From Monday's Guardian:
As we saw on Saturday, David Tennant lives to fight on in another Christmas special, which will be set in Victorian England and feature the Cybermen, as well as four other specials which begin filming in 2009. But Davies refuses to say whether Tennant will return when the full series returns in 2010, except that he has made his decision and that the BBC knows what it is.

I guess that all really depends on if they are linked, as rumoured. If they are, I honestly can't see them spreading them out over may & august & december.

Well if Mr T is doing all the specials next year, then to be honest it's not really anything to do with RTD is it.

Personaly I feel with a new production team in place for series five I think we need Tennent to stay for at least 1 more season as it will make it easier for Moffat to settle in .

It's 100%* true that after Eccleston quit, the first choice for the 10th Doctor was Mr T. Unfortunately when offered the job he replied, "You ain't gettin' me in no TARDIS, fool!" and so the part went to David Tennant instead.

There's no way they're going to screen a coveted Doctor Who Special in August!
I would say they'll do an Easter 2009 Special to keep it in mind, then three linked ones (bridging the 10th and 11th Doctors?) over Christmas 2009 - one on Christmas Day, one on Boxing Day and one on New Years Day 2010.

I think you're right, Si.
Confusion still abounds as to how many specials there will be, there's an article on the Telegraph's website, that seems to contradict even itself in the same report!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.../bvtvwho11.xml
“Aside from Series Five, which will have a full 13 episodes and transmit in 2010, we are making four one-hour specials. The first, which we’ve already filmed, will go out this Christmas. The next will go out the following Easter. The other specials have yet to be scheduled, although one will definitely be on at Christmas 2009.”Russell T Davies, Doctor Who’s executive producer and the show’s driving creative force, will be at the helm for all four specials. Davies will write two of them himself, and co-write the others.
I think the confusion might stem from a recent RTD interview, when he stated that he'd negotiated an "extra" special for next year.....?“If my sons did not want wars, there would be none.” - Gutle Schnaper Rothschild

I'm glad he's not writting all 4 specials by himself but i'd love to see the two he co-writes is a calberation with Moffat ..

From Julie Gardener in todays Telegraph (and OG):
Doctor Who's co-executive producer Julie Gardner has revealed transmission details for two of next year's specials.
And in the interview in today's Daily Telegraph about the show's future, the head of drama for BBC Wales says the cutback in 2009 is a good thing for the programme.
She says: "Aside from Series Five, which will have a full 13 episodes and transmit in 2010, we are making four one-hour specials. The first, which we've already filmed, will go out this Christmas. The next will go out the following Easter. The other specials have yet to be scheduled, although one will definitely be on at Christmas 2009."
In the interview, Gardner says: "The reduced schedule for 2009 acknowledges the fact that the show should continue not just for another one or two years, but for another five or 10. It needs to be nurtured, loved and looked after."
The article states that Russell T Davies is writing two of the specials and co-writing the other two. It is not revealed who the other co-writer is.

Oh well, back to four - at least we know though!
I'm intrigued about the co-writer thing, because RTD doesn't really strike me as a co-writer type. Maybe it just means he's storylining them and somebody else will do the actual writing? Maybe it's Mr Moffat, although he doesn't strike me as the co-writer sort either.

Agree with that 100% for me having this years break comes at just the right time as it just stops things getting a bit stale and predictable with the non fans losing interest.

So it is only 3 specials in 2009 then. That's disappointing.
#1 Christmas 2008: Cybermen in Victorian Wales/England?
#2 Easter 2009.
#3 Unknown T/X.
#4 Christmas 2009.
Although it would be nice to have the extraneous one t/x on New Years Day or Boxing Day 2009.
That puts paid to Steve/Perry's 'reliable' source that there will be one at easter & then 3 close together, all being linked.

So actually, we're getting Doctor Who at exactly the same times as usual, except instead of 13 episodes next Spring we'll be getting one.

12th Jul 2008, 7:54 PM #46He did co-write Invasion of the Bane with Gareth Roberts though, so there is a precedent. I suppose it helps take some of the pressure off too.

That'll be the story I linked to the day before then....
As I said, the article contradicts itself quite a bit, imo, epsecially this bit.....
Although it has been reported that Tennant has already made his decision and informed the BBC, Gardner says she doesn’t know whether he will still be the Doctor when the fifth series airs in 2010. However, his stint as a Time Lord is far from over. “I can confirm that David Tennant will be coming back after his run playing Hamlet [for the RSC] to film the four specials.

Some intersting stuff in today's Current Bun, apart from Tennant being close to signing for another series.....
David’s real-life love Georgia Moffett, 23, returns as his daughter Jenny for one of the Who specials.
