According to the Hollywood Reporter, the BBC is refusing to deny various press reports saying that David Tennant will be leaving the show Doctor Who after the current season finishes filming.

"He is totally committed to filming the third series, which goes on air next spring, but it's too early to say anything about any future series," a BBC spokeswoman said. "I don't think a fourth series has even been commissioned yet, although there probably will be one."

Multiple British tabloids have suggested that Tennant plans to leave the show following this year.


KJ's Take:  Wow.  That would be too bad, Tenant is a very talented actor and the show wouldn't be the same without him.  Then again, the replaced his assistant, and they will replace him if he leaves.  Show must go on as they say.
