Rumour: David Tennant Back as “Next” Doctor

Via

According to rumours, David Tennant, who played the Tenth Doctor between 2005 and 2010, has been cast as the next Doctor.

And if the circulating rumours are to be believed it would make the Scottish actor the first and only actor to play two incarnations of the Timelord.

The tip off was spotted on a Facebook fan page, in which a user suggested a credible BBC source had leaked the information.

The user claims this source is the same person who leaked the casting of Sacha Dhawan as the Doctor’s nemesis, The Master, in series 12.

The original source of the rumour suggests Tennant would be the Doctor for just three specials and then another actor would take over after.

Could this have any truth? As the frequently most popular voted Doctor, Tennant would certainly draw many lost fans back to a show that lost a substantial amount of viewers in recent years.

RTD is reassembling some of his old team so would it be so odd for him to bring back his former leading man too? RTD’s first episode is also the 60th anniversary which would likely be bringing back past Doctors anyway, and we’d be very surprised if Tennant wasn’t one of them.

As for in-story reasons, we know it is possible for the Doctor to keep an appearance (he purposely kept the same face in “Journey’s End”), and the Curator also showed he will revisit some “old favourites” in “The Day of the Doctor”.

Then again, it could all be a load of old rubbish…
