If you're a new reader, you might’ve missed my one-and-only podcast ep about Golaschin!, a 1989 radio play that may be David Tennant’s first broadcast performance.

In this post, I dig into the research behind the ep, share archival finds, and give an update on my search for the original recording!

“The 7-part series recently released on streaming service, Stan, is about the phone hacking scandal in the United Kingdom. It has a stellar cast, (David Tennant and Toby Jones) and was written by Jack Thorne, who recently won an Emmy for his work on Adolescence.”

Not to mention helped spare those of us who didn't know all the particulars of the investigation another few hours of tedious in-character exposition!

I thought it was a brilliant and entertaining choice.
(2/2)...I wrote about 'Wax Fruit' last year here at A Tennantcy To Act' because it has a connection with David.

And that connection is that he did a production of it during his drama school years!

Curious? Read on!
So what's 'Wax Fruit'?
...and what in the world does it have to do with David Tennant?

Screenwriter Andrea Gibb is doing a livestreamed event for BBC Academy Live today.

For those David Tennant fans not in the know: Gibb's the author of the DT audio 'Sunburst Finish' and short film, 'Bite' (1997).

AFAIK she's working on 'Wax Fruit' now, which I'm excited about, too. Why? (1/2)

Michael Sheen's role as Alexandros Eliopolis is folded into the mix as someone who arrives with a backstory that dovetails nicely into this tale.
My latest Wales Unveiled article on @mchshe.bsky.social and his 1991 stage debut in When She Danced is now on Substack.

Revisiting the first post of a series my colleague @Amy McGrath and I did together called ‘The Sheenant Chronicles’.

This one highlights the performances of David Tennant and Michael Sheen in the role of Jimmy Porter in the seminal 1956 John Osbourne play, Look Back in Anger:

I hear ya. I'm sure there's a good German word for the feeling I've been feeling since 2020...at least I hope so, because nothing in English has come close enough.
Now that I'm done with my series on 'The Ghost of Benjy O'Neil' (tho I'll likely update later!), it's time to move on to other pastures.

In future posts I'll highlight some of David's Scottish filming locations! Also, me and @smallmegapixel.bsky.social are working on the next Sheenant Chronicles!
