BACK ON STAGE AS HAMLET |
Actor David Tennant has returned
to the lead role of Hamlet on the London stage after undergoing back
surgery. Tennant, who is quitting Doctor Who, received an ovation
along with his fellow actors, the Royal Shakespeare Company said.
But they added his return would be assessed on a "day by day" basis
and theatre-goers are advised to check the website for updates.
The 37-year-old's run at the Novello Theatre is due to finish on
10 January. Tennant's understudy Edward Bennett, who played Hamlet
during his absence, has resumed his role as Laertes.
Bennett received standing ovations when he initially assumed the lead,
but mixed reviews from critics.
Tennant paid tribute at the time, saying it was a "fantastic achievement" getting
to grips with the part of Hamlet at short notice.
Tennant had an operation for a slipped disc in December,
and said his enforced absence from the play was "hugely disappointing".
"My back problem has progressed to the point where it is currently
impossible for me to carry on without surgery," he said last
month.
He
played Hamlet 60 times in Stratford-upon-Avon in the summer ahead
of the production's London transfer.
Tickets for the London shows sold out within three hours when they
went on sale in September.
Tennant is due to begin filming scenes for a Doctor Who special later
this month.
Matt Smith has been unveiled as the next actor to take on the role,
and will be seen on screens from 2010. |

STATEMENT |
Latest news at 3 Jan: David
Tennant has made good progress following his recent back operation
and began some rehearsals yesterday in preparation for his return
to the title role in Hamlet. He is rehearsing again today and although
there are no guarantees, at this point we are not ruling out that
he may be able to perform this evening, Saturday 3 January. If he
does, Edward Bennett will return to his original role as Laertes,
along with Tom Davey, Ricky Champ and Robert Curtis who will play
Guildenstern, Lucianus, and Francisco.
We will be assessing David's return to each Hamlet performance next
week on a day by day basis. Please check our website from 10am each
day for an update on that evening’s performance. The production ends
its run at the Novello Theatre on 10 January.

HOLDS STRONG APPEAL |
DOCTOR Who star David Tennant
has been named as one of the most influential people in showbusiness.
He is only the fifth actor to make it into entertainment bible The
Stage's Top 20 power list.
Alistair Smith, The Stage's news and opinion editor, said the Bathgate-born
star's appeal was so strong he could "read the phone book" and
still get people to pay to listen. Tickets to see Tennant in the
Royal Shakespeare Company's Hamlet in Stratford-upon-Avon and London
sold out in hours. Source: Edinburgh Evening News. |

EXPECTED FIT FOR NEW WHO |
David Tennant is expected to
be fit enough to start filming scenes for a Doctor Who special next
month, just weeks after surgery on his back. The show's executive
producer, Russell T Davies, said he was "hopeful" Tennant
would start filming on 19 January.
"We'll have to be very careful," he said. "I don't
think we'll be swinging him on a wire on his first day back."
The actor's back injury has forced him out of a London stage production
of Hamlet until after Christmas.
Davies, who was speaking at the press launch of BBC One's Christmas
Doctor Who special, The Next Doctor, said there would be no re-writes
on the next story to cut down on Tennant's action scenes.
"No, there's been none of that, and I think David would have told
us by now because he's read the first script."
He said the production was insured in case Tennant was still recuperating
when filming resumed.
Neither Tennant nor David Morrissey - who plays "The Next Doctor" -
attended the launch.
The Christmas story sees them team up to battle a threat from the
Cybermen in London on a snowy Christmas Eve in 1851.
The episode also stars Dervla Kirwan, who plays evil workhouse matron
Miss Hartigan.
Warning - potential spoilers ahead: Please do not read any further
if you do not wish to know more about The Next Doctor or next year's
specials.
[HIGHLIGHT FOR SPOILER] The story introduces
some new variations on the Cybermen: the dog-like Cybershades and
the CyberKing. It also features a mystery surrounding a man named
Jackson Lake, the Doctor taking a trip in the other Doctor's Tardis
and a new kind of sonic screwdriver.
Davies revealed that the first of next year's Doctor Who specials
will be filmed abroad.
"It's going to be quite exotic," he said. "I can't
tell you where, but we've got four days filming abroad, to give it
a bit of size and a new feel to it."
He added there was also a "great guest star".
Tennant announced in October that he would stand down as the Doctor
after filming the four special episodes in 2009. Davies said each
special would feature a different companion and that he would write
Tennant's two final stories which would be broadcast "toward
the end of next year".
"The big climax is mine, all mine," he said.
He added that the production team for the 2010 series of Doctor Who
were "auditioning or looking" for a new Doctor.
"I think it could be a while - it's a very big deal to set up.
Whoever becomes the Doctor has got to take on a whole life. It's
not just becoming a part of a TV show," he said. [END

I have been updating several

out and about yesterday going to the local shops in London, so he
is clearly on the mend. The telegraph have
a small article about his outing. |
