"Many of you really sat there for 14 hours! Well done."
David Tennant had a very special message to Doctor Who fans who completed the 14-hour #DoctorDonnathon at the Genesis Cinema in London yesterday.
The returning Doctor actor appeared in a surprise video at the end of the Doctor Who marathon, sharing his gratitude for fans who had participated.
"That's it! Well done one and all," he said in a video shared by fans online. "And many of you really sat there for 14 hours! Well done.
"Thank you – thank you for joining in with DoctorDonnathon here at the Genesis Cinema; it's been a blast.
"And make sure you tune into the Doctor and Donna's newest adventures. It's the 60th anniversary specials on the 25th of November," he added, signing off with his famous "Allons-y".
The #DoctorDonnathon was a global event for all fans to join in and stream the episodes, not just those in attendance at the Genesis Cinema.
