The Official BBC Doctor Who site has had a new Doctor revamp and here are the first official pics of David in cotume as the Doctor! Click here to see more pics!
The site says:
David Tennant today steps into the role of the tenth Time Lord,
as filming commences on the highly anticipated Christmas special and second series of Doctor Who for BBC ONE. Billie Piper returns as the Doctor's feisty young companion, Rose Tyler, and
together they will travel through time and space battling new and returning aliens and monsters. David Tennant says of his striking new look: "I think we've come up with something distinctive that's both timeless
and modern, with a bit of geek chic and of course, a dash of Time Lord! Most importantly Billie tells me she likes it –
after all she's the one who has to see me in it for the next nine months! " Billie Piper, who will star alongside Tennant in the Christmas special and all 13 episodes in series two, says: "I'm
thrilled to be stepping back into the role of Rose. We plan to make series two even bigger and better and challenge the viewers'
imaginations like never before. Wait until you get a load of the new doctor!" Russell T Davies, writer and Executive Producer, adds: "We were delighted and honoured by the first series' success,
and we can promise new thrills, new laughs, new heartbreak, and some terrifying new aliens. The Doctor and Rose are destined
to meet Queen Victoria, an evil race of Cat Women, and the dreaded Cybermen. 2006 is going to be scarier than ever!" Filming of the 60 minute Christmas episode kicks off in London and continues
in various locations across Wales, predominantly in Cardiff. Christmas becomes a time of terror for Planet Earth, as the whole
of mankind falls under the shadow of the alien Sycorax. Rose needs the Doctor's help, but can she trust a man with a new face?

David started work on Doctor Who yesterday, the press have a bit about his first day here:
Billie Piper and the new Doctor Who David Tennant look like they're getting on famously
after their first day of filming together. The pair shared a joke as they left the BBC's Cardiff studios after beginning work
on the new series of the sci-fi hit.
They were joined by comedy star Stephen Fry who is writing part of the series and Billie's
boyfriend, law student Armandu Sowe.
Tennant said he had been looking forward to working with Miss Piper who plays his assistant
Rose saying 'I didn't know her before, but obviously I've been admiring her in the show. She's just great.
Fantastic. Just absolutely perfect. Spunky and quick and sexy... Just the ideal companion really. So I'm very very pleased
that she's doing the whole series.'
The Scottish actor takes over from Christopher Eccleston in the forthcoming series.
Tennant said, 'Chris was so good in it, so sure footed with what he did, so it left me
thinking, there's an awful lot to live up to here! I just hope people like it. I hope they stick with it and give it a chance.
I know everyone loved Chris, and so did I, but hopefully I won't dissapoint people!'

Blue Peter are running a competition to design a monster for
David's Doctor to fight in the new series. You must be 15 or under to enter. The winning monster will be used in the new series
and the winning designer will get to visit the set of Doctor Who in Wales!
It must be a prosthetic monster, which means that an actor must
be able to wear a costume to become your creation. The competition is split into three age catergories and full details can
be found on the Blue Peter website.
More great news for kids (big ones as well!) is that the new Doctor Who figurines will be available
at the end of the month. The first set will feature Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor, but there are plans to replace him for
David, as the new Doctor to be on sale in 2006.

According to today's issue of The Daily Star David is dating his
Blackpool co star Sarah Parish. Here's what they say:
Doctor Who in waiting David Tennant is playing Casanova to the beautiful
Sarah Parish - despite our ill-informed rivals insisting oherwise.
Back in April, we told you how they had just begun dating when
they were spotted leaving the BAFTA awards together. So how delighted were we when our snitch at Heathrow Airport spotted
the Cutting It beauty and David kissing and cuddling after landing following a romantic break in LA.
Our man on the runway said "There was no doubt about it, they
are boyfriend and girlfriend and they looked very much in love. When they realised they were being watched they tried to hide
and left very quickly in seperate cars."
David has previously been linked in the press to Louise Delamere and Amy Nuttall. David and Sarah were in America to promote the launch of Blackpool in the States.

The Daily Star are reporting in today's issue on a comment made by Russell
T Davies regarding David's costume as the next Doctor Who. They say:
Doctor Who fans could be in for a shock when new Timelord
David Tennant starts his adventures.
Show writer Russell T Davies revealed he might put the hunky star in drag! Viewers
saw outgoing Doctor Christopher Eccleston regenerate into Tennant in the final episode of the last series.
David, who has
starred in Casanova, was seen inside the Tardis morphing into the old Doctor's body - and his trademark black leather jacket
- after defeating the daleks.
But Russell has hinted that he may do something 'dramatic' when it comes to choosing an outfit
for his new Timelord traveller.
He joked "What about drag? I can't rule anything out. With Chris gone it wouldn't be right
to put David into his old clothes. He needs something new. To be honest we haven't discussed costumes for him. But I would
want to give him a totally different look."
Meanwhile it has been revealed that Scottish David will be keeping his accent
when the series returns for a one off Christmas special. Telly fans were amazed that when he regenerated as the new Doctor
last month he spoke with a posh English accent. That left Scottish viewers baffled as to what was going on. Now Russell has
revealed that the star will revert to his native accent during the series. He said 'Every planet has a Scotland. You'll have
to wait and see what we do. There are revelations on the way'.
*NB Sarah is away until Friday, so she says she will answer any e-mails sent to her then. :o) - Jack.

Tennant and he has a kind of mercurial quality.

Blackpool in Los Angeles this month. The show which will be shown on BBC America will be renamed Viva Blackpool for the US
audience.
Kathryn Mitchell, who joined BBC America as general manager in January,
said the network is particularly seeking to lure more women, younger viewers and people who live "in the middle of the country."
She
described "Viva Blackpool" as a "very different" show with a "karaoke approach" to song-and-dance routines using an eclectic
mix of music ranging from Elvis Presley to Billy Idol songs. The hourlong series -- which stars David Morrissey, Sarah Parish
and David Tennant -- tells the story of Ripley Holden, a wannabe Donald Trump who dreams of creating his own Las Vegas. The
show will be shown in six hourly installments.

campaign from sexy posters to slick witty trailers, and best of all having the confidence to schedule the series in a big
showy prime time slot."
"Once again Canadian viewers will be amongst the first to see the adventure. It all kicks off with
a Christmas Special - just wait till you see what we do with Santa..."

Andrew Marr also mentioned meeting David at a charity function at
Downing Street in his Telegraph colum, he said of their meeting: "David Tennant told me he was off to Glastonbury with a tent
to get covered in mud. As he said, rather wistfully, it was probably the last time he'd be able to do something like that
without being mobbed."
