Actor David is asked: "What was it like when you became the tenth Doctor Who?"
He responds: "I watched that show all my life, I grew up with it.
"Had posters on my wall, met Tom Baker (the fourth doctor).
"He signed my poster when I was about 8 or 9. It's a very happy thing, even if you're not a fan of Doctor Who.
"Very few people feel negatively towards it, as far as I can tell."
He joked: "I'm now inviting people to get online and tell me how rubbish it is, but they can f**k off."
The new ITV show will also see ex Match Of The Day presenter Gary Lineker, actor Danny Dyer and ex-Little Mix singer Jade Thirlwall face the panel's questions.
During his quizzing, former EastEnders star Danny admits wife Jo deserved better when she kicked him out the house for his wild drug-fuelled partying.
In The Assembly, he also gets called out for sending his son Arty to a posh school - despite being known as a hardman from London's East End.
"How working-class was it to send your son to a private school?", asked one audience member.
Danny Dyer calls himself a 'p---k' as he candidly opens up about split from wife Jo in The Assembly
"Good question," said Danny, who is also a dad to daughters Dani and Sunnie Dyer.
"I'm very proud of my roots, but do I want to be living in an environment where, especially at the moment where there's helicopters going over my house all the time and sirens all the time, a lot of crime? Of course you don't.
"So what you want to do is, you want to earn some money and then move to a better area where you can bring your children up.
"When you have kids, you want to give them everything you can.
"Sometimes it backfires on you slightly because now they're not street-wise.
"I walked everywhere as a kid or I had to get a bus.
"I don't think they've ever been on a f***ing bus, my kids.
"They don't have to, do they? Because they get driven door to door by a Bentley."
Watch tonight at 10pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.

Soaps spoilers next week: Emmerdale killer strikes again and Corrie LSD horror
Robert and John Sugden's rivalry is getting out of control next week in Emmerdale while, in Corrie, the Weatherfield teens are forever changed by a night of partying. Soap fans are set for another rollercoaster next week as some fan favourite characters will be left in the balance. In Emmerdale, John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) is determined to keep half-brother Robert (Ryan Hawley) away from his marriage with Aaron Dingle - but could he claim another life as a result? Over in Coronation Street, Weatherfield residents are trying to move on from the shocking death of PC Craig Tinker, prompting Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) to urge Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) to throw a party on the cobbles. But in true Corrie fashion, the night is set to spiral. Much like ITV viewers, BBC One regulars will face their fair share of ups and downs in EastEnders with Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) struggling to help Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley). But there's more drama on the way in Neighbours, Hollyoaks and Home and Away. Emmerdale Robert feels guilty about hurting Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) and decides to move out. John pressures Caleb (Will Ash) to end Robert's trial employment. Caleb invents a cover story, leaving Robert disappointed - Jai (Chris Bisson) later confirms John's interference. After a tense confrontation with Robert, John tries to convince Victoria to report Robert for hitting her. Overhearing them, Robert is upset and seeks comfort in Aaron (Danny Miller), who rejects him. Distraught, Robert tries to distract himself - only for John to intervene when Robert's date drugs him. John drives off with unconscious Robert in his van, before towering over him with a syringe in hand. Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) mentions Sarah's (Katie Hill) IVF to Cain (Jeff Hordley), assuming he knows and Cain is furious that Jacob is more in the loop than he is. But his angry reaction leaves him at odds with Sarah. She later admits to Jacob that Cain's behaviour has caused her to question herself. Jacob tries to reassure her and when she shares her fears over her mortality, he makes a bombshell proposition. Later, the seriousness of Sarah's cancer operation becomes an unavoidable reality. Elsewhere, Joe (Ned Porteous) hatches a plan to get revenge on Billy (Jay Kontzle) with the help of a newcomer. Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) overhears Tracy (Amy Walsh) making preparations for Nate's funeral and seizes the opportunity to get the Dingles an invite. Coronation Street At Bernie's suggestion, Aadi throws a midsummer party. Carla (Alison King) hands Betsy (Sydney Martin) the keys to the Underworld factory, asking her to lock up. But when Brody (Ryan Mulvey), Dylan (Liam McCheyne) and Lauren (Cait Fitton) walk in, she gets distracted and forgets. The group heads to the party but when Brody shows Dylan a bottle of LSD, telling him he intends to make some money, Dylan is concerned. Meanwhile, romance is in the air for Amy and Aadi but a misunderstanding leaves him hurt. Later, he kicks Brody out of the party after spotting him with LSD but when Brody's gone, Aadi splits the LSD into three cups - and the night takes a devastating turn. High on LSD, Summer (Harriet Bibby) and Nina (Mollie Gallagher) let themselves into the darkened café. When they hear the sound of sirens, they cling on to each other, terrified. Confused, they then try to retrace their steps for answers. But when discussing what they witnessed that night, they agree to stay quiet. Kit (Jacob Roberts) tells Bernie he's had the DNA results through and confirms he's Brody's biological father. Will he keep the news to himself? Elsewhere, Liam (Charlie Wrenshall) confides in Maria (Samia Longchambon) that Gary (Mikey North) isn't answering his calls, after expecting him to return from his