Tennant leaving Who Doctor Who star David Tennant has announced that he will be leaving the series after the completion of the four specials slated to air in 2009. The announcement means that Tennant will depart the series at the same time as executive producer Russell T. Davies, who revived the series in 2004. New executive producer Stephen Moffat's first job will be to replace Tennant, who's played the Doctor for three seasons.
"I've had the most brilliant, bewildering and life changing time working on Doctor Who," Tennant said in his announcement. "I have loved every day of it. It would be very easy to cling on to the TARDIS console forever and I fear that if I don't take a deep breath and make the decision to move on now, then I simply 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." The first of Tennant's final appearances as the Doctor will be this year's Christmas special. It's ironically entitled "The Next Doctor," and will co-star David Morrissey and Dervla Kirwan.
