Scottish actor David Tennant in Glasgow for world premiere of his latest film

Broadchurch actor David Tennant was in Glasgow last night for the world premiere of his latest film.

He plays Glasgow born psychiatrist R.D. Laing in 'Mad to Be Normal', which tells the story of this controversial figure who treated some patients with the drug LSD.

The screening brought the curtain down on the 13th Glasgow Film Festival.

He talked to our Chief Reporter Linda Sinclair about being a student in Glasgow and his hometown of Paisley's bid to become UK City of Culture 2021.

A number of fans waited to catch a glimpse of the actor and broke out in a rendition of "Singing in the Rain" as a sudden sleety and rainy down pour hit the Glasgow streets.

Our reporter got caught out in it too.

Our Chief Reporter Linda Sinclair talked to him about the film, Paisley's City of Culture bid 2021 and The Broons, randomly.

He stopped to talk to crowds of fans, taking selfies and signing autographs after he arrived at the Glasgow Film Theatre.

The movie also stars Sir Michael Gambon, Elisabeth Moss and Gabriel Byrne.

Director Robert Mullan talked to our Chief Reporter Linda Sinclair about how despite R.D. Laing being from Glasgow they didn't shoot in the city.

The former Doctor Who star, who studied drama at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow from 1988 to 1991, then known as the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, frequented the Glasgow Film Theatre during his studies.

He said: "I'm so chuffed we're at the Glasgow Film Theatre, this is where I came as a student, so this feels like a bit of a full circle for me.

"I hope he (RD Laing) would be very pleased - I hope he would be pleased about the film and I'm sure he would be pleased we were in Glasgow to premiere it.

"He was a complicated man but he was a fascinating man so he is someone that I was completely entranced by and fascinated by and I just hope we have done him justice.''

Earlier this month, Tennant said he would back Scottish independence in a second referendum, despite previously keeping quiet on the issue.

Speaking at the premiere, the 45-year-old said: "The thing is, I don't live in Scotland and I don't get a vote so there's nothing I say that is relevant.

"I can have an opinion but it shouldn't influence anyone.

"I'm passionate about Scotland, I would love to continue living in the same country, but at the same time I can appreciate the appeal of remaining in Europe - it's a difficult one.''

The GFF has hosted more than 300 events and screenings since its opening on February 15.

About 40,000 people attended the 2016 festival, with organisers expecting a similar audience to have attended this year.
