Russell T Davies: David Tennant could still be playing Doctor Who when he's 70

Writer thinks actor is perfect fit as the Time Lord

Thursday, 2 October 2008

David Tennant could still be starring in Doctor Who when he’s collecting his pension, according to the show’s head writer.

Russell T Davies reckons the actor, 37, loves playing the Time Lord so much he may stick around forever.

‘David may never leave, he could go on forever,’ he says. ‘I haven’t talked to him about leaving. Maybe it will never happen. Maybe he’ll be 70 and have to be taken off set.’

Russell, 45, thinks David's shoes would be hard to fill as he's the perfect Time Lord.

‘David has brought everything to Doctor Who,’ he tells the Sunday Express. ‘A lot of straight men don’t handle humour well, but he can do the tragedy, too.’
