BBC – Press Office => Doctor Who: Series five
After months of media speculation, BBC One can confirm that the Bafta-award winning Doctor Who will return for a fifth series in spring 2010.
That’s the good news… the bad news is that 2009 will not have a regular series, just three specials. Apparently to accommodate David Tennant performing Hamlet.
On the other hand, perhaps that’s great news… if they’re going to accommodate him for Hamlet, perhaps that means it was a way to keep him onboard as the Doctor for the 2010 series. No announcement has been made, however.

If I may indulge in a little unsubstantiated speculation (that is our job, as fans, after all), I’d concur that this means Tennant is onboard for the ’10 season (otherwise why have the hiatus) and further suggest that his fourth and last season may be with a new head writer and head producer (preserving continuity by not regenerating the production team at the same time as the Doctor).
2009 is going to be a bit bleak, though.

Well, we still have Torchwood…. :-{
That also seem reasonable… bring on the era of Moffat or Gatiss?
