Jodie Whittaker is going to be hanging her sonic screwdriver up for good this year, as her Thirteenth Doctor is set to bow out of Doctor Who in the upcoming Centenary Special<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With former showrunner Russell T Davies returning to the series for 2023\u2019s 60th anniversary and beyond, speculation has been rife that he could be reuniting with his acclaimed Tenth Doctor<\/a>, David Tennant.<\/p>\n

Tennant himself recently responded to the rumours<\/a>, calling a potential long-term return to the series \u201ca weird idea\u201d but otherwise choosing to remain quiet on the matter.<\/p>\n

Now, in an exclusive RadioTimes.com<\/a> poll, a grand total of 7,706 Twitter users weighed in on whether Tennant should return or a new Doctor should take over \u2013 with the results suggesting a new Doctor is the way to go.<\/p>\n

#DoctorWho<\/a> fans, do you want David Tennant to return or would you like to see a new Doctor take over?<\/p>\u2014 Radio Times (@RadioTimes) April 25, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
