Following previous article: "No Tennant in Series 5?"
The BBC have confirmed that there will be no series 5 in 2009. Instead, Tennant will star in 3 Doctor Who specials. A full length series 5 will be aired in 2010, but the Doctor Who spokeswoman was unable to comment whether or not Tennant would return for it.

Instead of playing the time travelling hero in a 2009 series, Tennant will be doing some more classical acting with the Royal Shakespeare Company (the BBC say it isn't confirmed, but he's in the RSC program).
What a disappointement! 3 specials won't be enough to quench the thirst of Doctor Who fans! Hopefully when it comes back full time in 2010, the producers and writers will have made the show even better. I get the feeling this "gap-year" might be a result of the complaints the Doctor Who team were issuing about their work conditions: (long hours, no breaks, etc...)
