I’m hooked on ITV’s ‘most expensive flop’ – even if I don’t fully get it
This is actually the time I’ve enjoyed David Tennant the most.
Everything David Tennant touches usually turns to gold.
Since becoming a household name as The Doctor in Doctor Who, he’s been inescapable – from Broadchurch, to Rivals and even presenting the Baftas. Unless you’re Kemi Badenoch, the 54-year-old Scottish actor cannot put a foot wrong.
That is, until ITV’s The Genius Game – a new game show that has been branded the channel’s ‘most expensive flop’. But for me, of all the highlights of Tennant’s career, this is actually the time I’ve enjoyed him the most.
No one else might be enthralled, but we’re four episodes in and there hasn’t been another show since The Traitors where I am counting down the days to get my fix.
The premise is… well, it’s actually quite complicated – and that’s where much of the criticism lies.
