David Tennant receives glowing verdict as he makes BAFTAs debut amid viewers’ pleas for him to return

David Tennant was a hit with viewers as he made his BAFTAs hosting debut - but will he return to do it again next year in 2025?

Doctor Who star David, 52, took over the presenting reins for Sunday (February 19) evening’s show on BBC One from last year’s co-hosts Richard E Grant and Alison Hammond. Dame Judi Dench and Stanley Tucci also had cameos in the routine concerning Bark Ruffalo, who also made an appearance on stage.
