Oh, no, no. (I met the man once. It was traumatic.) But I forget, and it is so very pretty...

Wait, you met him once? Tell me things about THAT! I like Tennant-related trauma!

(Oh, SO pretty. I could listen to him speak for hours. And I have, too. Yay audiobooks.)

I worked at the BBC for a while in early 2007, and was in Current Affairs, i.e., in London, and miles away from entertainment and BBC Wales, and on my way down to the canteen one day, I saw him. He was obviously on a break, standing and talking to people and drinking coffee, and I just. froze. Could not say a word. Went and hid behind a pillar for a while, and then got up the courage to go through the room to where I was going! I guess I should have stopped and talked to him, but a) I was terrified and b) he was obviously enjoying a break from screaming fangirls and c) terrified.

Oh my god. I would have frozen too. I mean, in my head I can see myself playing it cool, just sort of walking by him, not really interrupting his conversation, but just tapping him on the shoulder and going "Love your work!" before throwing him a smile and going on my way. This has worked ONCE in my entire history of being fangirly (with Kaia Wilson, the insanely hot backup singer that Amy Ray had on her solo tour this time around), but the odds of it working with Tennant would be slim to none. I'd probably start off well with the shoulder tapping thing, and then trip over something and go "SAVE ME DOCTOR."
