Loved David but Parky seemed below par

[cassandra2006 · 7/10 · 30 June 2007]

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.

David at his ultimate laid-back best!!

On this episode, Davide was at his ultimate laid-back best! The conversation with Michael Parkinson, was just as friend to friend; totally relaxed and smooth (and sexy {he just comes across that way,I don't think he can help it!}, but not towards Michael, obviously!!!!) When the other guests came on, David (sitting back in his chair with one leg over the other) joined in the general discussion and made a few jokes (funny too!!).

I thoroughly enjoyed this programme, and being the avid Tennant fan that I am, have saved it on DVD. At the end though, David was beginning to get that look ''Get me out of here!'' and I do not blame him; he was the first guest on, and three more followed. Well done David, you showed your best side (and looked very sexy at the same time) as you always do on these type of shows!
