I only started watching Doctor Who again after I happened to see David Tennants` portrayal of the Timelord. I thought he played the part brilliantly and the whole idea of the Doctor was written specially for him.   
We generally use [[British]] [[English]] 'round these parts, so if you use another form of English, please be sure you set your [[Help:Spell checking|spell checker]] to BrEng, and take a gander at our [[Help:Spelling cheat card|spelling cheat card]].   


I`d never seen him in anything else on TV but did see him in the Harry Potter movie around the same time as he started playing the part of the Doctor.
<span id=ssh style="font-size:125%">'''Spoilers aren't cool'''</span>


Only time will tell if he remains in the part although he has often remarked on Dr Who Confidential and in interviews that he likes nothing better than to tease the press with talk of his imminent departure. Some people started rumours when only a few episodes of the 2nd series had been shown, just because Christopher Eccleston announced his leaving mid-way through series 1.
We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual.  Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet.  So, even if you've got some info from a [[BBC]] press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here.  In other words, '''you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents.'''  Please check the '''[[Tardis:spoiler policy|spoiler policy]]''' for more details.


I am currently mystified that sometimes you can read an article on the BBC Dr Who website about David staying on as the Doctor for the 2008 christmas special and then when you look for it again you can`t find the story.

Instructions for {{Welcome}}
{{Welcome}} is the template which automatically gets stamped on a new registered user's talk page. As of 26 February 2024, it is best used by User:JIMBO, our welcome bot. It may not function entirely when used manually by a human editor.

The sample output below generally shows the form of the message, but the special variables ($1, $2, $3, $4), only work for JIMBO. These variables don't universally get filled in if a human editor uses this template manually.

Usage

This template should generally not be used by any human users of this site.

However, if you run across a user that has made edits but has not been welcomed automatically by JIMBO, please do manually emplace this template. Occasionally, JIMBO fails in his duties and needs a little human help.

Thanks for your recent edits! I'm Jimbo, your robot wiki representative! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is actually a great time to have joined, because we're now fully independent, and working on a host of new features!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a fan written wiki, so let's get them out of the way first.

British English, please

We generally use British English 'round these parts, so if you use another form of English, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card.

Spoilers aren't cool

We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details.

Other useful stuff

Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:
