Dr Who season 4 finale and David Tennant

It is approximately one more day before I’ll be able to watch the Doctor Who S4 finale. I promise not to spoil myself before I get to watch the episode. It is so tempting to do so because I really really really want to know if David Tennant is going to stay. He mustn’t leave. When I first watched Doctor Who (2005) last year, I got used to Christopher Eccleston’s (a.k.a the Invisible Man Claude in Heroes) and was surprised to find out that he regenerated into Tennant in the 1st season’s finale. I love Eccleston’s portrayal but perhaps one season wasn’t enough to keep me hooked enough.Then came Tennant and he really brought the game up. While the 9th Doctor was a cynical and streetwise (?) one, Tennant’s version is childlike, curious, empathetic, suave, all combined together. Tennant cannot go now! This time I really hope it’s one of Russell Davies’ tricks to megaboost the ratings for the series and we’ll still have Tennant for season 5.T____________T

David Tennant no longer Dr Who (Cries)

Just thought I might add - though you probably know already - that David Tennant won’t be playing the doctor anymore (I assume for 2009 series) and its going to be some man - whose name escapes me - who used to (ironically) go to my university. Not that I know him or anything. Its a shame Tennant is leaving, but he’s such a good actor maybe hes going to try getting into big movies and hollywood films etc which might be good.

Yes, I found out about this

Yes, I found out about this last year. The replacement is Matt Smith who seems pretty promising. But I’ll miss Tennant and have to take comfort in the remaining four specials to be shown this year. :(
