BBC Radio 4 Extra - Desert Island Discs Revisited, Doctor Who at 60, David Tennant

From  Billy Bragg to The Proclaimers. Actor David Tennant makes his music choices

4 Extra Debut. From Billy Bragg to The Proclaimers. Actor David Tennant shares his castaway choices with Kirsty Young. From 2009.

Actor David Tennant is castaway on a desert island by Kirsty Young.

He has been voted the best Doctor Who ever and has redefined the Time Lord for a generation of parents and children.

As a child he was a huge fan of the programme; he reckons he only ever missed one episode, wore a long stripy scarf and queued up to meet Tom Baker and get his autograph. 

As a role, he says, it appealed not just to his adult self but to the eight-year-old boy who was just below the surface.
