Yeah, I agree Tennant is great. I don't think I'd want anyone to replace him (unless it was Chris ).

Well... he's got three regenerations left, so they've still got a bit of flexibility left about who they cast as the next Doctor, when the time finally comes...

If The Master was any indication they're quite willing to be flexible with the whole Regeneration deal. Should they ever get to that point I would imagine they would find a way to get around it.

Indeed, I was just thinking of that... Such is the convenience of sci-fi, especially when you've got time-bending and almost immortal aliens

[Nod]

Exactly! That's what is so good about sci-fi, the almost limitless scope...

David Tennant is an awesome Doctor; I just can't watch Catherine Tate

I still think they should get rid of him soonish. I love him as the Doctor and all, but you can't just keep chucking his assistants out. The Doctor will, inevitably, put himself in a situation from which he cannot escape alive.

Of course, with a Time Lord, the definition of alive is fairly flexible.

I dont think they should kill off their doctors too quickly. They want to prolong the time before we get to the "wow this thing thats never been used before for some obscure reason will give you more lives!!!" plot. I personally think the 8th doctor's movie was a waste. One adventure and he's gone. And if the situation arises where theres a bad Doctor like the 6th one, they'll probably want to cut that season short so they can get a new one and they might want a few to spare in case that happens.

Agreed. Christopher Eccleston was terrific, but he left after a single season to avoid getting typecast...
It's kinda weird: The Doctor's about nine centuries old, but it seems he spent several hundred years in his first 'incarnation', and only started dying/regenerating regularly once the BBC started making a tv show about him

well yeah, the master on a few occasions stole someother body to rejuvinate his lives. however, i think thats a bit too evil for the doctor
