I'm not suprised. The rumour machine has been rumbling for ages and with the decision that there is no new series but a series of specialsfor 2009 pretty much confirmed it.
I like him too, but if they don't change doctors periodically the story loses something. I'm interested to see who will be next. Of course, with no cable, and no BBC here, I have to wait until the library gets DVDs to check out. We are just now watching Tennant's first year.
I hope SciFi runs all of his again, in order, in a short timespan - I have missed a bunch, and never know if I'm seeing them in order. And none of our rental places get them - this definitely is NOT Dr. Who territory....
As I was telling Stephen the most recent series was the most powerful and in some ways the three episode finale wrapped up what had been happening for the past four seasons (all of new Who).
To get the full impact of the finale you really really need to have watched all the episodes, at the very minimum all of the Season Four episodes, in order.
That's why I felt so lost there on the last show - I could only partly play along, and was thinking that I had missed a lot more than I thought. I didn't even know the finale was 3 episodes. Not well advertised here, either, apparently. GGGRRRRR.... I don't remember enough of the original series - I basically remember having seen it, and it was one of a few British shows that were on TV here in the afternoons after school let out. Too long ago now.
They could always do a re-run of the original series; you know, the one with Patrick Troughton as Dr Who and of course,. it was in black and white. SURELY you ALL remember!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A few years ago now the ABC (Aust version of BBC) ran *all* still existing episodes of Dr Who from William Hartnell all the way through to the end of Sylvester McCoy and (although that took a few years, playing one 30 min episode Mon-Fri) it timed in nicely to end a few weeks before Christopher Eccelson's New Who started.
For some reason those they did not/could not show the Dalek episodes. Apparently copyright for those episodes was held by someone else?

he said if he didn't leave "now", he'd be carried out in his bath chair...I don't see a problem with that LOL.
Just Who can replace Dr Who we ask?
Wow, I'm really disappointed. I loved David Tennant!!
