David Tennant talks about filming Good Omens and Doctor Who at the Globe

David Tennant at Fan Expo Dallas 2024, 9.6.2024

Fan: Two of your most iconic roles, the Doctor and Crowley, they have scenes that span all of history, and I was just wondering, what was your favourite historical era to portray yourself in and why for both characters?

David: Well, both characters got to visit Shakespeare's Globe, and both times we got to film in Shakespeare's Globe, which exists in London - for anyone who wants to know - they rebuilt the theatre that Shakespeare would have performed in with his company of players, it's been rebuilt in the banks of the Thames, close towhere it would have been, and it's been rebuilt in as much historical detail as possible. And it now runs as a theatre. It's got a full cycle of plays. You can go to London tomorrow and se a show there. And as a set to film on it's the most extraordinary thing. It's completely realised. So you stand in this kind of circular place and you look around and you're in Elizabethan England. It's fantastic. So we got to film there on Doctor Who, which was wonderful, and we got to for Good Omens as well. So both those characters were filming those scenes which were supposed to take place in that time in the most extraordinary sense, that could never be... no production would be able to make it in such extraordinary detail. That was a real treat. So that was for both of those characters that would be... for me I'd say that was the most kind of immersive experience anyway.

We talk a lot about how Crowley and Aziraphale make each other smile, and how they're united through their shared excitement about the world. While this is very valid, I feel like we're forgetting about another important part of a relationship: mutual complaint.

Oh, how much I adore this brief moment between them.

Do you know how much trust it probably takes for someone like Aziraphale to openly complain about something related to his work?

First of all, he is not allowed to complain about anything in Heaven other than Hell. We see this a lot in S1 when he tries to discuss the plans of Armageddon and is repeatedly (even violently) shut down by the archangels. He is an Angel. He works for Heaven, the so-called Good Side. Everything he does, he should do with delight. Being unhappy about a task? Not wanting to do something, let alone disagree with it? It’s just not on.

Second of all, the way Aziraphale says it, he is expecting a certain reaction from Crowley, an affirming one, that is. He is saying it in a way that is asking: “Isn’t that awful?” He is not afraid to be judged, rather the opposite: He believes that Crowley will show him sympathy. And most amazingly, Crowley does.

Not only does Aziraphale trust Crowley enough to complain about something and communicate negative emotions about his work, but he also knows Crowley well enough to anticipate his understanding. He makes himself vulnerable and is rewarded with validation in return.

Even if this was already part of Crowley’s plan to speak about The Agreement, Aziraphale wouldn’t know it. And if we're honest, it doesn't really matter. He trusts Crowley because Crowley deserves his trust.

Sure, getting excited about the same things is fun. But additionally, being able to complain to somebody and knowing that they will be on your side, building a foundation of mutual trust by shared dislike?

Damn. That truly is some love right there.

It’s recently come to my attention that I haven’t said a word about my London & Macbeth trip (that’s a blatant lie, I’ve just been lazy), so here goes: MACBETH WAS EVEN MORE AMAZING THAT I THOUGHT POSSIBLE. In truth I still had my doubts about the headphones but those disappeared probably as soon as the lights went out, the music came on and DT first flashed those magnificent hairy knees at me. There’s so much spit flying past and towards you (shout out to my man not born of woman, Macduff), no wonder the whole company was ill the other week.

I haven’t anything else intelligible to say that hasn’t already been said, but I’ve got a curtain call video to call my own and I’m so happy about that (I fumbled with the phone due to heightened emotions or something so of course I took a photo first).

Annoyingly, there’s a 10-photo limit on these posts? What travesty.

Met up with @theeminentlyimpractical at the infinitely gorgeous Painted Hall in Greenwich, got flirted at by our tour guide at The Globe in front of everyone else, embarrassingly enough (or was it just friendly banter? well, we shall never know now; hey, Tyler, if you’re reading this, Meghan sends her love), so all in all, excellent times were had by all.

Can I go back, like, right now?
