Tennant steps down as The Doctor.

I liked Tennant for a while, but I started to get sick of him --- especially this past season and some of season-3

I'm actually glad he's leaving.

Oh, great! (sarcastically said)
I could never get into Doctor Who before (too "British-TV" for my tastes) but I loved this latest version. Got hooked on it. I thought Tennant was great.
Guess I won't be watching it any more now.

I'd love to see the next Doctor be someone a bit older and perhaps more like the Classic Doctors.
Now that the new series is a hit, they can afford to let the Doctor be the Doctor -- and not some wild kid.

I totally agree. I love Tennant's energy and youthfulness, but going back to the older, more "doctor-like" figure, would be great....

But Dickinson not being an actor would rule him out, right?

Btw: in that shot, he seems to be thinking: "Shouldn't have sold my dentures in that last edition of Bargain Hunt...."

My vote goes to Dave Dickinson formerly of Bargain Hunt.

I like him because he reminds me of my fav Doctor, Jon Pertwee

David Tennant announced he was quitting the show after the specials, so we'll have a new Doctor for season 5. You can read about it here;

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | David Tennant quits as Doctor Who

Aside from the actors mentioned in the article, Sean Pertwee and Robert Carlyle have also been linkd to the role.

Who would you like to see take over? Personally, I'd love to see Bill Nighy in the role.
