Subscribe to our channel at David Tennant adds amazing comedy lyrics to the haunting Broadchurch TV show theme song. David spent the morning co-hosting the Absolute Radio Breakfast Show with his mate Christian O'Connell. By popular request, here are the lyrics in full: ----------- My name is Detective Alec Hardy . I like to wear unironed shirts and stare at the horizon ...and pop pills like Smarties. I haven't shaved properly since 1993. I also like walking on the beach and not talking about my feelings. My best friend is DS Ellie Miller, which is surprising because she does a lot of crying and it's quite uncomfortable. Her wobbly bottom lip is BAFTA-winning though. Sometimes I talk really quietly, AND SOMETIMES I SHOUT A LOT FOR NO REASON AT ALL, ESPECIALLY WHILE RUNNING. It's called “for dramatic effect“. And it's won us loads of awards, if it ain't broke... you know what I mean? Anyway, filming on a beach isn't bad you know - and was nothing like Doctor Who - so that's nice. Yes it stars me - and Arthur Darvill who played Rory - but it's NOTHING LIKE DOCTOR WHO. And Nobody's noticed Gwen from Torchwood because it ISN'T DOCTOR WHO. Or that the young journalist was also once in Doctor Who. As was the psychotherapist And Olivia Coleman. But like I say it's NOTHING LIKE DOCTOR WHO. People say to me, hey, aren't you that guy who played a transsexual Barmaid called Davina in the Scottish TV production Rab C Nesbitt? And I say, yeah, Who's asking? They always laugh at that. I never understand why. So I take more of my meds. My name is Detective Alec Hardy. Full time man of the law, part time line dancer and everyone's favourite Alec - after Baldwin. ----------- Watch more clips of David Tennant from the show here: David Tennant talks about his BROADCHURCH BEARD: David Tennant spills the Broadchurch beans: David Tennant reads the traffic and travel news: David Tennant has only ONE outfit for Broadchurch: Listen to Absolute Radio at Find us on Facebook And follow us on Twitter
