David Tennant, who is starring opposite to Jennifer Garner in Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner's new show, 'Camping' on HBO, knows exactly what it's like to play the 900-year-old Time Lord (now Time Lady) in the cult series 'Doctor Who'. Although recently, Tennant has been taking up rather light characters such as the submissive, easily beaten down, such as Walt in Dunham's show (or as Simon in Shaun Pye's BBC4 show 'There She Goes'), the actor is best known as the 11th Doctor in the 50 years old 'Doctor Who's series. 

Recently during an interview, along with his 'Camping' co-star Garner, Tennant spoke about how he always thought that Jodie Whittaker is the perfect choice to play the Time Lady. While speaking with Collider, when asked if he has watched the new season in the series, which is portraying the recent re-incarnation of the Doctor as a female for the first time, Tennant said, "I thought it was thrilling and exciting. It was brilliant. I’ve always thought she was a great choice, and she proved to be exactly that. I think it’s great that there’s another Doctor, for a new generation of girls and boys."
