Early Acting Roots
From her earliest days on screen to her latest behind-the-scenes credits, Georgia Tennant has grown up in the spotlight. Born Georgia Elizabeth Moffett in 1984, she’s the daughter of actors Peter Davison and Sandra Dickinson. Her first big break came in 2008, when she guest-starred in Doctor Who opposite her future husband, David Tennant. Since then, she’s amassed acting credits on shows like Murder in Suburbia and Strictly Confidential, while also stepping into producer roles on series such as Good Omens.
Balancing Five Children And Career
In a new exclusive feature, Tennant opens up about life as both mother and working professional. She and David Tennant welcomed their first child in 2011 and now parent five youngsters under the age of nine. Despite the chaos of school runs, rehearsals and production meetings, she says she manages to carve out moments of calm and connection.
As she revealed in a recent Instagram post marking 17 years since she and David first became a couple, family remains her anchor.

Tennant describes motherhood as her “most challenging and rewarding role yet.” Every day brings a new lesson in patience, creativity and flexibility—qualities she credits for helping her tackle demanding production schedules.
Self-belief And Comic Timing
Beyond her family of five, Tennant is celebrated for her sharp wit and impeccable comic timing. In the interview, she traces that instinct back to growing up backstage with professional actors. She recalls observing the improvisation skills on set and then testing them out with her own kids around the kitchen table. Those spontaneous moments, she explains, have honed her ability to read a scene and deliver a laugh on cue.
She also opens up about self-belief as a driving force. With so many projects on her plate—from starring roles to producing gigs—Tennant says maintaining confidence has meant learning to say no, trusting her instincts and celebrating small victories. “Every time I step into a role—on screen or at home—I remind myself that I’ve earned this,” she tells our reporter. That mantra helps her face new challenges, whether prepping for a red-carpet gala or juggling back-to-back tapings.
Behind The Scenes Impact
Off camera, Tennant has earned praise for championing female voices in production. She’s involved in development meetings, script edits and casting decisions, often drawing on her experiences as both creator and parent. Industry insiders note her collaborative approach and wry sense of humor make her a natural leader on set.
Looking ahead, she teases projects spanning drama, comedy and family-friendly storytelling. Yet no matter how busy her schedule, Tennant insists her five children—and her partnership with David—remain her top priority.
No matter what the next role brings, Georgia Tennant proves that balancing a bustling family and a thriving career is possible when self-belief and a little comic flair come first.
