Russell T. Davies on casting David Tennant, his return to Doctor Who and writing Torchwood

You may want to listen Russell T. Davies speaking on casting David Tennant, his return to Doctor Who and writing Torchwood. He is speaking interesting stuff: the writer and producer Russell T. Davies (known for Doctor Who, Torchwood, It’s a Sin and Years and Years among others) how he rolls the BAFTA channel dice to break down some of the iconic characters he’s created so far in his career. He discusses how he met and cast David Tennant as Casanova; vows to reunite with Eve Myles, who played Gwen Cooper; how perfect timing brought Ncuti Gatwa from Sex Education into the Whoniverse; and why it was so difficult to cast Stuart Jones in Queer as Folk, the role that eventually went to Aidan Gillan.
