DR WHO SCORES TV AWARDS HAT-TRICK
Doctor Who has scooped three prizes at the National Television Awards in a repeat of its success last year.
The BBC sci-fi drama won most popular drama, most popular actress for Billie Piper and most popular actor for David Tennant, who plays the Time Lord.
“Huge success”
The hat-trick of awards for Doctor Who was a sign the show has lost none of its popularity with David Tennant taking over the lead role. Tennant’s predecessor, Christopher Eccleston, took the best actor award in 2005.
“I think if my eight-year-old self could see me at the Royal Albert Hall winning a prize for playing the doctor on telly, he would need a stiff shot of Irn-Bru,” said Tennant after collecting his award from Dame Julie Andrews.
“I’m really chuffed,” he added. “It’s been really daunting to come into something that was such a huge success.”
The Doctor Who machine continues to push forward…and the world is a much better place because of it!
