So, for anyone who hasn't already found out, David Tennant has confirmed what we've all known for ages, that he is leaving nuWho after the specials. Speculation is rife all over LJ about who will/should replace him: I've commented here and there that someone who is capable of playing the Doctor would be nice. As in older, not a sexpot, damn well upper class British thank you so very much, not prone to sexual entanglements with other species, and able to convey that s/he is not a doormat or a scapegoat. I have had the hangdog look up to here.
We'll see what happens.

Personaly, I hope that rather than some silly handwaving fudge, they actually make it a serious moral dilemma... Not for the Doctor himself, but for one of his friends. "You *can* save him... But there are only three known methods of doing it, all of which require somebody else to die." And maybe the friend sacrificies him/herself, or maybe they manage to find a fourth way... Or maybe they don't, and put him into the body of some minor villain's side-kick while he (the Doctor) is unconscious, and then have to lie to him afterwards about how they did it to cover up the fact that the body donor was not actually a volunteer, but went down kicking and screaming...
And the person who finally breaks the news to him, of course, is the Master. =:o}
