Written by Carl Tibbetts and Janice Hallett, the story follows a couple – played by Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter series) and Thandie Newton (Run, Fat Boy Run & The Pursuit of Happyness) – who have their holiday ruined when a half-dead man, who the Tenth Doctor actor will portray, appears on their doorstep with a message of a virus that is killing people on the mainland…

The movie is being produced by The Magent Films, and filming is set to begin in Canada in May. It’s currently slated for an early 2011 theatrical release.

Tissues at the ready, folks! The day that has been highlighted on Whovian calendars across the land has finally arrived, and as such David Tennant has given his last EVER interview as the Tenth Doctor. It had to happen eventually!

“It feels like we’ve been building up to this episode for 4 and a half years,” the actor told BBC News Entertainment Correspondent Lizo Mzimba. “This is the moment we’ve been heading towards, and it feels very exciting. I’m really excited for people to see it, but it’ll be odd once it’s gone.”

He added: ”It’s quite an all-consuming thing and Doctor Who is a big part of my life, and everyday it impacts on my life in some way. To be saying farewell to the sharp end of that is peculiar. I don’t know how it’ll feel in 6 months time, but right now I’m just really excited about this last story going out.”

And his last ever episode airs TONIGHT on BBC1/HD at 6:40PM, and our discussion will be online from 7:55PM (GMT). We’ve come this far together – join us and other visitors as we bid farewell to the Tenth Doctor. Its been a blast, hasn’t it?

Don’t worry – the Master isn’t up to his old tricks! David Tennant treated fans with not one but two appearances on breakfast television in the UK this morning, being interviewed on both BBC Breakfast and GMTV ahead of the broadcast of his final ever episode tomorrow night.

It’s safe to say that the regeneration is the talk of the nation (and quite right too!), and the actor promises that viewers will still be shocked by some of the plot twists to come in part two of The End of Time…

“The Doctor’s been told that he’s going to die, and he knows he’s going to die,” he told BBC Breakfast. “So you get to play that new flavour with this character that you’ve got to know so well, and suddenly you’re playing a man who knows his end is coming.”

He added: “When you find out what [the four knocks] really means, it just breaks your heart. It’s brilliant.”

Meanwhile, over on GMTV he commented: “I’ve been talking about it for 4 years. This morning is the last time I’ll be on television talking about a new episode of Doctor Who. That’s quite a weird thought. But it’s my final moment. This is it. The Tenth Doctor is leaving the building.”
