David Tennant looking extra sharp in a black suit with red trim on the jacket and red side piping on the trousers. He's helping to present Comic Relief 2024.
Short clip of David Tennant talking about presenting as part of Comic Relief tonight. I can only add one video per post and I'm not going to spam the timeline, so you can find the rest of the video on BBC iPlayer (interview starts about 02:32:10) - sorry for lack of captions but for some reason they really lagged. Transcript instead (auto-generated but I think I caught everything)

Charlie Stayt: Sometimes it's just best not to know. The brilliant thing about comic relief is that money raises. I was reading those figures is it 1.5 billion over
David Tennant: the past nine years? Yeah, one and a half. And counting
Charlie Stayt: we often the say the same thing here in the morning UK. How will people now given the struggles and every household you know, just making ends meet? Is there going to come with come a time when people just hold back a bit and then you see the numbers again, it's
David Tennant: one of the things that we see on the show tonight. We absolutely understand not everyone's able right now to be giving money away and that's that's also fine. This is just you know, we're all aware that the country we're all in I got to live in crisis. It's it's tough right now. It's just if you can, and we show the examples of what the money can do and it is absolutely life changing.
Naga Munchetty: Have you prepared yourself for all the films that come out because when you see them, they're emotional. Have you been sat in front of them so that you can hold it together?
David Tennant: I haven't seen all of them. I do a voice track for that. I've seen that one, which is an incredible film about about bringing fresh water to Somalia. You know, in a country we have to choose between or an area in Somalia, we have to choose between fresh water or going to school. That's not a choice, you know, and currently is able to bring the fresh water you don't have to pay for any more. Here you go. So your kids can go to school. I mean, it's so that's a sort of such a fundamental human right. So it's all about stuff like that all over the world and a lot of home in Britain too.
Charlie Stayt: They don't get you every time there's stories that get you every time. What's the costume for tonight, you know, are you wearing?
David Tennant: I'll be wearing a lovely. I've been trying to be as smart as you Charlie. Yeah, I've done that works.

David Tennant: Do I just read this now?
Charlie Stayt: You don't have to lean in so close
Naga Munchetty: Well, you can it was intimate it was, you're connecting with the audience
David Tennant: you guys. You guys are very chill. You know how to you're very relaxed, you're very at home here
Charlie Stayt: in fact I shouldn't have said anything, do your own style, I'll shut up
David Tennant: Comic Relief is on tonight at 7pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
David Tennant: And I have something rather sexy for you lucky people at home. I know what you're thinking, but I'm not wearing
