UPDATE:  There’s an update to this story. Tennant May Not Be Leaving Doctor Who Afterall

Original article follows below:

The Sun is reporting that David Tennant will be quitting his role as the Doctor on the hit BBC series, leaving those in charge looking for yet another replacement.

Tennant will reportedly leave the show during the middle of its fourth season. Possible replacements for the role include Robert Carlye (Trainspotting) and David Morrisey (Basic Instinct 2), both of whom share the Scottish background of Tennnt.

There has been no confirmation of the news, either by Tennant or those at BBC. If it does turn out to be true, it would make the third actor to be replaced on the series. The first Dr. Who (Christopher Eccleston) only lasted one season when he was replaced by Tennant and Billie Piper (who played the role of Rose Tyler: the Doctor’s sidekick) is being replaced by Freema Agyemen for the third season.

33. Tennant Back For Entire Fourth Season of “Doctor Who” « Your Entertainment Now - August 24, 2007 11:52 am

[…] reports that suggested Tennant would leave the new BBC hit Doctor Who after the third season (article on that here), showrunner Russell T. Davies has confirmed that the actor will portray the character for the […]

34. Angel-eyezzz-AnJ - August 30, 2007 3:13 pm

not many ppl in my school watch doctor who but i am not really afraid to show it caz most of my m8z like it (i am not a geek or anything) <<<dnt mean to be rude anyway i dnt really hink david tennant should leave the show i mean the doctor has to regenerate lots of times and he can’t really stay in the same body for long but it would still be a great show if he stayed playing as the do.ctor
why dnt the writers of doctor who actully look at this and see that the public dnt actully want him to leave? i mean the other doctors like eclston r gr8 n the make you laff too and even at the start of series 2 since the the new doctor who started i didn’t like david tennant but then when i got to watch the actual program i thought he was good and i kept watching it but i still want david to play the roll.

35. Russ T.C. - August 30, 2007 3:54 pm

Hi Angel. If you click the link above your post, you’ll see that this turned out to just be a false rumor. Tennant will be back for the entire fourth season (series).

David Tennant is a wkd Dr Who … He has done a great part in it . But if he says he wants 2 move on but we could see him more stuff :) .But we all know that he was a wkd Dr Who …
But if he think that he wants 2 move on then he can but we well still have the best Dr Who ..

As he said he would love 2 star in a Hollywood flim but that could happen but we just have 2 wait and see
