Was it? Where did you hear that? Was it in a podcast? Where did you hear that? It seems unlikely to me, considering David Tennant is a massive Whovian and therefore would play the Doctor again at the drop of a hat. Over at Galifrey base is where I read that by people who were at Chicago tardis. It was also mentioned that it took a year of negotiations for Tate and tennant on board compared with about 2 weeks to get hurt on board so definitely not at a drop of a hat Tennant and Tate dosen't surprise me, both are very busy actors with a lot of media exposure, their agents may not have been overly supportive about them going back to Who so soon and I suppose the BBC would have been cautious about granting a New Who license for BF, Tennant remains a massively popular actor and doctor, and even relatively niche audios could have proved intrusive to Capaldi if not handled sensitively. Two weeks for Hurt though? That's surprised me, although I got the impression he enjoyed the role, he's an even busier actor and presumably a more expensive coup, great to know he was so open to it, judging by the first two eps of Only The Monstrous he's slipped back into the role brilliantly..

Jacqueline Pearce is a great friend of Sir John's so her inclusion will have been a boost for him.

For hurt his health at the time made agreeing to do the audios a much more easier and less strenuous job than doing movies or tv

I'm sitting down to listen tonight to the first set.

I vaguely remember Catherine Tate saying in an interview she would have happily stayed on for for Series 5 if Tennant/Moffat had asked her to, maybe Tenannt asked to work with Tate first because he felt they had the most interesting Doctor/Companion relationship and/or the most new ground to cover in new audio stories? Maybe he might have asked but I'm not sure he'd have turned down the chance to play the Doctor again if Big Finish hadn't managed to get Catherine Tate. Again, I'd understand that but would he really say 'It MUST be Catherine Tate or I won't do it'? Yeah, I can see why they wouldn't start with Rose or Martha first. I expect Martha will be the next 10th Doctor companion they'll explore; Rose will probably be after Martha for the reasons you state.

Life is more complicated than 'at the drop of hat' for Tennant and 'never ever ever anything ever' for Eccleston. Perhaps but David Tennant just seems like the kind of person who chooses jobs based on his fan preferences to me.

I'd have thought John Hurt would be harder to convince than David Tennant. Catherine Tate is debatable though considering she's more a casual viewer of the show than fan.

It may not have been that Tennant needed to be convinced. It's more likely that he needed more negotiating because of his price (he's very sought after right now, and he has agents, managers, etc. that he may not have had in the past) as well as scheduling. He's very busy (as is Catherine Tate, I would imagine) and it couldn't have been easy getting the two of them into the studio together.

I'd just tell the agents/managers to sod off and do it for free!

As noted Tennant especially is a busy actor and I would imagine that a big part of the fun for both of them would to be in the studio together, so getting both their schedules to synch up was more than likely a chore.

So it was John Hurt who agreed to do it at the drop of a hat. Who would have thought.

John hurt did the foreword in Jacqueline Pearce autobiography...
Her having a big finish track record / experience
And john being quite ill. Both must have been a factor

He always comes across to me in any interviews as happy to be working.

I know it's a long shot, but I'd like to see the announcement of a Renegade trilogy in the Main Range. A Fifth Doctor story with with Monk, a Sixth Doctor story with the Rani and a Seventh Doctor story with the Master, with Rassilon having masterminded the whole thing to get back at the Eighth Doctor. Drax is returning after all with the Fourth Doctor. Each pairing sort of reflects each other in some way, like with the villains trilogy back in the lead-up to Zagreus.
I also predict a Fifth Doctor and Davros story, and that the final trilogy of the year will be a Fifth Doctor trilogy.

I'm not saying he isn't a professional or slamming him (if anything, my comment is meant as a compliment for David Tennant) but judging by the roles he takes on he seems to have a sense of loyalty towards things he's a fan of. One example that's not Doctor Who: he clearly seems to be a Marvel fan given he posed for a picture in their studio on Twitter and he agreed to do Jessica Jones.
