Who are you calling lazy? Former Doctor Who star David Tennant has enjoyed some mild fun at the expense of the next man to take on the role, Peter Capaldi, reports the Sun. The former Thick of It star, you may remember, will get to use his Scottish accent, unlike Tennant, who put on an English accent with the help of his sonic voicebox. "I just think it's lazy," said Tennant at a Doctor Who event in London ahead of the show's 50th birthday show (in which DT will appear). Tennant said it wasn't easy leaving the show in 2009. "Part of me would have stayed doing it forever.
