David Tennant quits as Dr Who

David Tennant has announced he is quitting the BBC's Doctor Who series at the end of next year.

Tennant's decision brings to an end his popular four-year tenure as the time lord [tenth doctor].

He made the announcement while collecting the Outstanding Drama Performance gong at the National Television Awards.

Tennant said: "When Dr Who returns in 2010 it won't be with me.

"Now don't make me cry. The 2009 shows will be my last playing the doctor. "I love this part. If I don't take a deep breath and move on now I never will."
