In a surprising turn of events, this evening’s National Television Awards saw former Doctor Who star David Tennant win the Special Recognition award.

Perhaps a bit young, you might think, the truth is that David is obviously a very popular chap, and in a video clips package that featured Catherine Tate, Billie Piper, Russell T Davies, Richard Wilson and Tennant’s father, it was quite obvious just how much he is loved by those that know him. Presented the award by his friends The Proclaimers, Tennant then talked and thanked various people, accepting his award most graciously.

As you can see in the video above, Tennant was genuinely shocked by the award.

Meanwhile at the event, former Eighth Doctor companion Sheridan Smith arrived late after being stuck in traffic on the way to the wards ceremony, where she had already won the Drama Performance for her superb portrayal of a young Cilla Black in Cilla.

Finally, the Drama award was incredibly won by Downton Abbey, which managed to overcome not only Doctor Who and Sherlock, but also this year’s favourite, Cilla.
