David Tops Celebrity Eye Poll

David has been voted the male celebrity with the best 'come to bed' eyes. The survey was carried out by the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) for Eye Health Week. Other celebs in the poll included Dermot O'Leary and Simon Cowell. Cheryl Cole, Kelly Brook and Billie Piper made up the Top 3 females.

Love's Labour's Lost Opens To Critics' Praise

Love's Labour's Lost officially opened with its Press Night last night, and as with Hamlet, the critics were full of praise for David's role in the production.

Paul Taylor of The Independent says: "Tennant's triumphant performance was (and still is) a reminder that this Dr Who is a classically trained actor with two previous seasons in Stratford under his belt. It also exposed the snobbery of supposing that fans of Doctor Who aren't the sort who could ever become fans of Shakespeare." Giving the show 4 stars out of 5 he goes on to credit David with bringing Shakespeare to the attention of a new generation of theatre goers.

Michael Billington of The Guardian also enjoyed David's performance and says: "Its best feature is Tennant's sparky Berowne; and he constantly reminds us of the affinities between Hamlet and the king of Navarre's resident critic. Just as Hamlet sees through the masked pretences of Elsinore, so Berowne instantly spies the absurdity of the vow made by the youthful king and his companions to study for three years and forswear female society. Tennant, more than any other actor in this production, shows a capacity to handle Shakespeare's language with sensitivity." Adding: "It is a performance that confirms Tennant's Shakespearean status."

The Times' Benedict Nightingale also awards 4 stars out of 5 and describes David's Berowne as: "quick-witted, wry, waggish and mischievous enough to exchange a wink with a woman in the audience when the text asks him to compare her sex with unreliable timepieces."

Pictures can be found from the production here.

Send A Message From The 'Time Lord'!

David Tennant is Patron of Headway Essex and has signed 1000 cards to raise funds to support people with brain injury and their families and carers. The donation to Headway is explained on the back of the card.

David Tennant said about the project:

"I am absolutely delighted to be able to help Headway raise the profile of brain injury. While researching my role in Recovery, I spent time at Headway Essex where I observed some of the group sessions as well as chatting to some of the members. It was a truly humbling experience. There was so much hope, humour and positivity, mixed with occasional anger and sadness.

"It was a very powerful experience, seeing first-hand the effects brain injuries can have on people. It made me realise just how lucky I am and brings fresh meaning to the phrase 'there but for the grace of God go I'. Headway is a wonderful organisation and one I am only too happy to help."

Joanna Knight, Director of Headway Essex said:

"David, who is best known as Dr Who spent time at our Day Centre researching the leading role in the BBC drama "Recovery". We were thrilled when he agreed to be patron of Headway Essex, and we are doubly thrilled that he has undergone writer’s cramp to personally sign greeting cards which we can sell to raise much needed funds to help us provide care and support for people with brain injury and those who care for them".

"We are sure that these cards will be popular as it isn’t often one can send or receive a greeting from a Time Lord!"

"We hope that the sale of these personally signed cards will raise much needed funds for Headway Essex, as well as being a great fun gift for someone special"

"We would like to thank David for undertaking this mammoth signing task and giving such wonderful support to our charity of which he is patron"
