It was expected,yet I can't believe it.

OH MY GOD.I JUST HEARD- DAVID TENNANT IS LEAVING DOCTOR WHO.
YES,IT'S OFFICIAL. IT'S ON THE BCC. HE ANNOUNCED IT AT SOME AWARDS SHOW.
AND WHILE I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE AND ALL,MY FIRST REACTION IS STILL "NOOOO! DON'T GO!!! QUICK, SOMEONE LOCK HIM IN THE TARDIS!!"
I first saw it on my igoogle page,it said syfyportal so I didn't quite believe but a quick google search got me to the bcc announcement
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7698815.stm
It seems he's quoting similar reasons to when Billie did. go while you still love it, when you'll miss it, when it's fun, etc
and I have to say,it's not that big of a surprise. I kinda did hope that David would leave with RTD.
if we're on the subject,I also want Billie to be on David's last ep.
but I am shocked and surprise and sad. It's hard to believe,really. I just can't imagine Doctor Who without David Tennant. It's no surprise he's my favourite Doctor. and this show has been my favourite since I started watching, which was ...2004?no,2005,I think. I think it was my first year at uni.
it's been three years and it feels like a lot longer I've watched every ep a million times, someofthem especially s2 I can quote in their entirety.
It's definitely the end of an era and I'll be really sad to see it go.
it's also not a secret I'm not Moffat's biggest fan. when the news broke he'd be the new EP,I was excited and then I thought about it and was scared. the news came before SiL/TFtD. after the ep I felt pretty frightened. I still am. I think he'll change the show a lot and I'm not exactly sure if he'll even take it in a direction I like. I'll still watch,at least an ep or two,I'm sure, to see if I like or not.maybe I will
I was ready to drop House last year cause I didn't like s3 but when I watched s4 I loved it.
If DT were to stay I would as well. I'd keep watching.
but I don't have to worry about that til 2010
and RTD did give me what I asked for, sort of, and that's something Moffat can't ruin or take back or anything, which I am very grateful for.
I am excited and scared to see who'll be the next Doctor. I'm sure that'll either convince to me stay or make me run away.
I just saw the video from the National Television Awards, they showed the audience and RTD was sitting next to Catherine Tate (who deserves a million awards!) and Elizabeth Sladen (whom I like,but I haven't seen her show)
