“I love a bit of political drama; 'The West Wing' is probably my favour...” — David Tennant Quote

I love a bit of political drama; 'The West Wing' is probably my favourite television series of all time.

I don't think I have ever done anything for this age of children before, a pre-school audience. Generally speaking, we don't have vivid memories of that age and what influenced us, yet clearly they are hugely formative years and it's really important that we can create television of a high quality for that audience.

When you're playing a real person, there's a balance between playing the person in the script and playing the person as he was in life. You have to be respectful and true to who that person was, but at the same time tell the story in the film.

I was hugely formed by stories I was told as a child whether that was in a book, the cinema, theatre or television and probably television more than any medium is what influenced me as a child and formed my response to literature, story-telling and, therefore, the world around me.

It's great extremes which leads to great drama and great comedy.

I stopped modeling so I could go to drama school at the William Esper Studio. It's Meisner.

I grew up in Oldham and moved to Manchester and London. I didn't go to drama school. I just did a B-Tech.

Drama starts where logic ends.

I like period drama because everyone is so restrained, but they have all these emotions raging underneath.
