David Tennant quits

That is a thought. I was talking on MSN last night to someone from another forum who told me about David Tennant quitting. No one ever thought Rose or Donna would be back and we were surprised by them, so he could appear as the Human Doctor one day. The only way a Doctor's been able to come back before was in that Time Crash special thing.

I didn't watch when the Doctor regenerated the last time, but I think it'll be harder for us to adjust to someone else taking over as Chris only did one series and David will have done three plus the specials.

I don't know if I'll be watching after David Tennant goes. I'm not keen on Moffat for putting the Doctor with random women anyway and then he slagged off Rose like that and said Billie Piper couldn't come back again.

Layne I'm surprised you haven't posted in that thread about Donna coming back yet. I don't think you have anyway.

He always said that he would like it to be a clean slate. No more Rose, Donna, Martha, Jack, no one. It wouldn't surprise me if the companion from series 5 is someone from the specials, but it definately won't be a past companion.

David Morrisey is still a name that is being thrown around a lot for the 11th Doctor. He is in the Christmas special (Called 'The Next Doctor') and he is playing the Doctor. Rumour is that the Doctor will meet a future incarnation, rather than a past one which has happened in the past.

Personally, i'd rather it was someone more unknown. David Tennant was only really known for Casanova when he got the part, and he worked really well. Billie Piper and Freema Agyeman were unknown in the acting world, John Barrowman wasn't that famous on screen, and Catherine Tate was famous for her comedy, rather than acting. So really, only Christopher Ecclestone was an established film/screen actor. Getting someone more unknown to do it (Like Jonas Armstong, even) would be best i think.

David Tennant was never going to hang around forever. I did wonder if he would do another series, as many of the old doctors went on for years, but i don't think its that realistic considering that he is a stage actor, and doing Hamlet probably makes him want to go back to that again. Him leaving won't make me stop watching, because its a TV show that thrives on change. And come on, Steven Moffat is going to be writing it. No matter who the actors are, its bound to be amazing with his writing.

Also found that there's 4 specials plus the Christmas one for this year.

HAHA - is it that obvious i love her! I posted this earlier in the thread

YEH CATHERINE TATE AS DOCTOR DONNA

And this was from the other thread

I am glad i love Catherine Tate as Donna, although i do get where everyone is coming saying its a bit soon - her dramaticy exit and then all of a sudden she is back - although no complaining
And Wilf WOOOOOOO!

I am glad as i LOVE her Wondering how they will do it, and i am a bit :| because her exit was heartbreaking - but im sure they will do it in a tasteful way

I agree Abi; i think someone unknown/not very well known will be good Works better, and new companion too, or maybe one thats been in the specials, i don't want an old companion ALTHOUGH Captain Jack should come back for a bit
