10 Things RTD's Return WON'T Bring To Doctor Who

10. David Tennant Full-Time

According to a "credible" BBC source, David Tennant has been cast as the 14th Doctor, making him the first actor to play two incarnations of the character. Except, he already is, isn't he? According to Time of the Doctor, between the opening of Journey's End and the closing moments of The End of Time Part 2 David Tennant is playing the 11th Doctor, regenerated with the same face.

The rumour was circulated on that 100% reliable source of political, epidemiological and vaccination information, Facebook. So it's likely bogus. If we must do a multi-Doctor story for the 60th then Tennant will be a shoe-in for a return; he doesn't miss an opportunity these days!

As the 14th Doctor, though? The perception of the show in certain quarters is that it's too inward-looking, too obsessed with the past. Bringing back a former Doctor would not only play into this, but it would make the damaging suggestion that the show's best days are behind it and what we really want is the golden age back again.
