Play for better budget? Their current budget has to be 1000% greater that the entire Dr. Who budget from the 60s through the 90s. That probaby came to no more than £100000 and they had to pay the cast and writers out of that.

Long live the Doctor. My Timelord and Savior.

@ragutis

You could be right, I’m only repeating what’s going around the set and what crew have been told.

In fact, I hope you are right as I would be disappointed to see the new series end after only 4 iterations. (or 4.5)

Truthfully, I would not be surprised to find this was a monetary issue and a play for a better budget.

The spoiler text was properly hidden when I read the RSS feed with Thunderbird, FWIW.

If Saunders is the Doctor, should Dawn French be the companion? That would ROCK!

Dr. Who has been a staple of British Television since the ’60’s. It continues to grow in popularity throughout the world. I really cannot see this show being canceled anytime soon. It’s good to know that Tennant has committed to continuing. I posted a response earlier about a post I read at Slice Of Sci-Fi, where it was stated that he would not be continuing after 2009. For some reason, Alex’s post did not appear until after I posted my later response. (At least I didn’t see it.) I wonder if a Major Motion picture if going to be in the works anytime soon?

@ Chris Sherwood:

You may have some known information mixed up. It’s already been announced that after series 4, there will be a hiatus year (2009). IIRC, this was to allow Tennant time for other projects. However, he has committed to several specials for that year, so count it series 4.5. I haven’t seen any reports about series 5 being in doubt, and even Tennant (in the link in Alex’s post above) is certainly implying a series 5 for him to be enigmatic about his role in. There’s lots of questions: Tennant’s return, the companion situation, Davies’ role, but little doubt of a series 5 in 2010. Canceling Doctor Who now would be about as dumb a move as the Beeb could make.

Rumour on the set is that series 4 will be the last one, followed by a year off after which there will be 2 or 3 TV movies to tie up the loose ends.

Expresses sadness.
