6. Learners
From one
Doctor Who co-star to another! David shared the small screen with Jessica Hynes in a 2007 drama called
Learners in which he starred as a geeky devout Christian driving instructor called Chris. After melting the heart of the nation earlier that same year as John Smith and Joan Redfern - also known as the greatest love story that never was - in Series 3's
Human Nature/The Family of Blood two-parter, David and Jessica treated viewers to a slightly more turbulent relationship in this comedy drama as Jessica's character, Beverly, attempted to pass her driving test once and for all having already failed it 8 times. Shaun Dingwall - also known as Rose Tyler's dad, Pete - joins the cast ensemble as Ian, Beverly's long suffering husband who is far too impatient to help his wife on her ongoing mission to gain her licence. A very witty script with some heartwarming moments to boot (no pun intended!),
Learners is a touching tale about overcoming your personal obstacles to achieve greatness... even if it does take you longer than everybody else! Worth a watch, if only for the "Rock Smurf'!
