The folks on tennant_love were mostly "Aw, he was putting so much of himself in the role that he had to have a moment alone!" although between thee and me, I thought it was a bit unprofessional of David not to make sure. On the other hand, it seems a bit out of character too; in no other outtake have we seen him do that. And even if you don't like your co-star, dude! The guy's cuffed!

On the third hand, since we're talking aliens, I have to say in fairness that John was *almost* upright as David steps away and David may have thought he was okay - it wasn't "CUT!"*splat* More like "CUT!"*pull John uprightish as standing up, turn away, John falls on his back, people swarm to him.*
