Yay?

Last year Tennant won the National Television Award for most popular actor. The BBC has such confidence in that popularity that it has given him time off to play Hamlet, a commitment that rules out a Doctor Who series for 2009. Instead, there will be three bank holiday specials spread through next year, with a fifth full series reaching our screens in 2010, to which Tennant is already informally committed.

Well according to the BBC Web site, DT is in all of the specials for 2009, but beyond that there has been no official word I've heard of. I hope he continues for one more series after the specials before retiring the pin-stripped suit.

It would be good to have one element of continuity with the whole production team shake-up. It'd be tough to change that much of the show at once - even with an off-year. I'd love it if he'd stay, but I wouldn't blame him for calling it quits, either.
