As previously mentioned, we were at the Doctor Who: Water Of Mars press screening today. The question and answer session afterwards was enthralling, but for us, one of the most interesting facts to emerge was that David Tennant’s last line as Doctor Who wasn’t actually for the main show. His last scenes were in fact, filmed as part of a Sarah Jane Adventures special.

David told reporters:

“My last day was actually on The Sarah Jane Adventures which is on this afternoon. The last line I said as the Doctor is halfway through the episode tonight: ‘You two – with me. Spit spot!’ They were the last words I uttered in the suit!”

“I guess it was robbed of any epic quality really but that was probably best because it was very emotional saying cheerio. Filming the very final scenes was very sad. There are lots of scenes in the final story that are very sad and were very sad to play. If one of them had coincided with the actual final day I’d have been a puddle. I was a bit of a puddle as it was but I kept a stiff upper lip.”
