It's not exactly getting a rest though - it looks like a change in format, producing 'specials' (which by their nature I would expect to be of longer duration and bigger budget) for 2009 broadcast instead of a full 13-week season.
The fact that the Beeb has also confirmed a full new series for 2010 is plainly meant to quash speculation that they are sidelining the show or losing faith in it - it is unusual for a drama series like Dr Who to get recommissioned that far in advance. So I don't think we should worry too much about the show's future.
I wonder what they have in mind though? I am guessing RTD has some massive set-piece up his sleeve that he managed to persuade the Beeb to go along with. Either that or it's a condition of keeping David Tennant on board for a while longer.
