David Tennant talking about Billie’s last day of filming (The Satan Pit) vs. his own last day of filming (The End of Time).
“When we did the final scene of The Satan Pit, which was the last thing we shot of series two, and Billie was leaving, that was very emotional.” - David Tennant
Longer answer: I assume this is in reference to the In-Vision commentary [ gifs post here including a link to the videos ] where David, along with writer/showrunner Russell T. Davies and producer Phil Collinson were talking about the episode, and RTD said the kiss was unscripted (and David played along). That was a very much tongue-in-check comment.
RTD has said, in various commentaries and interviews, that he liked having a kiss in certain episodes because that’s what got them covered in the papers - and being in the papers (back then at least) is what got viewers to tune in in bigger numbers.
I do love those Doctor Who commentary tracks though (especially when there’s some combination of David, Russell, Phil, Julie, Billie, Catherine, Freema, etc on the track - and it’s even better when you get more than one of them together, because it’s clear that they loved that show so much, and it’s fun to listen to them)
