---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [RE][scifinoir2] Tennant to quit Dr Who Date : Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:28:28 -0400 From : Daryle Lockhart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To : scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com His last show will probably be the most watched episode in the history of science fiction. If he's not leaving to be the new Q in the James Bond movies, I don't know what would possess him to leave.
