I'm thrilled to be in anyone's nighttime routine, even if it is a nightmare
0:06
Don't blink, whatever you do. Oh my God. Don't blink. David Tennant, welcome to Heart's Evening Show. How are you
0:13
Very good, thank you. Very good indeed. What are your usual evening plans, by the way
0:18
Like your sort of usual evening routine, if you've got a bit of time to yourself
0:21
It's getting the various children to bed, reading some stories, choosing whatever Little Miss book is going to be on the cards for this evening
0:30
There's often some negotiation. We're very excited about your new TV series, Genius Games
0:35
Yes. First episodes are on ITVX right now. Yeah. If you fancy yourself a bit of a smarty pants, a bit of a know-it-all
0:42
I think you're absolutely going to love this. The contestants are all quite brainy
0:46
They all have to sort of reach a certain level of genius themselves
0:51
But they come from all different walks of life. So there's a stand-up comic there. there's a crime writer, there's a forensic scientist
0:57
there's a university lecturer, there's a professional poker player. So they're all bringing slightly different skill sets to it
1:02
And the joy is watching them all plotting against each other, frankly
1:07
What is it about this game in particular that seems to really captivate people
1:12
It's sort of the Krypton Factor meets traitors, you know? So you get the elements of both
1:17
You're admiring the intellect, but you're really admiring the kind of scheming and the plotting
1:22
I was trying to work out how smart you would be going up against one of the cleverest people that I know. Okay
1:28
Somebody who reckons they pretty much know everything Oh great That my 10 niece Shiloh Okay She pretty clever I think she might be on the next series of Genius Game I think she just been cast I heard rumors I heard whispers
1:40
So, David, I'd like to find out in a completely original idea that I've had. Yes
1:44
Are you smarter than my 10-year-old niece? I'm quite nervous. She is pretty clever
1:49
Now, we asked her a series of very smart questions earlier on. She passed with flying colors
1:54
Okay. Question number one. What's the best food ever? Wow, it's quite an open-ended question
2:02
Flying out the gates. I think I was perhaps... I'm going to say the best food ever is
2:07
for its adaptability, its unpredictability, and the fact that there's not anything you do with it
2:14
that doesn't taste great. The potato. It is a really good answer, David
2:20
Unfortunately, not the one I was looking for. The correct answer is, in fact, chicken nuggets
2:24
but I also would have accepted turkey dinosaurs or smitey faces. and you were right there with the potato
2:30
I was very close. I'd also like to refer that answer to Jamie Oliver
2:34
and see what he's got to say. All right, you know what? It's the first question, don't worry. It's still all to play for, David
2:39
All right, all right, all right. Who's the strongest person in the world? I'm going to say your niece's dad
2:46
David, it's the correct answer. Yes! According to my niece, it's daddy is the strongest person
2:52
Come on, come on. Question number three. Yeah. David Tennant, how far away is the moon
2:59
Oh, very far away is the answer to that. You know what Yeah I actually going to give you that one because according to my niece it was 300 kilometers but without checking wow i love that she said 300 kilometers by the way
3:16
because it's really specific it's not like you know some kilometer it's not even 500 300
3:24
yeah you know what not not smarter than my 10 year old niece but still a respectable scorer
3:29
I wouldn't want to be. Now, we have got a question we like to ask all of my guests
3:35
Okay. It's actually called Please Stop Asking Me, which you've given us one of these before
3:41
Just to refresh your memory, can we play you what you said last time
3:45
The one that I do get a lot is, where's your sonic screwdriver? I suppose it's a question people ask
3:49
not really looking for an answer. I want to say something clever. David, do you have anything you want to add
3:56
to the Please Stop Asking Me list? There is another... It's related, but it does actually..
4:03
It is a genuine question, and I have a genuine answer to it, but I just feel like I've answered it a lot
4:09
which is, if you had a TARDIS, what time or place would you go back to
4:15
Have you ever got that written down in front of you? Yes, it's like one of my little bingo games. Yeah, yeah, yeah
4:20
And, I mean, it's a great question, and it's legitimate, and I understand why people want to ask it
4:25
but I do get asked that a lot. and you do have an answer for it now
4:30
obviously I'm not going to get that I was thinking about this I don't think I'd do anything adventurous
4:36
do you know where I want to go back to? your eight year old self oh you not far off just the year 1994 I just want to go and sit down and watch telly in 1994 Well why particularly Just good adverts in 1994 I think
4:50
Do you realize what you're squandering here? You're actually like a total waste of..
4:55
You could go and see dinosaurs. So as well as asking around the office what we reckon might have popped up
5:00
in your Please Stop Asking Me, there is something that a lot of people mention
5:04
that as well as... Look, David, you have brought us so much joy over the years
5:08
Thank you so much. Thank you. However, you're also part of some of our nightmares
5:14
There's an episode that kept coming up that people around our office have been a little bit traumatized by
5:20
Very good. The Weeping Angels. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It came up a lot when we are
5:25
So I was wondering, would you like to use this opportunity to maybe apologize to some of the people who still get nightmares
5:33
over that episode in particular, or the three people in her office who wouldn't stop talking about it
5:38
Oh, no. No, no, no. I'm nothing but very, very proud. I'm thrilled to be in anyone's nighttime routine
5:47
even if it is a nightmare. No, I'm very proud of that
5:51
Come on. What a great thing to be associated with. Bring it on
5:57
Yeah, don't blink. Whatever you do. Oh, my God. Don't blink. David Tennant
6:04
you've easily been one of my favourite guests ever thank you so much for coming to talk to us
6:08
