So, David Tennant has finally announced his resignation (by the way, thats not finally as in I want him to leave, but finally as in there's been loads of rumours floating about anyway) and there aren't that many speculations as to who'd be up to play the Eleventh Doctor.
My suggestion: Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Let's face it, he'd be awesome.
(Y)
Any other suggestions?

Where did you hear/read this officially?
Could you link to or state your source.
I could only find the rumours that have been circulating for ages. He was originally going when Billie Piper left but he's still there. Everyone knows he will quit eventually for someone else to take over. That's the way the show works, but I tend to ignore the rumours.

Yes, its very officially, as in, on the BBC News at 10 o'clock here in England.
But, if you need more confirmation, here's a link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7698539.stm

Awww, pooh. I was looking forward to more Tennant-y good times. He WAS Doctor Who, from the excitability to the big face-breaking go-se eating grin. (Not to mention the 'Great Big Threatening BUTTON, that must NEVER EVER be pressed!!!') But
Select to view spoiler:
John Simm as the 11th Doctor (so suggesteth the article)? Why can I not see that working after his stint as the Master?
Also too bad this is his final year. IMO, would have been most poignant (and gratifying to the fans) if last year had been his final year and the true Doctor could have gone off with Rose instead of the human clone.

I'm sad that Tennant is leaving but i can understand his reasoning. I think that of all the episodes i've seen so far he's my favourite Doctor.
I think Chiwetel would make an excellant Doctor, he has just the right mix of calm and kickass.
Anthony Stewart Head could also be good....although he was a bad guy in series 2 (although that shouldn't stop them, the guy who killed the fifth doctor ended up playing the sixth doctor).
Whoever the BBC pick i'm sure will be great and with Moffat writing they're certain to have interesting storylines.
Just a small note: Tennant isn't leaving 'till the 2010 series so we still have the four specials in 2009 to look forward to first.

There've been rumours that Patrick Stewart would like to play a guest character, but I tend to think he'd make an exceptional Doctor. Most people don't realize the guy can do "zany madman" remarkably well; he's always typecast as the erudite scholar.
Sadly, Anthony Stewart Head and James ("not British, but I play one on TV") Marsters are both out of the running, having already appeared in the Whoverse as other characters.

When was James Marsters on Doctor Who? I'll definitely need to see that one.
(suddenly remembers there's a thing called imdb.com) Ah, he was in torchwood

That sucks. I actually preferred Tennant over Eccleston. He really brought a manic energy to the character and was able to go from dead serious/weight of the universe on his shoulders to bouncing off the walls/full of life with total ease.
As a replacement, I'd like to see a ginger actor, just to pay off that joke in season 2 of him always wanting to be ginger. Would Rupert Grint be too much of a stretch? Or just any actor that played a Weasley in the HARRY POTTER movies.
