TENNANT RECOVERING AFTER BACK SURGERY

DOCTOR WHO star DAVID TENNANT has taken his first steps on the road to recovery after enduring surgery for a slipped disc.
The Scottish actor endured a procedure to correct the injury on Thursday (11Dec08) and was pictured taking his first steps in public in East London on Wednesday (17Dec08).
Tennant was forced to withdraw from his starring role in Hamlet until the next year (09) to allow himself to recover from the painful procedure.
The actor was said to be devastated after pulling out of the performances and has branded his enforced absence "hugely disappointing".
Tennant's run in the play is due to finish on 10 January (09).
