David on the cover of the new Radio Times

David Tennant is featured on the cover of the new issue of Radio Times as they celebrate 20 years since the return of Doctor Who.

Speaking inside he says "When I signed on, the first series of the new version hadn’t even transmitted, I sort of signed up to be in a second series that nobody could really be certain would ever arrive.

"I could have appeared in a regeneration scene at the end of series 1, and that could have been it. I would have been not even the George Lazenby of Doctor Who; if I can make a slightly obscure Casino Royale reference, I’d have been the David Niven of Doctor Who!"

Radio Times is available in shops tomorrow and is also available on the app.
