on 25 february 2007, tennant starred in "recovery", a 90-minute bbc one drama written by tony marchant. he played alan, a self-made building site manager who attempted to rebuild his life after suffering a debilitating brain injury. his costar in the drama was friend sarah parish, with whom he had previously appeared in "blackpool" and an episode of "doctor who". she joked that "we're like george and mildred – in 20 years' time we'll probably be doing a ropey old sitcom in a terraced house in preston". later that same year he starred in "learners", a bbc comedy drama written by and starring jessica hynes (another "doctor who" costar, in the episodes "human nature", "the family of blood" and "the end of time"), in which he played a christian driving instructor who became the object of a student's affection. "learners" was broadcast on bbc one on 11 november 2007. tennant had a cameo appearance as the doctor in the 2007 finale episode of the bbc/hbo comedy series "extras" with ricky gervais. in november 2008, tennant played sir arthur eddington in the bbc and hbo biographical film "einstein and eddington", which was filmed in cambridge and hungary. tennant was the "star in a reasonably priced car" on "top gear" in december 2007, where he claimed to have unsuccessfully auditioned for a role on "taggart" 26 times. tennant is the voice behind the 2007 advertising campaign for catalogue retailer argos, and appeared in adverts for the proclaimers' 2007 album and learndirect in june 2008. tennant also lent his voice to adverts for tesco mobile, nintendo wii, and american express.

david tennant has also made numerous cameo appearances as the doctor outside of "doctor who", frequently in spoof appearances. singer and actress charlotte church spoofs "doctor who" alongside an actor playing the tenth doctor in her own "the charlotte church show" (2006). in an appearance on "the friday night project" in 2007, tennant plays a female companion to the tenth doctor (justin lee collins) on the pink planet, where they are confronted by the alien gay lord (alan carr). when the show became "the sunday night project", catherine tate appeared in a skit playing the tenth doctor. tennant starred opposite catherine tate in her own "the catherine tate show" special (2007) as lauren cooper's (tate) teacher mr. logan, who cooper teases for his resemblance to the doctor; eventually, he reveals himself to be the tenth doctor and shrinks cooper into a 5" rose tyler action figure. in the final episode of "extras" (december 2007), a brief scene shows the doctor and an unidentified wren companion attacked by schlong, a slug-like alien played by andy millman (ricky gervais). the tenth doctor is also featured in political satire; in a 2007 episode of "dead ringers", when faced by the question of gordon brown's succession, tony blair (impressionist jon culshaw) regenerates into david tennant after promising "new labour is all about renewal", later vowing 100 more years of power. tennant modifies his first line in "the parting of the ways" ("new teeth, that's weird"), to "new labour, that's weird" and proceeds to address the public in a tony blair impression resembling culshaw's. tennant also guest voiced his incarnation of the doctor in an episode of "family guy" (2016). he later played the role in full-costume for a sketch with the muppets in a live performance at the o2 arena in 2018.
