Piers Wenger is to take over from Julie Gardner as the new executive producer of Doctor Who, it has been confirmed.

Wenger, producer of ITV's Bafta-award winning drama Housewife, 49, will also become the new head of BBC Wales drama from January 2009. He will join the BBC in the new year, working closely with Gardner in a 12-month handover period.

Russell T Davies, co-executive producer of Who, is on board for three specials airing in 2009 but has refused to confirm whether he will be involved with the fifth series, due for broadcast in 2010. Gardner is expected to remain at the BBC.

"I'm incredibly excited to be joining BBC Wales," said Wenger. "The success of the drama team there has been extraordinary and I look forward to taking the team to even greater heights."

Gardner added: "I know that when I hand over my sonic screwdriver to Piers for season five of Doctor Who, it will be to someone who loves and understands the show."

Catherine Tate has suggested that the next series of Doctor Who could be the last for actor David Tennant.

The comedian, speaking on Radio 2's Jonathan Ross programme, said: "I think it's maybe David's last series."

The BBC refused to comment on Mr Tennant's future as the show's star.

Tate, who first appeared in the 2006 Christmas special, is to return as the doctor's assistant, Donna, for the entire run of the fourth series.

She will also be joined for several episodes by the doctor's former companion Martha Jones, played by Freema Agyeman.

When pressed on whether Tennant would return to play the timelord in special Dr Who shows in future, Tate replied: "Possibly."

The comedian also confirmed that the forthcoming series would be her last.

Tate made her Doctor Who debut last year as a runaway bride who found herself transported into the Tardis as she prepared for her wedding on Christmas Eve.

The episode attracted an audience of 9.4 million when it was screened on BBC One on Christmas Day.

This year's Christmas special, starring Kylie Minogue, is due to be screened at 1850 GMT on 25 December.

Speaking to Doctor Who magazine, the pop star said appearing in the show was "like stepping back in time".

"I really felt at home being back in the world of TV," she added. "I've definitely got the acting bug again!"

Keep Tennant and get rid of Tate, she is a bad comedienne and an even worse actress, no wonder Tennant wants to leave :(

[Pretend]

If you mean BBC America, they're a season behind Sci-Fi in my neck of the woods. :)

[Shibby]

Tell you the truth as much as I love David. The main problem is the time it takes to film Who. He may just want a rest. In which case they may just delay another series.

[4CxbqFxVnstmA Veteran]

Maybe now Christopher Eccleston has had a rest he will come back to take over. Here's hoping! :D

I am not sure I want him back, he was a bit boring for me :ermm:

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

He didn't seem to have any other expression than "i'm going to punch you", when he was happy he looked happy and about to punch somebody, when he was angry it was the same but without the happy.

[4CxbqFxVnstmA Veteran]

I agree, I thought he looked mad. That's what was so funny. Tennant is somehow less mad and so less funny IMO.

Tennant is eccentric which is what makes him great imo but who cares about my opinion :D

Ok your right there Rappy, Tennant is eccentric and he's good. I just always thought it was hilarious the way Eccleston would leer at Billie Piper. Surely those two 'got together'.
