DAVID STILL THE DOCTOR SAYS DAD

THE dad of Scots actor David Tennant has slammed reports his son is to turn his back on TV hit Doctor Who.
The Very Rev Dr Sandy McDonald, 69, said his son has been so busy filming the third series he has not had time to decide about whether he will be involved in a fourth.
He added: "Not everything you read is the gospel truth and it's wrong for anyone to say David has decided to quit as DoctorWho.
"David hasn't even finished filming the third series yet, never mind made a decision on whether to take part in the fourth.
"He has not made up his mind on what to do next because he has not been asked to make a decision by the BBC."
It had been reported the 35-year-old Paisley actor was itching to take on more movie roles after winning acclaim for his part as Barty Crouch in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire.
The BBC have also been quick to deny the claims.
A spokesman said: "Every so often, stories like this appear but that does not mean they are true.
"David is absolutely committed to the programme and, after a brief holiday, is due to return to the filming of series three soon."
Tennant has refused to talk of his future in the role and previously said: "From the moment I accepted this job, everyone said, 'When are you leaving?' A boy could get a complex."
