Well I really liked Chris Eccleston, and I was gutted when he left. It's taken me a while, but I've grown to like David Tennent this year, and I was shocked to see an article in yesterdays paper suggesting he will leave next year :thumbsdown:

From the Sun newspaper:
DR Who star David Tennant is to quit the show - leaving BBC bosses looking for their 11th Timelord, The Sun can reveal.

David, 35, will leave in the middle of the fourth series.

The Scot is still filming the third series of the sci-fi favourite, which is set to be shown in the spring.

He has told the Beeb he will return the following year — but will not do the entire nine-month shoot. David has been bombarded with film offers after appearing in the last Harry Potter movie.

Producers are keen to get another Scot, Trainspotting star Robert Carlyle, 45, to step in.

They are also talking to David Morrisey, who was in BBC drama Blackpool with Tennant, as well as in Basic Instinct 2.

Tennant became Dr Who when Christopher Eccleston quit after one series. David stars with newcomer Freema Agyeman in the third series. She replaces Billie Piper, who left this year.

David refused to deny he was quitting when asked earlier this month, insisting he was "non-committal" about his plans.

He joked: "From the moment I accepted this job, everyone said, 'When are you leaving?' A boy could get a complex!" A Dr Who spokesman declined to comment

Outpost Gallifrey had this to say about it:

The Thursday issue of the Sun is reporting that David Tennant is to quit the title role of Doctor Who midway through the fourth series. The story is headlined on the front page with the article on page five.

It is worth stressing that, so far, this story is unconfirmed, and Tennant and the production team are still working on the forthcoming third series. A fourth series is yet to be officially commissioned by the BBC, but assuming it goes ahead, it wouldn't be due to hit our screens until Spring 2008 and would mark Tennant's third season in the role. Tennant's first complete story was in the Christmas special 2005

The BBC has denied this rumour although there is now another rumour which has not been substantiated that a Jason Statham will replace David Tennant next year:
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/03012007/364/statham-new-doctor.html
"Statham to be new Doctor Who? Wednesday January 3, 02:35 PM By WENN

Jason Statham has reportedly been offered the title role in the next series of Doctor Who.

The Crank star is allegedly being lined up as the 11th Doctor in the hit BBC show amid rumours current Time Lord David Tennant is quitting the role.

A TV source tells The People, "It will be Doctor Who meets gangland. He will do a lot more thinking with his fists and will be a sure-fire winner with the ladies.

"Doctor Who is still seen as a bit geeky but Jason will add sex appeal and give the character a more dangerous edge.""
