Now, he definitely IS a real Doctor!

So I guess he's now called Dr. David Tennant. Nice.

Smart, kind, talented, sexy, and gorgeous. I may be late in discovering David Tennant, but I am glad nonetheless. Cheers to you David and I hope you get all the awards and success you deserve!

"Be on time, know your lines, and be nice". Thank you. I needed some advice like that. Although I will never go into a profession in the arts, this is very much something I need right now, even as a student learning my trade. All I need to do is to change the "know your lines" part to "know your stuff".

TIMELORD VICTORIOUS

A big well done to FANTASTIC DAVID TENNANT this is the perfect title for him. 👍 👍 👍❤💋

Aww he’s sooo cute when he has no idea what he’s meant to be doing

DT, he never ever fails to disappoint. God bless him.

Thank you so much for this.The gentleman who gave this speech spoke of David's character.This is why he is universally loved.I became aware of David(as the Doctor) April 4th 2010, during A doctor Who marathon. The first scene I saw him in as the Doctor was the Doctor comforting an older woman on a double decker bus in the middle of the desert.I had no idea what I was watching or the context of the story, but I was drawn to this person on screen and wanted (had) to keep watching.It has been (for me) David ever since. Not only in his acting profession has he achieved acclaim, but I admire him for who he is, as person.It embodies everything he does. He so deserves this accolade.David is now the Doctor for real. I am so happy for him.

15:10 Thank you, Doris ❤

I don't know how I've come across this so late but I'm glad I did. I've been a fan of David since Doctor Who & have admired him ever since. He seems like a great guy & very well deserving of this. David, you won't see this but if you do - thanks for being you & thank you for passion & kindness.

Thank you for posting this. I heard him admitting he was struggling to think of what to say at the NY talk. Clearly he found it and it was great (as was his proposer's speech. Would have liked to have seen more of David's reaction to some of those comments but I can imagine!). Well deserved and the first of many awards and honours before, undoubtedly, he joins the likes of Gielgud et al as a Lord of the theatre. Couldn't happen to a nicer or more talented bloke.

WHAT a speech David gave. Wowee! Is there nothing he can't do?

David Tennant's speech happens at around 14:57 (for those who wanted to know when he'd say anything)

hes always been a doctor since 2005, just not the type most expect

Just happened upon this happy occasion and do hope the graduates are enjoying their stage and acting careers. And thrilled we now have the official doctor Tennant x

now he is the one true doctor!

As someone who is about to go into a drama school I think his advice especially the second one is the best you can give and exacly What I needed

I like how he turns to talk to the Graduands. makes it personal to them, not a set speech. Which is hat it should be.

I love this man!

if this came out in july then the beard is because he was filming Broadchurch season 3 at the time

With King Charles III, I don;t think David will ever be knighted. He deserves that. In my mind he will be Sir David Tennant!

What a treasure.

Thank you so much for sharing. I heard this was going to happen but never dreamed I would get to see it. Thank you again.

Im so proud

Orgullosa de David ❤️

Truly impressed well where is the one acting job wow you know you should call you the doctor

A fellow American reads the honorary degree! Yay! Is that his new daughter's name? Doris? I had an aunt Doris, I was very, very fond of as a child.

Thank y Gema for posting this. So very adorable

Omg David

ah so now we get the tiny tidbit of information that he and his wife have managed to keep secret for some months... the name of the second daughter. I knew there were reasons to watch this.

THANK YOU!!!!!!! and to pink nutella good luck

I don't get their humour in this, that just confirms that I don't belong there xD

Aw when was this?

From being The Doctor to being a doctor? Sounds like a cut in pay....

I told u bad guys turned good in real life.after certain incidents or mishaps.

the greatest doctor of them all will always be Tom Baker, David is the greatest doctor of the modern age and well worthy of his degree, way to go!!!!!!!!!

What the hay is an American doing in the middle of all this? He actually says, "Skatland."

Shave the beard!
