David Tennant Sure Sounds Like He’s Done With Doctor Who for a Long Time

Screenshot: BBCDavid Tennant is the most popular actor to play the Doctor of the modern era—arguably, brushing up against Tom Baker’s fourth incarnation to be the most popular of them all, full stop—so it’s no surprise that he’s kept slowly but surely returning as Doctor Who celebrates its big birthdays over the last decade.

Doctor Who Saved Its Biggest Gift for Itself

For a show that is often so optimistically forward thinking—and where change is baked into its hearts—Doctor Who often has a bittersweet view of its own past. Heroes and friends come and go, goodbyes are frequent and brief, and a lot of them are permanent, especially when part of the key to its longevity is that its main character dies every few years. But as a wise Time Lord once said, every once in a while, just occasionally, everybody lives.'Even AI Rappers are Harassed by Police' | AI Unlocked“The Giggle,” the third…

Doctor Who’s 60th Anniversary Doesn’t Need Cameos to Be Special
