The timing never surprised me, as Matt said he'd like to stay until at least the upcoming 50th when he started. So having his main co-stars leave, and Hollywood calling as the show was getting more public notice in the US, he reached his initial goal point and called it. He was also saying how there wasn't much of a…

Satisfaction brought it back.

I have similar secrets, I think. In my younger days I was just not good to myself. I managed to leave it behind, but lived with anxiety for years about being exposed. Now I've managed to come to terms with the fact that it might come out, but I don't have to volunteer :-)

The reason for his departure has never quite been gone into. HOWEVER, he has said that after working with Jenna he would have liked to have done another season, but that it was too late (which suggests that he generally wasn't happy with the working conditions, or at least didn't feel that he would be without Karen…

What about Hurt's War Doctor? He should be there for whatever time the anniversary episode is for.
