DW spoilers of the front page of the BBC news site kind below:

Matt's leaving Doctor Who at the end of this year.

"It's been an honour to play this part, to follow the legacy of brilliant actors, and helm the Tardis for a spell with 'the ginger, the nose and the impossible one'. But when ya gotta go, ya gotta go and Trenzalore calls. Thank you guys. Matt."

*sob* Whoever they get next is going to be amazing, of course, but dammit, Eleven's my Doctor really. I wonder if this means the s7 finale was the last time we saw River. All the Ponds really are going, and I'm very sad about it.

If anyone else wants to come over here and cry about it with me, I have internet hugs for all.

I'll be a story in your head. But that's OK. We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Cause it was, you know. It was the best. A daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away. Did I ever tell you that I stole it? Well, I borrowed it. I was always going to take it back. Oh, that box... Amy, you'll dream about that box. It'll never leave you, big and little at the same time, brand new and ancient and the bluest blue ever. And the times we had, eh? Would've had... Never had. In your dreams, they'll still be there.

Raggedy Man, goodbye.
