David Tennantis the most democratic histrion to play the Doctor of the modern era — arguably , brushing up against Tom Baker ’s fourth incarnation to be the most democratic of them all , full stop — so it ’s no surprise that he ’s keptslowly but for sure returningas Doctor Who celebrates its big birthdays over the last decade . But after coming back as an entirely new Doctor last class , Tennant seems to be very much entering his Retirement Lord era .
“ The door is not any more open than it ever was , because in Doctor Who if you want to bring someone back , there are dateless ways of doing it , ” Tennant toldRadio Timesof the end of the 14th Doctor ’s story in“The Giggle,”which sawthe Doctor bi - generateinto a coincidental , 15th incarnation of themselves , leave the 14th with the reward of living out his days alongside his best ally Donna Noble and her syndicate . “ It ’s very much the end of the chronicle . ”
“ The Doctor ’s well-chosen , ” the actor carry on . “ He is in a garden in Chiswick , being made mac and cheese by Bonnie Langford ! ”

Even on the possibility of a team up between the fourteenth and Ncuti Gatwa ’s 15th Doctor , should the latter ever happen himself around contemporary Chiswick , Tennant reject to be drawn . “ You could also say , ‘ Why has Patrick Troughton not landed here ? ! ’ It unpicks if you retrieve about that too much , ” the doer continued . “ I ’m retired !

So odds are , we wo n’t be seeing either of Tennant ’s Doctors any time presently . There are just 9 eld until Doctor Who ’s 70th birthday , however , so there ’s plenty of time for Tennant to rethink about whether or not he wants to do ananniversarial hat illusion , however . And what does a retire Time Lord have , if not clock time ?