mother's. Maria masks her concerns for Liam - but where is Gary? EastEnders Phil worries about Nigel when he goes out barefoot but fears grow when Phil returns home to find chaos. Danger then strikes as Nigel and Phil bicker over a pan of boiling water. Kat (Jessie Wallace) later clocks Phil is injured and, realising something is wrong, presses him to be honest about Nigel's condition. Realising he's in over his head, she visits Phil and suggests he needs extra support to take care of Nigel. Meanwhile, Nigel spirals as he helps Lexi (Isabella Brown) with her homework. Yolande (Angela Wynter) organises a party for Patrick's (Rudolph Walker) birthday and asks Elaine (Harriet Thorpe) to host at The Vic. Elaine agrees, roping in an overwhelmed Linda (Kellie Bright). When Linda is left to hold the first alone, George (Colin Salmon) steps in to help, causing Elaine to lash out. Later, Elaine goes big for Patrick's party, while Denzel (Jaden Ladega) welcomes his friends at the house. After trying to bribe his way in, Joel (Max Murray) takes Denzel to The Vic, where Elaine agrees to let them have a glass of punch each. But things go awry when the teens are left unsupervised. Elsewhere, Nicola (Laura Doddington) and Teddy (Roland Manookian) are concerned for Barney (Lewis Bridgeman) when he fails a chemistry test because of the stress. Nicola tries to cheer him up, but scathing Harry (Elijah Holloway) throws a spanner in the works. Hollyoaks Prince has doubts over throwing a party for Mercedes but she tells her family to continue organising it. Jez is concerned to hear Dodger has planned to meet with Tori's former social worker. Later, Dodger investigates what happened to Dennis.

Doctor Who stars join forces for Ace book about iconic jacket
During an episode of Doctor Who in 1988, Sophie Aldred beat up a Dalek with a baseball bat while wearing her character's iconic years later, standing next to one of the models used in that very same episode, the actress admits her old nemesis has not "aged terribly well".The 62-year-old played Ace, who was a troubled but clever teen who became a companion of the seventh Doctor played by Sylvester spoke to the BBC at the Discover Bucks Museum in Aylesbury, where her co-star Dalek model is on actress, who lives in nearby Hertfordshire, has written a book about her character's jacket, with contributions from Doctor Who stars including David Tennant, Jodie Whittaker and Peter Capaldi. Back in 1987, the then 24-year-old had suggested the jacket to the show's costume designer after seeing teenagers, like Ace, wearing similar ones in was soon crammed with more than 50 badge; a mix of Aldred's own keepsakes and additions from the costume pinned on her Blue Peter badges, her old lacrosse captain's badge, and a Thunderbirds badge, having written a university dissertation on creator Gerry Anderson."I've got a Charlton Athletic badge there which is my team, however Ace came from Perivale in west London [so] she would have likely supported QPR or something like that," she explained. The jacket was worn in the story Remembrance of the Daleks, where Ace famously beat up a Dalek before jumping out of a window to to face again with one of the Daleks used in that story, she said: "It's not aged terribly well, has it?"Back in the day we didn't have HD so we actually could get away with slightly battered Daleks with paint splashes and brush marks and things like that."She recalled: "Our stunt director said, 'Look, sit down. You've been through the equivalent of a minor car crash in terms of adrenaline'."And so, off everybody went and I was sitting there doing breathing exercises... Then I heard, 'Uh, excuse me. Could somebody let me out, please?'"They'd all gone and left the poor bloke inside the Dalek." In 2022, she returned to the screen alongside Jodie Whittaker's Doctor, once again swinging a baseball bat at a recalled: "I said to Chris Chibnall, who was the producer: 'I've got the jacket, do you want me to bring it?' and he said 'Yes!'"Young people who didn't know anything about Ace saw me in that as an older woman and they also loved the character of Ace."There's something about Ace that I think appeals to people because she's very realistic and she's very authentic." The idea to write a book about the jacket came from Doctor Who fan Shawn into two parts, the first instalment, Ace's Jacket: The Inside Story, includes fictional tales about how each badge ended up on Ace's coat."I went off to various Doctor Who alumni like David Tennant, Chris Chibnall... I said to them, could you write a story about one of the badges that takes your interest?"I got in touch with a lot of the people I know, I collared people at parties and conventions."They've written little short stories or poems - we've had paintings, we've had cartoons, we've had all sorts."The list of more than 50 people who have taken part includes names from across Doctor Who's 63-year history, including guest star Hugh Bonneville and writer Steven every living actor who has played the leading role made a fans were also invited to contribute such as content creator Christel Dee and writer Beth Axford. The actress said much of the money raised from the book would go towards charities Autism All Stars and the National Autistic explained: "It felt like something really great to do for charity as well."We wanted to choose charities which had some kind of association with Doctor Who and there's a lot of Doctor Who fans who do have autism. I've met so many of them. "They're such incredible, amazing people. I just really felt that it would be good to raise some awareness and some money as well for for these charities."Aldred admitted it felt surreal, decades on, to still be wearing the same jacket and standing in front of a Dalek talking about she insisted she would not change a thing: "It's extraordinary. She's such an amazing character and I've absolutely loved every minute of it." Follow Beds, Herts and Bucks news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.
