Well all I can say is that although it's a shame he won't be doing the first year of Moffat's reign I think he's doen the right thing. I don't blame him to be honest, he'd be mad to turn down Broadway.

Wonder who's next? I'd like to see Bill Bailey be the next Doctor, or the next Villain mastermind Laughing

Outpost Gallifrey forums have gone into meltdown, as can be expected Laughing
I know and I'm quite pleased that I broke the story on The Doctor Who Forum, I'm rplon on there by the way.

It's on the BBC website now.

Oh right, I thought I hadn't seen Cylon6 on there, I'm Johnny 1989 on there BTW Laughing

Yes, thanks to the Guardian's slip us Who fans got the heads up before all of those screaming girls on NTA they're reaction made me laugh.

I expect a slight fall in viewers once he's gone Laughing

I wonder, if for Tennant's final story, the viewing figures will exceed the viewing figures for City Of Death (was that the highest viewed episode ever?)

Unfortunately I don't think any new episode will ever beat those ratings.. 'City of Death' managed 16 million viewers at the peak, and that was only because of an ITV strike was it not? So BBC were the only people transmitting anything at all.

Ah that's it, well, they were close with Voyage Of The Damned (14 million)

However I think your right, I forgot the ITV strike was on back then. Laughing

Well that was a turn up for the books - hadn't read the news beforehand so it was a bit of shock when he announced it live!

Not a bad day to do it really, should reduce the column inches for Wossy and Brand a bit in tomorrow's papers.

Yep - we can discount therefore any strong, funny and quirky black guys, Asians or people with one leg. Dr Who will always be a middle-class white guy.

Oh that's you? Pleasure to make your acquaintance! Very Happy

I think it's a real shame Tennant won't be around for Moffat's first series, their pairing would have been gold. Personally I'm with you on this one, ratings might dip for the new Doctor and then build up with good word of mouth. My choice for new Doctor would be David Morrissey.

You'd think but Ross and Brand are all over the front pages, on another day Doctor Who would be the big story.
