THE £1M DOCTOR
EXCLUSIVE TENNANT SIGNS UP FOR FOURTH SERIES
By Nicola Methven, Tv Editor Nicola.Methven@Mirror.Co.Uk 23/03/2007
DAVID Tennant has agreed a £1million deal to star in the fourth series of Doctor Who, it was revealed last night.
Despite false reports suggesting the 35-year-old would bow out halfway through next year's run, insiders have revealed he will film the full 13 episodes.
Delighted BBC bosses are thrilled to be keeping the Scot, who has proved a smash-hit with viewers since taking over from Christopher Eccleston last year.
They are overjoyed to have retained Tennant and writer Russell T Davies and have been impressed by new assistant Freema Agyeman, 27.
One source said: "To be honest, David was never going anywhere. He loves to create an air of mystery about his role in Doctor Who, and when he might leave, so he's happy for people to speculate about his departure.
"But the truth is he's finished filming the third series and he's signed a contract to appear in the whole of the next series. That will see him filming throughout 2008. It's brilliant for the show and the fans."
Rumours Tennant had quit were sparked when he told a magazine he had made a decision over when to leave. But he added: "It's judging the right moment to go. Anything can happen. Everything can change."
A BBC spokeswoman said: "It's too early to talk about the fourth series yet."
The third series beings on BBC1 on March 31 with the Doctor battling to get over losing Rose, played by Billie Piper. He and medical student Martha flirt heavily, and he travels across the universe for a date as she coyly tells him: "I only go for humans."
But viewers will see the Doctor fall in love with ANOTHER earthling, played by Royle Family favourite Jessica Stevenson. Poor Martha is gutted as he becomes so smitten he almost gives up time travel to get married - until everything goes wrong.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RTD is obsessed with sex and the Doctor falling in love with either his companion or someone else. He calls himself a fan?
? The man shouldn't be allowed anywhere near it. The longer this goes on the further away it becomes from what Dr Who and the Doctor is.
