The beloved actor made the comments while speaking to Deadline on the red carpet at the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises, explaining to the publication that the show has been running for "sixty years and it shows no signs of stopping."
Addressing rumours that he might return to the series again, he added: "I promise you I'd tell you if it was true!"
Of course, Tennant first played the Tenth Doctor for a widely acclaimed three-season stretch between 2005 and 2010, and has since made a couple of high-profile returns – most recently for three specials to mark the show's 60th anniversary in 2023.
At the end of the special, the Fourteenth Doctor was given what looked to be a fairly definitive ending – and last year Tennant appeared to confirm during an interview with Radio Times magazine that this was the end of the road for him.
"The door is not any more open than it ever was, because in Doctor Who if you want to bring someone back, there are endless ways of doing it. It’s very much the end of the story."
So it looks like fans shouldn't count on seeing Tennant back in the TARDIS any time soon...
