It's Billie Pipers nickname for David since they were in Doctor Who together. I quite like it.

Oh right and sorry, I was being uncharacteristically rude!

The Cumberbatches have arrived in Stratford upon Avon by the way, they were wearing the same clothes we saw in the Obama meeting thing, so they must have jumped straight in the car after that.

Good ole David, standing in at the last minute. Ha!
@Ivy...er, I was wondering if the name referred to an anatomical part!

Well it was Billie Piper that invented it, so I'm pretty sure it was. With the name like Tennant ,that makes sense, I don't think she took measurement. But he should be okay with that nickname.

I'm sure he's very flattered!
Actually, it could have later referred to his Richard II hair!

I wonder what scene he'll do tonight? Do you think it will be as Hamlet? I guess that's what everyone is thinking or Richard III. I wouldn't mind seeing something completely different. He once played Titania in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in a school play at Harrow. I'd like to see that.

I'd love to see him in anything. Shakespeare suits Ben

**Posted by besleybean** April 23, 2016 7:13 pm

Yeah, hopefully we get to see a couple of different scenes.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** April 23, 2016 8:24 pm

I didn't even check for Danish airing. lol. I'm glad I have Filmon!

It's an amazing show so far!

**Posted by besleybean** April 23, 2016 8:25 pm

Yep, I'm enjoying it!

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** April 23, 2016 8:38 pm

Watching this amazing show I get so mad at my country's English teaching... we only had to read a few pages of Shakespeare in the curriculum... the teacher in my advanced English class chose the simplest and most known parts of Romeo and Juliette... I chose myself to write my major project on the madness in Hamlet (and was advised against it by my teachers, I then joked I'd then write about death in Macbeth... in the end I was 'allowed' to write about Hamlet...) It's such a shame really!
