Tennant Confirmed As The New Doctor

 
David Tennant is confirmed as the tenth Doctor Who. Tennant, whose recent credits include BBC THREE's critically-acclaimed drama series 'Casanova', will star alongside Billie Piper who returns as Rose Tyler for the second series.

The new Doctor David Tennant says: "I am delighted, excited and honoured to be the tenth Doctor! I grew up loving Doctor Who and it has been a lifelong dream to get my very own TARDIS. Russell T Davies is one of the best writers television has ever had, and I'm chuffed to bits to get the opportunity to work with him again. I'm also really looking forward to working with Billie Piper who is so great as Rose. Taking over from Chris is a daunting prospect; he has done a fantastic job of reinventing the Doctor for a new generation and is a very tough act to follow."
Doctor Who's Regeneration
The executive producer/writer of Doctor Who is Russell T Davies - the man behind BBC THREE's smash hit drama serial 'Casanova'. No stranger to David Tennant's work, he confirmed his delight at the prospect of working with the actor again adding, "I'm already writing David's first new adventure on board the TARDIS!"

He also has a word for the departing actor observing, "Christopher Eccleston's wonderful Doctor has reinvented the role, so that it now appeals to the best actors in the land. Regeneration is a huge part of the programme's mythology, and I'm delighted that new, young viewers can now have the complete Doctor Who experience, as they witness their hero change his face!"
