#WhyMyDevelopingPodcastExists

A peek into my research database....

Hello fellow DT fans!

As most of my followers know, I research and write about a lot of David Tennant's rare and obscure work in all mediums, like audio, film/TV, short films, etc. (you can find my Substack for all of that writing here, or if you'd rather read it all on Tumblr, here's a link to my pinned post.)

But I would hope my followers also know my main research focus for the last almost-decade has been David's early Scottish theatre (c1980-c1994, before his move to London) for my glacially-bloody-slow podcast in development, A Tennantcy To Act.

In that vein, it's occurred to me my audience may not really grasp just how much theatre David's done. So I will try to highlight just how much by showing you the catalogued list of plays I have in my research database. You will see them below.

If you can't be bothered to count them, let me be of assistance: the total is 62.

Yes, you read that right. SIXTY-TWO.

Now - whilst you sit with that amazing number for a bit - I want you to contemplate another number: 25.

TWENTY-FIVE.

And what does this number mean? Well, my friends, that's how many OTHER, as-of-yet unknown plays I've discovered David was involved with during his years in Scotland. I have THEM in this database, too, but I didn't reveal them in the photos I shared with you above because, well...they're to be revealed in my podcast!

What's more, I'm sure there are more plays I haven't found!

And that's why I've been researching all of these, and why I want to share my findings with a podcast. Twenty-five more incredible things David's done in his career that people deserve to know about.

As if he hasn't been busy ENOUGH!
