After four years of fighting Cybermen, Daleks, Centaurans, the Devil, and many things supernatural and alien, David Tennant will retire his roll as the time lord on the popular BBC sci-fi show, "Doctor Who". (You may have known him as Barty Crouch Jr. from "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire also) He announced this live at the National Television Awards. He said he will leave at the end of the production of the 2009 specials.
In a BBC news article, Tennant states that "I've had the most brilliant, bewildering and life changing time working on Doctor Who. I have loved every day of it,It would be very easy to cling on to the TARDIS console forever and I fear that if I don't take a deep breath and make the decision to move on now, then I simply never will. ... I'm still the Doctor all next year but when the time finally comes I'll be honoured to hand on the best job in the world to the next lucky git - whoever that may be." Tennant added that he "always thought the time to leave would be in conjunction with Russell T Davies and Julie Gardner who have been such a huge part of it all for me. Steven Moffat is the most brilliant and exciting writer, the only possible successor to Russell and it was sorely tempting to be part of his amazing new plans for the show. I will be there, glued to my TV when his stories begin in 2010." He furthermore says that he feels "very privileged to have been part of this incredible phenomenon, and whilst I'm looking forward to new challenges I know I'll always be very proud to be the Tenth Doctor."
This is some pretty sad news to many, but we still have 5 more hours of Doctor Who with David Tennant as our beloved time lord. One a good note, Russel T. Davies says that they are planning "the most enormous and spectacular ending." Which should be expected for this great time lord.
I wish Tennant my luck in all the other things in which he has worked, and i would like to thank him for giving us one of the most amusing time lords in Doctor Who history. David Tennant, you will be missed.
