They can write around that though. They did say that Rose could never come back after series 2, but they wrote her into series 4 all the same.Quote:

And Wilf :cheer: WOOOOOOO!
Of course they can, they're writers after all - but with Rose, she went to the parallel world and the rift was opened allowing passage - how can Donna be involved with the Doctor, fully knowing who he is, if that is the case, without being killed, which is what they said would happen.Quote:

Yeah I think its too soon and wont creat as big as a dramatic impact as Rose, but then again in my opinion no one can top rose :D
I hope this is true, I was devestated when Donna had to have her mind wiped. I loved Donna as the Doctor's sidekick - better than Rose for me sorry (ducks)
Matt Smith has been confirmed as David Tennant's successor in Doctor Who.
Aged 26, he will be the youngest ever actor to play the iconic role. His credits include political drama Party Animals and The Ruby In The Smoke, opposite former Who companion Billie Piper.
Of his casting, Smith said: "I'm flabbergasted. I haven't slept really! [Doctor Who] is an iconic part of our culture, and now I'm taking that on. It's nervewracking. Exciting. Exciting."
Smith will replace Tennant at the end of four Doctor Who specials, the last of which will air at the start of 2010. He will then go on to helm a full fifth series alongside a new companion, who is yet to be named.
Steven Moffat, who takes over from Russell T Davies as executive producer following the specials, said: "Literally from the first day, the second or third person we saw, it was him. He was spot on from the beginning.
"There is something quite old about him, so he looks quite young and old at the same time, which is important."
Tennant announced his decision to quit the long-running series in October 2008, saying that he did not want to "outstay [his] welcome". By the end of his tenure, Tennant will have appeared in three full-length series and eight specials.
Who? :lol:

Theres a coouple of pictures for you
Right Im really not sure about this guy, I dont like the look he gave the camera at the end :ninja:
Im not sure what he's going to be like :searchme:
He looks as energetic and eccentric to be the doctor, and I don't think the age matters much.
Everyone thought David Tennant would be bad as the doctor when Christopher Eccleston left, and look at him now! So I think we just have to give him a chance.

Oh, and i didn't even know who he was! I actually shouted "who the Hell are you?" at the TV! :p
Does it matter tho, if we don't know who he is?Quote:

He reminds me of that Adam from Series 2 of Torchwood. The Doctor on the whole having younger companions (Rose, Martha and Mickey and Adam if they count) will have to stop too, otherwise the companion would end up being about 15 or something!
I'm not sure about him either, although he seemed quite good in the clips they showed of him from other things.
I'm not sure about him, but then I didn't think Mr Tennant would have been able to fill Chris Eccleston boots and looked what happened there. I'll give him a chance we may even grow to like him.
Unsure about him, but mostly because he is far too young for me to lust after (but I don't find him attractive anyway - DT will remain in my heart for that for long to come :lol: )
Of course, I will give him the benefit of the doubt, until his debut etc - how many of us didn't like the thought of Catherine Tate, but loved Donna come the end.
I haven't seen him in anything before, but I trust the casting for the new Doctor will be right. He is very good looking (to me).
I think he could be good, it will be interesting, at least with him not being in anything else we have nothing to compare him to.
As soon as he came on the TV i went "Who's that?!"
But i'm actually really pleased its him, because...
I have no idea who he is :p
I didn't know who David Tennant was before he got the part, and i think thats the best thing. We have no idea what his doctor is going to be like. He isn't so famous that he is stuck in a rut in terms of his acting. He will just get on with the job and probably be very thankfull for it.
The clips they showed of his past shows looked pretty good actually.
And i really don't think his age matters that much. He'll be 28 by the time it airs anyway :p With a good actor, you should see the character, not the actor. So if he's any good, we won't notice. Plus i've seen many a person be surprised that David Tennant is in his late thirties, because he acts much younger.
So i'm very chuffed i don't know who he is. Really excited to see what he's like now! :D
I think it's time for a lady Dr Who...:p
I hope he will be good but David Tennant has raised the bar so high it will be tough, good luck to the guy but for me Dr Who just isnt going to be the same on saturday nights without my helping of DT.
i think he will be fantastic
Yeah I think it will be good having someone we dont really know cos it will be good and interesting
But watching the show last night, made me really sad cos I really dont want David to leave :(
am sooo dissapointed, the bbc should have done better than him!
He seems quite good :) Well nice, you know, i like the fact he's pretty much unknown, and the young thing doesn't bother me...watching that 10 doctors programme William Hartnall (sp) was like 50 or whatever and that seems crazy old for doctor who ... but it worked, and i think this will work :) The Doctor is a rare role which can be reinvented and part of that is being different ages. And i think if he'd have been of a similar age to David there might be more of a comparison, and i dont really think you should compare .... because its kind of a whole new role if you get me
HOWEVER i still don't think i will prefer Matt to David as David = :wub: :p
Going to wait until 2010 to pass judgement upon Matt as the doctor!
Honest answers only: How many people knew David Tennant before Doctor Who?
I vaguely remember him being on the adverts for Casanova, but thats it. He was completly unknown to me.
I am the same - I didn't watch Cassanova, but saw the occasional preview.Quote:

The point was made earlier that many dreaded Catherine Tate being the new assistant - and yet she won us over as Donna Noble. This is also very true and we shouldn't pre judge the new doctor - so far the producers haven't let us down....
I kind of um'ed and ah'ed when he first came on the screen, but i will wait till series 5 to make my mind up.
Being not only the new doctor but also the youngest actor to get the part must be a huge weight on the poor guys shoulders
I heard a rumour that one of the upcoming specials will have the doctor getting ill and having a mini regeneration into a woman until he gets better at the end of the episode, that could be why there was talk of a lady doctor, and that they wanted either catherine zeta-jones, joanna lumley or jennifer saunders for the part.Quote:

Everyone is now talking about it :p And him. There was an article about Matt in our local paper the day they annouced it, Everyone's excited. I had a conversation with a friend earlier about Doctor Who and David and Matt, and she doesn't even like it :lol: And now i'm finding out about people who know him and stuff :D
Oh and hopefully i'll be at Cardiff when this is being filmed .... WANTED EXTRA ;) :p
Aww thats the thung, I hope people forget about him for a bit so we can enjoy the rest of Davids episodes :D :p
I think they will .... David is too amazing to be forgotten :p
Despite casting a relatively unknown actor as the new Doctor Who, it seems producers aren’t against having a famous face in the show.
Lily Allen has been named as a frontrunner to take over the role as the Time Lord’s assistant.
The BBC is reportedly keen to get a showbiz name in the new series to star alongside the eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith.
Executive producer Piers Wenger explained what he was looking for in a new assistant, saying: "Someone terribly exciting like Billie Piper, who was at the beginning of her acting career but who had a profile for other reasons, would be great.
“We are looking for someone whose light can burn brightly.We would never cast anyone on the basis of their celebrity, but if Lily wanted to audition we would be delighted. It would be a lot of fun."
The Smile singer was linked to the sought-after part in 2007 but lost out to Catherine Tate.
It’s also been reported that Strictly stars Rachel Stevens and Kelly Brook are interested in the role.

Oooh ... Hmm not sure about this, who knows.
DO NOT WANT RACHEL STEVENS as the assistant.

Alll I can say is
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Don't want any of those, thank you very much.
Carol :nono:
