Peter Capaldi who plays the 12th incarnation of The Doctor and BBC's hit sci-fi Doctor Who, announced earlier on a BBC Radio 2 show that the upcoming 10th season would be his last.
"I feel it's time to move on," Peter Capaldi said. "I feel sad, I love Doctor Who, it is a fantastic programme to work on, I can't praise the people I work with more highly, but I have always been someone that did a lot of different things."
The show runners had offered to extend his contract, however, he perfered to move on to other things.
As sad as fans of the show will be to see him go, this does leave us to speculate as to who may be cast as the 13th Doctor....
The forthcoming season airs this spring on BBC and the next Christmas special will be his final episode.
