David Tennant quits Doctor Who
The announcement that many Doctor Who fans had been expecting and most had been dreading has finally been made. Last night, live on The National Television Awards, David Tennant, the Tenth Doctor, accepted the award for outstanding drama performance - and then told viewers that he is quitting the show.
In an intervew with the BBC, the 37-year-old Scottish actor described his three-series stint as "the most extraordinary time, it's been bewildering, life changing, very exciting," and explained, "I don't ever want it to feel like a job, so I want to move on when it still feels exciting and fresh and that means I'll miss it."
Tennant will appear in the Doctor Who Christmas episode, The Next Doctor, alongside David Morrissey, and in four specials next year, before handing the keys to the Tardis to…Who knows?
RadioTimes.com's resident Who expert William Gallagher gave his top tip for the new Doctor: "The odds are it will be an unknown, as David Tennant was, but if it is someone well known, I'd put money on Steven Moffat casting his old Coupling star, Richard Coyle."
Meanwhile, Russell T Davies has his own favourite and one of the major bookies has come up with this top ten of possible replacements for Tennant:
Patterson Joseph - 3/1
David Morrissey - 5/1
James Nesbitt - 6/1
John Simm - 8/1
Russell Tovey - 10/1
Anthony Head - 10/1
Richard E Grant - 14/1
Robert Carlyle - 14/1
Alan Davies - 16/1
Jason Statham - 18/1
So what do you think? Are you sad to see Tennant go? And who do you think should replace him? Post a comment below.

David Tennant in talks over Doctor Who film
Actor said to want movie clause in contract
David Tennant is apparently in negotiations to play the lead in a Doctor Who flick.
The actor is currently only confirmed to appear in a Christmas episode and four specials next year.
But it is thought David, 37, will agree to make a full fifth series in 2010 if a movie is included in the deal.
‘It looks like the film is going to happen in the next few years,’ a source tells The Sun.
‘For ages, BBC Worldwide held the rights and were planning to make a movie.
'But it got held up and former BBC1 boss Lorraine Heggessey decided to bring back the TV series in 2005.
‘But everyone is keen now and the fans are clamouring.
'Part of David’s conundrum is that he wants to do films, so this looks like it would solve both issues.’
Bosses have reportedly offered David a £1.5million contract.
