Following the news there will be a series hiatus for Doctor Who in 2009 with the series being replaced by 3 specials, there is speculation this may mean Davies will not be returning to the series in 2010.
What's going on? Well it looks at first glance as though the BBC has cut a deal to keep Tennant - who is reportedly appearing as Hamlet at the RSC next year - and Davies on board for another year, but at the expense of not commissioning a full 13 part series for 2009.
And after that? It looks more certain than ever that we will have both a new doctor and a new Doctor Who showrunner for the fifth series in 2010.
