Sunday July 6,2008

As the latest series of the sci-fi drama drew to a spectacular conclusion last night, a BBC source revealed that the popular Scottish actor would remain at the controls of the Tardis at least until the end of next year.

The source said: “David has *definitely signed to play Doctor Who in three specials which will be shown next year. There will also be a Christmas special this year.

“The next full series of Doctor Who will be shown in 2010.”

Millions tuned in to BBC1 for last night’s finale after the penultimate show ended on a cliffhanger which saw the Doctor shot by a Dalek and apparently starting the process of regeneration.


Writer and executive producer Russell T Davies swore cast and crew to secrecy so the ending was kept confidential.

Davies announced in May that Bafta-winning writer Steven Moffat would take over from him as lead writer and executive producer from 2010.

Davies, 45, who has been at the helm since the show came back on air in 2005 following a nine-year absence from TV, admitted that he found it frustrating that people *constantly tried to reveal the show’s secrets.

Good to have confirmation. I'd heard rumors stating this but it's nice to have it straight from the source.

Hmmm. Now do you suppose RTD is talking about insiders trying to give away stuff or just general fans with spoilers. Cause he's got to know how rabid Sci-Fi fans (and Who fans) can be.

In fairness, this was confirmed last year by Tennant himself. Good old Express keeping up with the latest info...

And RTD... fool. He himself gave away Davros last year in an episode of Confidential, saying that there was only one big bad left to bring back and that's who it'd be in season 4. Oh well, RTD = Master of Misinformation! ;)
