After months of speculation it looks as though David Tennant will be staying on for the fifth series of Doctor Who in 2010.
It was expected that the actor would quit the role after four one-off specials next year, however today's Sun reports that he will be sticking with the role.
Tennant is said to be close to signing a new deal worth £1.5million to play the Doctor for the fifth series.
Fans of the show were led to believe that he would be bowing out at the end of the current season after a cliffhanger that featured him starting to regenerate.
However, it was a red herring and he is definitely confirmed to return in the role next year.
Russell T Davies, who successfully revived the show in 2005, has stepped down from his role as executive producer and will be replaced by writer Steven Moffat, who has penned some of the most acclaimed episodes of the show to date.
Are you pleased with the news that David Tennant is staying with the series? And is he worth £1.5million ? Let us know what you think - plus, watch Doctor Who clips...
