Wait a minute - new Doctor? The new season is due to start here in a few weeks - still haven't heard who the companion will be, guess I better head over to the couch.
It's difficult not to be torn. Saying "ciao!" to probably the best Doctor of them all, while curious as to who they'll get to replace him. I feel sorry for the guy who steps into the shoes next... How is he going to live up to the standard D.T. set?
HI Pixie Thing is that we felt exactly the same way about someone taking over from Ecclescake before we knew, and even then I think there was some trepidation - given HOW successful s1 was - about Tennant taking it on.
This has, to some extent, always dogged the show -- the sad thing is now we can't get away without spoilers -- knowing the regeneration is coming rather than being shocked by it.
I know I'd have loved it to be a surprise. Hey ho.Nonny nonny no. At least we get a year to get used to it. D'ya think Dougie Henshall would be keen to take it on????
Btw can't post on your Hallelujah blog but oh dear god that version is FABULOUS. Have to fess up that I'd never heard this song till Rufus Wainwright's version in Shrek, but Jeremy Vine did a very funny Battle of the Hallelujahs a few years ago when he played five versions and got listeners to vote their favourite. I think Jeff wotsit won.

OOps, sorry Joe I should really have spoiler posted that... but really, its been so hard to avoid speculation about what happens after the specials...
Sorry again.
