Inevitable, but still bollocks...
"David has announced that he is leaving Doctor Who during his acceptance speech at tonight's National Television Awards.
Speaking live from the Courtyard Theatre in Stratford Upon Avon David explained that he will be returning to Cardiff in January 2009 to film the 2009 Doctor Who specials, but when the show returns for a new series in 2010 it will be without him as the Doctor.
David said: "I’ve had the most brilliant, bewildering and life-changing time working on Doctor Who. I have loved every day of it.
It would be easy to cling on to the Tardis console but I fear that if I don’t take a deep breath and make the decision to move on now, I never will.
You would be prising the Tardis key out of my cold dead hand. This show has been so special to me, I don’t want to outstay my welcome."
He added: "This is all a long way off, of course. I’m not quitting, I’m back in January to film four special episodes which will take Doctor Who all the way through 2009. I’m still the Doctor all next year but when the time finally comes I’ll be honoured to hand on the best job in the world to the next lucky git, whoever that may be. I feel very privileged to have been part of this incredible phenomenon. I’m looking forward to new challenges but I’ll always be proud to be the 10th Doctor." |

Oh no :o( I can't believe it. I really hoped he would at least do season 5!
The show will never be the same again without him. |

I love the comical timing on the announcement.
"When Doctor Who returns in 2009..."
*Single girl screams "YEAH!" in the silent room*
"...it will be without me."
Bet that girl felt stupid!
Nominate Bill Bailey for next Doctor Who!

No, David, no, I'm gonna miss you so bad!!!! I love the tenth Doctor and I can't imagine it going on without him, though it always have. There were lots of people crying when Christopher Ecclestone left but now I think they're all stunned by David Tennant because that man is a f****ing sexy genius! <333
Well well, the show must go on, with or without him! :( |

I know! I suppose we still have the vague possibility of a human doctor/rose appearance one day... maybe?? |
