his 2. and 3. performance of Don Juan in Soho (which you should totally go watch!). Some are better than others, but they are all magnificent because, well - it’s David Tennant! You are welcome to share, save or whatever you want - just don’t repost, please :-) 18-03-2017:

HAPPY TENNANT TUESDAY!!!

DT STYLE RUNDOWN- The Undercrackers

Introducing the DT Style Rundown a meticulously researched, detailed look into classic elements of Tennant style!  I will endeavor to stay on top of editing these posts as new details come to light so we can have a working record of DT style.

For a look at past Style Rundowns, and to see what we’re currently working on check out The Comprehensive DT Style Rundown.

The world of Tennant!pants speculation is one shrouded in mystery, secrecy and god-awful salmon colored pants.  Here is what we know.  

Early Who-era PG (pre-Georgia) DT favored short Calvin Klein brand boxer briefs which often sported a colored band (red and blue have been documented). By his own admission he does not, I repeat, DOES NOT wear red satin ladies knickers.  

However, at some point prior to 2015 he switched to a so far unidentified brand of pants for unknown reasons. It is believed the new pants may be DSQUARED2 but as of yet that is unconfirmed.  We do not believe he has changed pants style in addition to brand, but continue to monitor the situation as it develops.

If you have a lead, photographic or otherwise please pass it on to the DT!Undercrackers investigative team.

So I've been doing some more thinking about David's underwear...

…and no, I still don’t think that’s creepy. 

(See my original post here for context)

I mean, why were his pants on the floor by his bed?

You’re out all day at a music festival with you’re best mate, you come home late, you crash into bed.  You don’t change you’re underwear first.  And even if he had taken a shower then wouldn’t they be on the floor of the bathroom?

I can only think of two reasons why his pants would be by the side of the bed:

allegoricalrose?

For the record, since this is going around again, I feel like I should add that I’ve since come up with a third reason his under-crackers would be on the floor by the bed.  Actually, I’m a little dismayed that I didn’t come up with it initially.  

3. … ummm you know what? I’m not gonna say.  I’m just going to link to this (very NSFW) lovely fic by Kelkat and see if you get the picture.

You mean like those red satin ladies’ knickers, David? (x)

Room 101 Recording 27/10/15

Where to begin. Got there super early, was 9th person in queue. And yet. There were some extremely inefficient ticket distributions going on, in that there were 275 people with ‘priority tickets’ - aka those who had been turned away at previous recordings due to them being at full capacity - which meant that they could show up at any time and get in.

After a hugely stressful half hour when these VIPs lol got in, we in the general admission got turned away in droves. Only like twenty of us plebs got in, not even that probably. Which goes to show just how early you have to get to these things, them being free and over-issued to ensure a full audience. Anyway, of those of us who got in, two were my new friends @ktrosesworld (we met at Bring the Noise :D) and @tyttetardis. Both of whom enriched the experience for me and I was very glad to spend an evening in the company of :)

So, those ticket issues aside - which could easily be smoothed out, I reckon, but were probably caused by the ticket peeps not anticipating how many would attend for DT - queuing for, ahem, 3 hours was 100% worth it, and here’s why:

David was, no joke or exaggeration, the hottest he has ever been. The peakest of peak tennants, if you will.

He looked dashing in a smart, fitted suit and I believe a purple spotted tie (not completely sure on that as I was sitting on the back row, although speaking of seats, I still had a great view as it’s a small studio. Plus they had screens up so we could see close-ups of when the guests were speaking.)

My most important news of the evening: the beard is back, wooo :D

Now. I don’t know if I should spoil the show lol so what he picks to metaphorically banish forever shall be kept secret unless you wanna know, in which case message me privately. I don’t want to spoil it for people who want to be surprised though, because goddddd you guys are in for a treat when this thing airs. I will say this: the first two items he picks are fantastic because he basically read my mind and picked things I, too, would banish forever. Like-minded, me and Dave.

The Daily Mail isn’t one of his choices but he got in a dig about them which was great :D

I should probably explain for those who haven’t seen Room 101 before: Frank Skinner - who, incidentally, was on top form tonight, very very funny - gets to pick which of his three guests - DT, comedian Aisling Bea, and newsreading legend Trevor McDonald - get to chuck their pet peeve into room 101 and therefore metaphorically eradicate it. Whoever he chooses wins the round, of which there are 3. (Though it was implied that upon editing, some might get cut for time.)

In a methodical, persuasive tone of voice reminiscent of his Just a Minute appearances, David ranted about his pet peeves and entertained everyone tremendously. He was just fantastic. His charisma and humour shone through even when passionately defending and justifying his utter hatred for his first two - entirely correct - choices. Even hearing him express negativity is a joy, basically. :D

His third choice involves something specific to him that I also shall not spoil but I promise you, it’s hilarious. I’ll give you a sneaky hint in that after his explanation, Frank Skinner brings up - and plays a clip from - something in David’s audio back catalogue. Which David is very embarrassed about. Amazing.

Highlights from bits you might not see on telly:

1. David standing up to do a thing with Frank and him patting his own arse and fiddling a bit and then going: ‘I’m fine, but I can feel my mic pack slipping into my undercrackers!’

2. Aisling getting David to stand up and help her with what she was talking about regarding lazy kids on scooters. She was on a scooter and got him to pull her along on it, to which he responded, ‘Oh, I do this regularly.’ (eta: he also said ‘come on’ in a soft quiet 'dad’ voice as he pulled her along as though encouraging a child lol) She proceeded to talk about seeing dads dragging their kids along on these when they get tired :D

3. Frank’s story about working with David 15 years ago and being more excited about their other co-star David Troughton than DT, purely because he was the son of a Doctor. He said, ‘Little did I know that someday DT would BE the Doctor. Which is a lesson for you: don’t meet your heroes before they are your heroes.’ I found this such a lovely, sweet sentiment, bless Frank
