DAVID Tennant is in talks to stay on as Dr Who until 2011, the News of the World can reveal.

The negotiations mark a stunning U-turn for the 37-year-old actor who had planned to walk away from the BBC role after filming four specials next year.

But, following pleas from BBC chiefs and fans, Tennant is now considering continuing as the telly timelord.

Insiders say TV bosses are prepared to offer him a big increase on his current £1 million deal.

So far Tennant, who recently appeared as Hamlet in London’s West End, has stopped short of signing because of a potential Hollywood film deal and offers from rival TV channels.

But an insider said: “The BBC is determined to make sure David doesn't go without a fight. He is an integral part of the series.”
