Well according to the BBC press office, which you'd hope 'd be a little reliable!

And here's what Yahoo says about it:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm....rwho_dc
David Tennant, the star of period drama Casanova, has been named by the BBC as the new "Doctor Who" to front the cult science-fiction television series.
The BBC said Tennant, 33, would replace Christopher Eccleston who announced he was quitting after one series as the Doctor.
Tennant, who will star alongside Billie Piper, will be the 10th Time Lord.
"I grew up loving Doctor Who and it has been a lifelong dream to get my very own Tardis," he said.
"Taking over from Chris is a very daunting prospect -- he has done a fantastic job of reinventing the Doctor for a new generation and is a very tough act to follow."
Eccleston, whose first appearance as the ninth Doctor attracted 10 million viewers, said he was leaving the role because he feared being typecast.
Tennant has previously appeared in Stephen Fry's movie "Bright Young Things" and BBC drama "Blackpool."
Filming for a new 13-part adventure and Christmas special will start later in 2005.

It's all over teletext now, and I think he'll be okay. I've really enjoyed Casanova, and he'll be the second youngest Dr after Peter Davidson.
