NTA Triumps 2008!

Following on from a sad post, here is something to cheer you up! Despite the breaking news, awards have been won at the National Television Awards night today, held in the Royal Albert Hall in London. The Doctor Who Prom back in July, also took place at this venue. There were three nominations put up. Firstly for Doctor Who as the best drama and David Tennant and Catherine Tate for Outstanding Drama Performance. Doctor Who won the Best Drama, and stars who went up to collect the trophy were Catherine Tate (Donna Noble), Elizabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane Smith), Camille Coduri (Jackie Tyler), Noel Clarke (Mickey Smith), and, of course, the head writer of Doctor Who, Russell T. Davies. David Tennant was performing in Stratford for Hamlet, so could not turn up. Catherine Tate make a joke in her speech, saying that she thought they weren't going to win the award this year, because she was in the show! While they got up to the stage, Song for Freedom played in the background. This is the fourth time in a row that the show has won the award, and that's once every year! David Tennant won Outstanding Drama Performance, but could not collect his prize. He made a speech from the stage door of the Courtyard theatre, during a break in his performance. You should all know what he said, but if not, look below, in the last post. He also said the award should have gone to Catherine Tate, so made her go and collect the award! Congratulations to everyone!

The Doctor As We Know Will Leave Us

I'm not going to put a massive big sign saying Breaking News, but it definitely is for the show we love! Right, I'm going to try and keep calm in this post so here goes...
If you had been watching the National Television Awards this evening, you would have seen awards won by our Doctor Who nominees, but more about that in the next post. When it was announced that David Tennant had won his award, we learnt that he was not there, but in Stratford, home of the Royal Shakespeare Company, in the middle of one of his breaks, and David Tennant had come out to make a speech. He was delighted, naturally, but then the news came... He told us that he was doing the specials, but you could see where his sentence was heading! He said, that Doctor Who would be returning for the fifth series in 2010, but then he said that he won't be in it. Someone else will be taking the lead role, and David Tennant will be leaving the show. This may be very very upsetting for all fans, as David Tennant in many hearts, was the best Doctor and the most loved, and had elements of all past Doctors before him. Even after extremely large amounts of money the BBC had offered him to stay on for another series, he said that he would like to move on to other things, otherwise his life would just keep pulling him back into that same old Tardis again. This certainly is an end of an era, after the specials are finished, but we've still got him until Christmas 2009, but won't that be a dreary Christmas!!! Russell T. Davies will also be leaving, handing the flame over to Steven Moffat, previous writer of such stories like The Girl in the Firplace and Blink. Phil Collinson and Julie Gardner have left, and most likely, there will be a new companion. This will lead to a fresh start, a new beginning, and a look back to the fabulous events that have passed...
Thank You!
