Fincham: 'Doctor Who' has
BBC One controller Peter Fincham has quashed speculation over the future of Doctor Who beyond its upcoming third series.

Speaking at a press screening of Christmas special The Runaway Bride this morning, Fincham said that there was "a long way to go yet with Doctor Who in its modern incarnation". The BBC has yet to officially commission a fourth series of Doctor Who for 2008 but David Tennant is thought to have already signed up for a fourth.

Meanwhile, Tennant refused to confirm when he would be leaving the show, explaining that he was "very careful" never to speculate. "From the moment I accepted this job they were going 'when are you leaving?' A boy could get a complex," he joked. "I try to remain as non-commital on that as possible. I think I shall maintain that stance today!"

Doctor Who - The Runaway Bride airs on BBC One at 7pm on Christmas Day.
