Another year of "Doctor Who" may not be too bad for actor David Tennant, that is if BBC is willing to front him a raise and offer him a picture deal to go with it.

The actor, who plays the Tenth Doctor in the series, is in negotiations to extend his contract through 2011, according to The Daily Telegraph. The actor already is involved with this year's Christmas special as well as three specials planned for 2009 since the fifth season was delayed to accommodate Tennant's stage schedule.

How much could Tennant get if he stays? It would have to be far more than the ?1 million, or $1.74 million. Plus, Tennant wants a "Doctor Who" movie, something the BBC is supposedly seriously considering.

"The BBC is determined to make sure David doesn't go without a fight," a source told News of the World. "He is an integral part of the series."

Some other "Doctor Who" news have been circulating as of late. One is a report by the British media that all seven living actors who have portrayed The Doctor will band together for the annual "Children In Need" charity special that the BBC is involved with each year. Last year, Tennant filmed a "Children In Need" event with one of those former Doctor actors, Peter Davison.

Also, Prince Charles has left the door open for a possible "Doctor Who" cameo. While the initial request from Russell T. Davies was ignored by Charles' office, his officials there say it's likely that they could reconsider if the offer was submitted again, according to Reuters.

"Doctor Who" returns to British television on Christmas Day for its annual Christmas special. Last year's special attracted 13 million viewers.
