David Tennant has told Time Out London that he is beginning to give up hope of returning to Doctor Who for the show's 50th anniversary. Speaking of the celebrations he maintains his stance that he has heard nothing about appearing in the show and says he is ‘beginning to give up hope that anything’s going to happen’.
Talking of the life changes that his role as the Tenth Doctor brought he says ‘You can’t ever shrug it off, sometimes it’s a really lovely thing – even people who don’t watch the show love the idea of it. But you can’t switch it off when you’re buying a coffee and want to get home quickly, and five kids want a photograph taken.'
Though he quickly adds 'That makes it sound like a trial, and it’s not, but you can’t choose it. It’s part of the deal and it changes the practicalities of your life.’"

... I hope
ha ha -- not fooling us are they
he'd better have a blooming shave though
If he says he's not coming back, he's coming back.
What's the point of him saying anything at all?
Exactly.
What if the Moff is just writing a story focusing, rightly, on the current Doctor? It is easy to write little titbits nodding to the shows past, but these Doctors apart from Matt have had their moments. They don't need to hog the Anniversary special.
Come on Moff, get on the blower to Tennant soon! He will be missed and a lot of fans won't be happy. Me, for one.
It won't be as good, a special without David.
I'm the opposite. I'd just like a blistering story and I don't care if we don't see any previous Doctors... mainly because that'll open the floodgates for all the previous companions and, of course, Captain Jack, who I never want to see again in any form on telly.
Capt. Jack is one o the best supporting characters to come out of DW! although I would not like to see him without 9 or 10, he is their companion. I am sure we will see 10 and a host of others in the anniversary episode. I would love to see all the companions back too, well the ones still with us . Its got to be over the top and wonderful.
Perhaps Tennant won't be in it because they want to save his return for the 10th anniversary of the new series in a couple of years?
fixed that for you
Tennant - 4 years 1 week.
Pertwee - 4 years 18 weeks (approx)
I don't doubt it for a moment.
i have no idea what is smoke and mirrors and what is likely. But I don't really care. I will be happy either way. I still think including the past doctors in anything other than fleeting cameos/mentions is impossible considering the timescales of the episode so maybe its best not to risk upsetting fans of various incarnations and not even go there at all.
I know! Brilliant , isn't it?! Tenth Doctor back for sure. Colin said he hasn't been asked too. So deffo sixth Doctor in it! And Sylvester only took the Radagast gig so he could collect his costume in person from Peter Jackson.
Not neccesarily. The production team could just say that Jack is too busy doing stuff in America with Gwen.
I'm in two minds about Jack being in the 50th if i'm honest. I think that John Barrowman is such an excellent singer and actor, but I think he's been in Doctor Who and any related shows enough for the moment.
I'm a huge fan of him. I've got both autobiographies, plus the audiobook of his first one, and I've got two music CDs that he's done. Tonight's The Night The Very Best of and The Essential John Barrowman.
One of them is more poppy and dancy, whereas, the other is more him singing songs from musicals.

I've also got him singing live on DVD in Scotland.

And as I'm, a huge Doctor Who fan, I've got various action figures of Captain Jack Harkness.
That's a silly question to ask. Or rather, an obvious one. Of course he'll be there. He's the current one, and Matt did say about three weeks ago that he doesn't want to go until after the 50th anniversary special has aired.
