David Tennant's long-long short film Quality Control (1996) is finally here!!!
Well, here it is.
I have to say - for a verrrry long time, Quality Control was one of those David Tennant credits that sat on my research list surrounded by question marks. As I'd shared beore on A Tennantcy To Act, I knew the film had been broadcast, but beyond that, very little seemed certain.
All of that changed very quickly once I found Hannah Lewis, who wrote and directed the film, and Duncan McLean, whose short story inspired it. From them came surviving VHS copies, production records, recovered memories....and eventually, the original 16mm print itself.
None of this would have happened without Hannah's generosity. Not only did she preserve the film all these years, she very kindly gave permission for me to share it with y'all, so that David's fans could finally see it.
So, after years of research and more than a few unexpected twists along the way, I'm delighted to finally share Quality Control.
Enough from me. You've waited long enough.
After decades out of sight, the rare Channel 4 short film survives thanks to a recovered 16mm print, and the generosity of the people who ma
New/Old David Tennant to watch! How wonderful
