It is with great sadness that I today deliver the news that David Tennant has announced he’d be stepping down as Doctor Who prior to the 2010 season. Tennant will be a part of the four specials which will air throughout 2009 beginning with the annual Christmas special this December.

Who-vians will remember that the reason behind the decision not to have a full season in 2009 was made due to Tennant wishing to work in the theater. Makes one wonder exactly how enthralled the behind-the-scenes staff was with his departure notice.

It’s not clear as to who will be filling the role post-2010 but there have been several names mentioned. Robert Carlyle, my favorite choice, seems to be out of the running. Russell Tovey and James Nesbitt are the two most recent names linked to the role. Hopefully we’ll find out soon!
