| | |  Potter star confirmed as next Dr. Who
It was previously said that both David Tennant (Barty Crouch Jnr) and David Thewlis (Lupin) were actors being considered to be the next Doctor in Dr. Who. The BBC have confirmed that David Tennant will take the role.
Julie Gardner, BBC Head of Drama, Wales said, "David Tennant is a great actor who will build on the excellent work already done by Christopher in establishing Doctor Who for a new generation."
David Tennant, has said, "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."
A new 13-part adventure and Christmas special begins filming in Cardiff in the Summer.

I'm pleased either way. 'Casanova' convinced me that he's capable of being quirky and having that unplottable attractiveness. I just hope we don't see the Dr. topless -- did you see that scary chest hair?! LOL
Note: Wales & Cardiff *grins* Sarah will be pleased. We should meet up and stalk the trailers when they start filming. hahaha | |

I would've preferred Thewlis but what with Potter 5 and a baby on the way, I don't think he could've done it. It would've meant being away from his new born baby and girlfriend for months on end 'cause filming's in Cardiff and he lives in London.
*sigh* I could so have seen Thewlis running out of the Tardis. | |

Could not have picked a better man!
He certainly can portray the right Doctor Who attitude as seen from his Casanova series!
Trap me in a box with him and throw away the key....   | |

I think that is probably his best feature - I like it! He is a bit skinny and ratty looking, but I think has got that crazy, energetic way about him to be a good 'Doctor' | |

| It's an institution most of us are too young to remember. The US will however be getting the current series of Dr. Who later this year. The second series is the one in which David Tennant will star. Quote: |
