Peter Davison: Here’s a coincidence David actually, I was listening earlier, and David happened to mention that yesterday he had two Christmas dinners and that a bowl of sprouts - I had exactly the same coincidence. A bowl of sprouts left in the oven and never made it to the table…
David Tennant: [giggles] Fancy that happening in two different places!

“Rather untypically for someone who doesn’t have their own kids, you do seem to get it with kids.”
"Right."
"Would you like to have children?”
“Yeah. I think it feels like an important thing to do, yeah. I’d hate to miss out on that.”
“Well you’re only thirty-eight.”
“Yeah. My parents had three kids by this age, so…and I’ve had none yet.”
“Get on with it, then.”
[laughs] “Maybe I should, yeah.”

“Has surrounding yourself with children [on Single Father] made you broody?”
"How do you know I wasn’t broody already?”
- Radio Times, October 2010
“Did playing a father make you think about wanting kids?”
“What’s to say - ”
“Have you been asked that question?”
“Yeahhh. What’s to say I’m not - you know, that I don’t already want to have kids. You know.”
“You - yeah okay.”
“It’s, er - you know. Hey. Move on, Jo.” [laughs]
“All these long pauses, I’m saying absolutely…”
- Jo Whiley,October 2010
“Has it made you broody?”
“How do you know I wasn’t broody already?”
“Has it increased your broodiness?”
“I’ll tell you when we go to a record.”
“Have you got any special news for us? [lowers voice] David Tennant’s pregnant!”
[David laughs]

“Just wanna say a quick hello to Ty this morning, I believe he’s listening, and this is the Hoosiers - this is for you, Ty."
- The Christian O’Connell Show, Absolute Radio, 28th October 2010
"Five months ago, his girlfriend Georgia Moffett gave birth to their daughter. Georgia Moffett is the daughter of former Doctor Who star Peter Davison. That means Tennant’s daughter will have a Doctor as both father and grandfather. How crazy is that?”
Tennant smiles. Silence.
“But it is bonkers, isn’t it? Did you actually go out and seek the daughter of a Doctor to mother your child?”
“That’s exactly what I did, yes, and there were very few candidates available. It was a limited field.” He grins.
“It is unlikely, isn’t it?”
“I know, but seriously, anything I say will get picked up.”
“Do you ever sit down with Peter Davison and say, ‘This is weird?’”
“I’m not giving the Daily Mail a quote. I’m not doing it… Don’t do this to me,” he pleads. “Mmmmm, I have a very happy family life, very blessed, yeah. I understand there’s an interest, and I don’t want to feed it.”
I give up. “OK,” I say, “I’m going to let you…”
“…wriggle,” he finishes.
“Am I allowed to ask if Peter Davison is a nice man?”
“Peter is a very nice man.”
