When people talk about Doctor Who’s modern golden age, the episodes featuring David Tennant and Billie Piper are often considered the best. Episodes like “New Earth,” “Tooth and Claw,” and the emotional “Doomsday” are frequently cited as examples of the show’s strongest work. Interestingly, those same episodes are actually the least favorite for the actors who starred in them.
During LA Comic Con this weekend, David Tennant shared that his Doctor Who season alongside Billie Piper-a fan favorite-was actually his “least favorite” to film. He explained this was due to the consistently freezing temperatures during months of shooting in Cardiff. When asked about his most challenging shoot during the panel, Tennant confessed, “Our season together was definitely the coldest. We had a lot of really, really cold [days].” Billie Piper quickly recalled the difficult experience of filming a snow-covered story while wearing uncomfortable clothing. “The ones that were freezing cold were miserable,” she said, prompting Tennant to sympathize with her having to wear a “tiny waitress dress.”
He talked about how anxious he felt preparing for filming days. “I always remembered walking into the trailer and seeing stacks and stacks of thermal underwear laid out with your costume. It immediately made my heart drop. You just knew it was going to be another freezing day.”
Still, he made sure to underline that the memories don’t diminish his gratitude.
“Even with that, I’m still grateful about the whole time.” “Sacrifices were made!” Piper joked, keeping the exchange light. The Rose actress assured that, despite the cold weather, things were warm on set. “We just had a laugh, didn’t we?We basically lived in Wales. The crew became the family…It was just, you know, it was a formative experience.”
LA Comic Con Offers No Updates on Billie Piper’s Doctor Who Future
What fans remember most from the season – the moment that stood out the most – was actually the least favorite scene for Tennant and Piper to film. It turned out to be the most impactful part of the reunion. Doctor Who fans were really hoping to hear about the future of the show, maybe with Piper-or Tennant-as the Doctor. The latest season on Disney+ ended with a surprising regeneration, showing Piper’s character taking on the role of The Doctor, but it left many questions about the series’ future-and Piper’s continued involvement-, especially for fans who consider her one of the best Doctors ever. They’re eager to find out what happens next.
Tennant described the exceptionally positive atmosphere with his characteristic kindness: “It feels a little strange to pick favorites. I’ve honestly thought fondly about every episode, and I recall something positive about each one.”
