I did enjoy this episode. A lot. I have loved Parky forever and I adore David Tennant so it was pure bliss to sit back and watch the interview. David looked so gorgeous, it was a pity he wasn't edible, covered in chocolate and crunchy caramel biscuit-y bits! I thought he was very smoothly the Performer On Show, with a set of almost- prepared answers that he delivered engagingly, with his usual 200% actor's flair and conviction. Nothing was said that was not already common knowledge to the die-hard DT fan, and the ITV format for the show - 4 guests? WHY?? - seemed to constrain Parky as well, who imo seemed well below par, even a tiny bit tetchy with the vocal DT fans in the audience. So while I loved the episode and enjoyed it, I don't think MP gave it best shot, for which I blame the more commercial format of the show; and DT imo had elected not to engage in a Tell All expose, which, given the out-of-control celeb culture in the UK and elsewhere, is probably extremely sane of him.
