David Tennant made a dramatic entrance to the BAFTAs on Sunday night, and he came armed with Michael Sheen's dog.

In the amusing open sketch above, the Doctor Who star and host of the awards show takes a series of Zoom calls with different celebrities – including Tom Hiddleston and Dame Judy Dench – in an attempt to persuade them to look after Sheen's dog, after his Good Omens co-star forced him to keep a previously arranged dog-sitting commitment.

In the end, when nobody can help, there's only one thing for it: Keep the hosting gig, and bring the dog.
